Events

Read curated, scored crypto events. Filter by coin, category, date range, or impact. Every event has an editorial title, date, linked coins, and (on Pro+) source proof and an impact score.

Endpoints

GET/v2/events

List events

Returns a paginated list of upcoming events. Default sort is date asc (soonest first). The coins, categories, and date filters compose with AND.

Parameters

FieldInTypeRequiredDescription
coinsquerystringnoComma-separated coin **slugs** (e.g. `bitcoin,ethereum`). Tickers are accepted but **strongly discouraged**; symbols collide across coins (e.g. `UNI` resolves to several different projects). Use `GET /v2/coins` to look up canonical slugs.
categoriesquerystringnoComma-separated category ids. Case-insensitive. Use `GET /v2/categories` to look up the canonical id list.
fromqueryiso8601noInclusive lower bound on `date`. Default = today.
toqueryiso8601noInclusive upper bound on `date`. Default = today + tier upcoming window (e.g. 7 days on Free, 90 days on Standard, full on Pro+).
impactMinquerynumbernoLower bound on impact score (0.0–10.0). Pro+ only; ignored on Standard.
sortByquerystringnoSort order. Default `date_asc` (soonest first).Default date_asc·Enum: date_asc · date_desc · created_desc · created_desc_and_updated_desc · impact_desc
limitqueryintegernoPage size (1–100).Default 20
cursorquerystringnoOpaque pagination cursor returned in the previous response's `meta.cursor`.

Response item

FieldTypeDescription
idstringStable event identifier.
slugstringURL-safe slug used on the public site.
titlestringEditorial title: neutral, factual, no marketing copy.
descriptionstringOne-paragraph summary of what the event is and what's at stake.
dateiso8601Event start date in ISO-8601. **Do NOT render this directly when `isEstimated` is true** (see below). Use it for sorting / filtering / machine logic.
dateEndiso8601Range end date. Empty string on single-day events. Non-empty marks this as a multi-day window.
dateTypestringOne of `date` · `month` · `quarter`. Indicates how the date was sourced. Range events use `date` with a non-empty `dateEnd`. Drives display reconstruction when `isEstimated` is true.
isEstimatedboolean**True when the date is a hedge or a window-end.** `month` / `quarter` events auto-imply true; for `date` it depends on the source's wording (e.g. "around 15 May", "expected by Q2"). When true, treat `date` as imprecise and use `displayedDate` to render to users.
displayedDatestringPre-formatted human-readable date string (e.g. `Q2 2026`, `By 30 May`, `Aug 2026`, `01 Jun → 03 Jun`). Use this on user-facing UI; fall back to constructing your own from `dateType` + `date` + `dateEnd` + `isEstimated` only if you need a different format.
categoriesstring[]Editorial categories from the canonical taxonomy (e.g. `Release`, `Regulation`, `Fork/Swap`).
coinsarray<CoinRef>Coins linked to this event.
impactnumberEditorial impact score, 0.0–10.0. `null` on Standard. Tiered (Low/Mid/High/Critical) on Pro. Precise on Elite+.
impactSummarystringOne-sentence editorial summary for the impact score (Pro+).
sourceUrlstringURL of the original announcement (Pro+).
snapshotUrlstringScreenshot proof of the source at the time of curation (Pro+).
lastVerifiedAtiso8601When editorial last re-verified this event (Pro+).
createdAtiso8601When the event was first added to the catalog.
updatedAtiso8601When the event was last modified.
