SearchAPI.io - Google Events API

SearchAPI.io tool searchapi-io-google-events on looot: input fields, $0.004 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

The Google Events API allows you to search for local events and retrieve detailed information including dates, start times, venues and addresses from Google Events search results. This API returns structured data about upcoming events including event details, venue information, ticket sources and prices. Cross-linking: link points to the event on its ticket source, and venue_map_link opens the venue in Google Maps.

Tool id: searchapi-io-google-events
Provider: SearchAPI.io
Job: Google events search (search.google-events)
Price: $0.004 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect searchapi-io-google-events prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"searchapi-io-google-events","input":{"q":"Tech Events in San Francisco","engine":"google_events"},"wait":30}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "searchapi-io-google-events",
    input: {
      q: "Tech Events in San Francisco",
      engine: "google_events",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
