Scrappa Get API key
Google Events API 1 credit/request

Google Events Search

GET https://scrappa.co/api/google-events?q=concerts+in+austin&hl=en&gl=us

Search the events pack Google shows for an event query (for example "concerts in austin") and get up to ten events with date, address, venue, description, price and ticket links. The response uses the field names of the SerpApi google_events engine. The htichips filter is approximated with query words, and uule is accepted but not sent. start above 0 returns an empty events_results because the pack holds one page.

Parameters

Start with the required fields, then add optional filters only when your use case needs them.

Runnable path

1 required parameter needed before sending a request.

6 optional filters available.

q string Required

Event query, for example "concerts in austin"

Example value concerts in austin
hl string Optional

Interface language code (e.g., en, de, pt-br)

Example value en
gl string Optional

Country code (e.g., us, gb)

Example value us
location string Optional

Place name added to the query when the query does not contain it. Cannot be combined with uule.

Example value Austin, Texas
uule string Optional

Encoded Google location, echoed in search_parameters and not sent. Cannot be combined with location.

Example value example
htichips string Optional

Comma separated filters: date:today, date:tomorrow, date:week, date:weekend, date:next_week, date:month, date:next_month, event_type:Virtual-Event. Applied as query words (best effort).

Example value example
start integer Optional

Zero-based offset. The events pack has one page, so start above 0 returns no events. Default: 0.

Example value 0
