Showing events on your own website (event feed)

You can release individual events to a public, key-less JSON feed and use it to power your own website's event calendar.

If you want to show your events on your own website — in your own design, not as an embedded Univents page — you can release individual events for that. Univents then serves them through a public, read-only feed that your website (or your agency's) can fetch and render itself.

Showing an event on your website

The release happens directly on the event, not in one central place:

  1. Open the event you want to show.
  2. Click the Show on website toggle in the header of the detail view.
  3. Univents saves the change immediately and confirms with a brief message.

Once the toggle is on, the event shows up in the feed within a few minutes. Turning it off again, or deleting the event, removes it from the feed just as automatically. The toggle only affects that one event — there's no bulk release for all events at once.

What's in the feed

The feed only returns fields meant for a public calendar display: title, description, start and end time, whether the date is already confirmed, venue, header image, tags, and a link to ticket sales (if the event has a ticket-sale booking page). Internal data like budget, guest count, notes, contact details, status, or finance data is never included in the feed, regardless of whether the event is public.

Fetching the feed

The feed is public and reachable without login or an API key — a website or external tool can load it directly via fetch:

GET https://univents.app/api/public/your-workspace/events
GET https://univents.app/api/public/your-workspace/events/{eventId}

your-workspace is your workspace's slug, which you can also find in your computer's address bar after /home/. Use the from and to parameters to narrow the time range, and limit to cap the number of results (default 50, max 100). limit is rounded to one of three steps — 25, 50, or 100 — so the cache only has to handle a handful of variants: any value you request is rounded up to the next step, so ?limit=10 returns 25 entries just like ?limit=25, and anything above 100 is capped at 100. Without any parameters, the feed returns every released event from today onward.

A sample response looks like this:

{
  "workspace": "your-workspace",
  "count": 2,
  "events": [
    {
      "id": "…",
      "title": "Summer concert",
      "description": "…",
      "start": "2026-08-20T18:00:00Z",
      "end": "2026-08-20T23:00:00Z",
      "date_is_confirmed": true,
      "venue": "Main hall",
      "image_url": "https://…",
      "tags": ["Concert"],
      "ticket_url": "https://univents.app/book/your-workspace/your-page",
      "updated_at": "2026-08-05T09:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

For developers and agencies

The feed is deliberately built to drop straight into an existing website without managing credentials:

  • No auth, no API key — the route is publicly reachable, but only ever returns events for that workspace that have the toggle switched on.
  • CORS is open, so a fetch call works directly from any website's browser.
  • Cached — responses are cacheable for a short time (a few minutes) to keep frequent lookups fast. A newly released event therefore doesn't appear instantly, but within a few minutes.
  • Rate-limited — a very high number of requests in a short time from the same source gets an error response instead of empty data; this isn't relevant for normal website traffic.
  • An unknown workspace slug returns an error, not an empty list — so you notice right away if the slug is wrong.

Frequently asked questions

Does the feed also show locations that are booked but not switched to public? No. The feed only shows events for which you've explicitly turned on Show on website — never your general location occupancy.

Does the feed include prices? Not directly. It includes a link to ticket sales (ticket_url) if the event has a ticket-sale booking page — the actual prices live on that booking page.

Do I have to release every event individually? Yes, there's currently no bulk release. The toggle deliberately sits on each event individually, so you keep full control over what's publicly visible.

Is this feature tied to a specific plan? The feed only ever shows what you release yourself — there are no additional requirements beyond your normal event permissions.

Does calling the feed cost me anything? No, the feed is a read-only view of data you've already released — there are no separate costs for it.
