Things to Do API
Things To Do API lets developers and AI-agent builders search localized events through REST or MCP. It returns structured event details, including local times, venues, and ticket links.
One of 651 tools in AI Agents
Who it's for
- Developers building local discovery apps who need structured event listings and ticket links.
- AI-agent builders who want event search through natural-language queries and an MCP endpoint.
- Teams serving users in the San Francisco Bay Area, the region listed as live.
Not the right fit if…
- Teams needing live coverage in New York City or Los Angeles: both regions are listed as coming soon.
How it fits your workflow
Send a plain-language event query to the REST search endpoint, or connect through the MCP endpoint. The page provides an example query for comedy in San Francisco this weekend.
Use the returned structured event information, including title, category, start time, local date and time, venue, city, and source or ticket links.
