Event Export Feed: JSON Format

Contact Michael to review the requirements prior to creating your feed.

Events

Feed fields include:

Required

  • title
  • start (includes date and time)
  • venue name and/or festival name (location is required to distinguish venues that share the same name)

Remaining

  • musician names
  • price
  • currency code (e.g. USD, EUR, GBP)
  • native description
  • English description
  • ticket URL

Feed records are skipped if:

  • A direct match is not found on a venue or festival name. Jazz Near You matches on the name to determine location.
  • A required field is missing.

Sample JSON Feed Format

This represents a single record. Additional events would be included within the <events> tag.
