Get Started

Event Connectors makes your work in tourism, culture, destination marketing, city marketing, and the events industry easier. It provides a unified API for managing and querying events, locations, venues, and routes across the Netherlands.

This guide walks you from "I have an account" to "I made my first API call."

Get an API Token

1. Sign in to the Event Connectors console at app.eventconnectors.nl.
2. Navigate to Account → Tokens.
3. Create a new token and copy the value — you will need it for every API request.

For a deeper look at authentication options (including JWT signin for UI/CLI tools), see the Authentication page.

Make Your First Request

The production API host is:

https://app.eventconnectors.nl/api

Use your API token to fetch a list of events:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  https://app.eventconnectors.nl/api/events

const response = await fetch("https://app.eventconnectors.nl/api/events", {
  headers: {
    Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN",
  },
});

const events = await response.json();
console.log(events);

A successful response returns a JSON array of events with fields like title, calendar, entitytype, trcItemCategories, and more. Each event is a TRCItem — the core object in the Event Connectors data model.
