POST /api/kharon/events

Price: 1 credit

Fetch one Kharon event by its alias — a hosted webinar, an in-person appearance at an industry conference, or a third-party event Kharon takes part in. Returns the agenda description, start and end dates and times with the timezone labels the site advertises, city and stand location, panel titles with their speakers and biographies, partner organisations, the registration or recording link, and the sector and format tags.

How to use it

The three event formats fill different fields: a hosted webinar carries `video_url` and `timezones`, an in-person appearance carries `city`, `location` and `panels[]`, and a third-party listing carries only `link` pointing at the organiser's own page. Read `starts_at` for the calendar date and `start_time` for the clock time — they are separate fields and a multi-day conference sets only the former. Past and upcoming events share this endpoint, so compare `starts_at` against today rather than assuming the event is forthcoming.

Parameters

• access-token string required

Request body

• timeout integer — Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) (default: 300; min: 20; max: 1500)
• alias string required — Event alias, the last segment of its kharon.com/events/... address. A full event URL is accepted and reduced to the alias (examples: "descartes-innovation-forum-2026", "https://www.kharon.com/events/european-anti-financial-crime-summit"; minLength: 1)

Errors

• 422 — The request body did not validate Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — No event carries that alias Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
