Event Export Feed: XML Format

Contact us 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.
