count_events_by_craftread-onlyCount matching events per craft. How many events match a search, per top-level craft, for the 'Jump to a craft' chips. Takes the same filters as GET /api/events (q, type, tag, state, when or from+to, near or lat+lng, radius, free, online, inperson, tz) and counts with every one of them except craft, which is accepted and ignored, so each craft keeps its number while one is chosen. Child crafts cou
count_events_by_stateread-onlyCount upcoming events per state. Upcoming published events in the next 12 months, grouped by US state, with each state's most common craft. `by` must be `state`.
get_appearanceread-onlyThis site's look: its theme and the season showing today
get_eventread-onlyGet one event by slug. One published event with its upcoming dates and its organizer's pictures (`images`, the first is the cover). `owned` says whether an organizer manages it, and `managedBy` names that organizer (their public page's slug, name and picture) when their profile is public. A former slug (the event was renamed when its year or town changed) answers the same event, under its current
get_event_contactread-onlyGet an event's organizer contact. The contact name, email and phone the organizer published for this event, exactly as they wrote them. 404s when the event has neither a name nor an email/phone. Rate-limited more strictly than other reads (the detail limit), and answers with Cache-Control: no-store and X-Robots-Tag: noindex.
get_event_demandread-onlyUpcoming event counts by network craft. A daily snapshot (crafting-network/event-demand@1) of how many published events Crafting Event Finder lists in the next 60 days (today to today plus 60, Pacific), per network craft tag from the network manifest, most first then by tag. Each craft gives its label, count (distinct events with a day in the window; a repeating or running event counts once), onli
get_event_join_detailsread-onlyGet an online event's join details. The link, meeting ID, passcode and phone the organizer published for joining online, exactly as they wrote them. Shown only from 30 minutes before the start of the event's next occurrence until it ends: outside that window it answers 403 forbidden with a message saying when the details appear (details.opensAt, an ISO time, when known). 404s when the event has no
get_not_listed_eventread-onlyA withdrawn event's title and status, with events like it. For the address of an event this site no longer lists (hidden, or cancelled and past): its title, whether it was cancelled, and up to 4 upcoming events like it (the same search as /similar). Never its contact, join or owner details. Any other slug (unknown, published, another site's) is a 404. The event page's 404 shows this (WI-094, WI-09
get_organizerread-onlyGet an organizer's public page. An organizer's public profile (name, About, website, town and state, crafts and picture) with their published events on this site: upcoming soonest first (at most 50), then the newest 12 past. Only organizers with a display name have a public page; anyone else is 404.
get_site_inforead-onlyThis site's name and which crafts it covers
get_taxonomyread-onlyCraft types, event types and tags used across the site
list_eventsread-onlySearch upcoming crafting events on this site. Published, upcoming events with their next date in the window. Filters: q (full text with typo tolerance), craft/type/tag (comma lists of taxonomy slugs; a top-level craft also matches its child crafts, so needlework includes cross-stitch), state, when (weekend|next7|next30|next90|month:YYYY-MM) or from+to, near (a US place as 'City, ST', e.g. 'Columbu
list_online_event_picksread-onlyOnline event picks to show beside a local search. The Online events band for a local search (a place with a distance, or a state): at most 3 online events anywhere that match the search's words, crafts, types, tags, price and dates, filled from other crafts only when short, each part ranked with a start in the viewer's small hours (10 pm to 7 am in tz) after the rest, then soonest, and the caller'
list_online_eventsread-onlyOnline events, by day in the viewer's time zone. The /online page: every published online or hybrid event whose next date falls in the next 30 days (from today in tz), filtered by craft, time of day (tod), day, free and language (lang), all judged in the viewer's zone (tz), and grouped by the viewer's own start date. At most 200 events are read; `truncated` says more exist. Time of day and day are
lookup_placeread-onlyLook up US places by name (for location search). Prefix match on US Census places. Accepts 'City' or 'City, ST'. Returns up to 8, largest first.
request_event_correctionReport an issue with an event listing. Anyone can flag an event as wrong, gone, cancelled, postponed or moved to a new date (rescheduled, with `newStartDate`); an admin reviews every request, none is applied on its own. Browser forms pass Turnstile; programmatic callers send an API key instead.
similar_eventsread-onlyEvents like this one. Up to 4 upcoming events like this one ("More like this" on the event page), never including the event itself: the same top-level crafts (a craft's child crafts included), or the same event type when the event has no craft; within 100 miles of the event, nearest first (250 miles when that finds fewer than 2); other online events anywhere, soonest first, for an online event; th
submit_eventSubmit an event for review. Goes to the moderation queue. Browser forms pass Turnstile; programmatic callers send an API key instead. A signed-in caller (session or user-scope key) skips Turnstile, is recorded as the submitter, may omit organizer_email (the account email is used), and a trusted submitter's event can publish straight away when auto-approval is on. Anonymous callers must send organi
