Facebook Page Events API. Upcoming and past events, page by page.

Upcoming and past events a Page or person hosts. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

Returns the public events on a Facebook Page's or person's Events tab, upcoming or past, from a vanity name, profile ID or profile link. Each event has its name, whether it's scheduled, under way, over or canceled, its start time with its offset from UTC, whether it's online, its venue and city, its cover and who hosts it. Narrow them by date with since and until.

What you send and what comes back.

The response reference lists every field, its type and when it is null. See the full schema.

Null means unknown
A field Facebook Events doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero.
What it accepts
The Facebook profile (a Page's or a person's): its vanity name (jannuslive, case-insensitive), its numeric profile ID, or any link to it: facebook.com/<name> with any tab after it, profile.php?id=…, /people/<name>/<id>, /p/<name>-<id>.
What comes back
Public events with their start and end, time zone, venue or online flag, hosts, categories, ticket link and attendance.

platformstring: Platform ID (facebook, …).
idstring: Platform-native event ID (string; Facebook's numeric event ID).
urlstring: Canonical event page URL (https://www.facebook.com/events/<id>/).
namestring: The event's name as its page shows it.
descriptionstring: Its description as plain text; null when it has none.
statusstring: At fetch time: scheduled (not started), ongoing (started, not over), ended (over), canceled (called off by its hosts); unknown when the source that answered does not show it (a fallback whose results hold only a name and a picture). New values may be added; treat any other value as unknown.
start_atstring: When it starts, RFC 3339 UTC; null only when the platform shows no start.
end_atstring: When it ends, RFC 3339 UTC; null when its hosts set no end or the platform does not show it.

What teams build with the Facebook Page Events API.

List what a venue or band has coming up
Watch a Page for new or canceled events
Collect a venue's or brand's event history
Fill a local calendar with covers and venues

Good to know before you build.

Upcoming events come soonest first and past events latest first, so since ends a walk of past events and until a walk of upcoming ones.
Attendance, categories, descriptions, tickets and end times aren't in the list: the Facebook Event API returns them for an event's ID.
utc_offset_minutes is null for past and multi-day events and for one under way, because Facebook then shows the days alone or "Happening now" instead of the local start time.
hosts names who created the event and the profile it's listed on, and the Facebook Event API lists every host. The profile's name, picture and badge are filled when you send it by name.
The list holds what Facebook shows logged out, which for a person can be far fewer events than the count on their tab.
A profile with no events, or none in the tab you ask for, returns an empty list.
A link to a profile's past_hosted_events tab reads as the profile: send time=past for those events.
An unknown name, a profile not open to the public and a deactivated one all return private_or_unavailable, because Facebook answers them alike.
