Findandgoseek APIfindandgoseek.net ↗
Retrieve Vermont family event details from findandgoseek.net: title, date/time, venue, address, age groups, cost, contact info, and images via one API endpoint.
What is the Findandgoseek API?
The Find & Go Seek API gives developers programmatic access to community event listings from findandgoseek.net, a Vermont-focused family events directory. The single get_event endpoint returns 11 structured fields per event — including title, date/time range, venue address, contact details, age groups, cost, and image URL — identified by the event's page URL or path, with support for recurring event instances via query parameters.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

Retrieve full details for a community event given its page URL. Returns event title, date/time, venue, address, contact info, age groups, description, cost, categories, and image. Each event page is uniquely identified by its slug and optional query parameters (c, i, e) for recurring event instances.

}About the Findandgoseek API
What the API Returns
The get_event endpoint accepts a url parameter — either a full URL or a relative path on findandgoseek.net — and returns a structured record for that specific community event. The response includes the event title, a formatted date_time range, the full address (street, city, state, zip), and an image_url for the event photo. Organizer contact fields (email, phone, website) are included when available, along with cost info such as 'Free' or a fee description.
Recurring Events and Age Groups
Find & Go Seek lists many recurring events, and the url input supports the site's query parameters (c, i, e) to target a specific instance of a recurring event. This means you can retrieve the correct date/time data for weekly or monthly events rather than always hitting the first occurrence. The age_groups field returns a comma-separated list of intended audiences (e.g., toddlers, school-age, teens), which is useful for filtering or categorizing events in child-facing applications.
Coverage and Scope
All event data is scoped to listings on findandgoseek.net, which focuses on family-friendly activities primarily in Vermont. The canonical url field in each response confirms the resolved event page. Fields like cost and email may return empty strings when a listing does not include that information — consumers should handle optional fields defensively.
The Findandgoseek API is a managed, monitored endpoint for findandgoseek.net — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when findandgoseek.net changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official findandgoseek.net API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Build a Vermont family events calendar app using
date_time,address, andage_groupsfields - Aggregate free local events by filtering on
costreturning 'Free' - Display venue contact details (
phone,email,website) in a community events widget - Create age-targeted event digests by parsing the
age_groupscomma-separated field - Populate event cards with
title,image_url, anddate_timefor a family-focused newsletter - Track recurring event schedules by passing different
candiquery parameters for the same event slug
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 100 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does findandgoseek.net have an official developer API?+
What does the get_event endpoint return for recurring events?+
c, i, and e query parameters in the url input. The response will reflect the date_time for that particular occurrence rather than a generic or first-instance date. This allows you to retrieve correct scheduling data for weekly or monthly events.Does the API return a list of all events, or support searching by category or date?+
get_event. It does not expose a search, browse, or listing endpoint for querying events by date range, category, or location. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint that covers event discovery or search.Are all response fields always populated?+
cost, email, phone, and website depend on what the event organizer has entered in the listing. These may return empty strings when the source listing omits them. The title, date_time, and address fields are generally present on well-formed event pages, but consumers should handle any field defensively.
