When place.scope is used, results will contain events that apply to the parent and children places of the specified place. E.g. National, regional and local school holidays that apply to a region. When place.exact is used, results will contain events that apply to the specified place only.E.g. Regional school holidays only. Please note that use of a suffix is required.

There are 2 parts to a Placekey: what@where
  • What:Contains 2 part in the form {address}-{POI}.
    • The first part represents an address.
    • The second part represents a Point Of Interest (E.g. named venue). This will be missing on locations that only have addresses
  • Where: An H3 hexagon index(resolution 10) of the event.
This filter supports entering a full Placekey to match events having that specific Placekey or a partial Placekey (such as just the @where part) to perform a partial match on Placekey. You can use the following Placekey format in this filter:
  • {address}-{poi}@{where} - only returns events with a full matching placekey (an exact match)
  • {address}@{where} - matches events where the the address and where part match (even if poi is different)
  • @{where} - matches events for which the @Where part matches, ignores the {address}-{poi} parts. You can perform a partial match on the @Where part to find nearby events. The minimum amount of characters that can be matched on is 5. See using Placekey for more details.

Response Fields

Field
Description
aviation_rank number, null
A log scale numerical value between 0 and 100 with a five-level hierarchical impact schema. Aviation Rank indicates how much an event will impact flight bookings by considering both domestic and international travel. It can be mapped to the predicted increase in demand based on people flying to an event. Therefore, events with higher Aviation Rank are expected to result in more people taking flights than lower Aviation Rank events. Aviation Rank is calculated for events in the categories concerts, conferences, expos, sports, festivals, performing-arts, observances, public-holidays, and school-holidays. If aviation_rank is not intended to be available for an event or we couldn't calculate it, this field will be null. E.g. 85
