}GET /api/calendar
Returns a live text/calendar (.ics) feed with reminders that updates itself. Add it to Google / Apple / Outlook.
webcal://hackevents.net/api/calendar?q=learning%20python&country=de
Stable JSON, CORS-open, no auth. Pass a user's sentence straight into q and read events[].matchReasons and understood to explain your picks. Use sourceUrl to link back to the origin and calendar to hand off a living subscription.
POST /api/events · GET /api/events?mine=1
Hosts and platforms push events in and pull them back out programmatically — authenticated with a per-host API key. Keep your own system of record: pass a stable externalId and re-POSTing the same event updates your listing instead of duplicating it.
