Hi,

Thanks for the examples.

Let’s check one by one:

1. L2F1dGhvcml0eS9ob3Jpem9uL2NsdXN0ZXJlZF9ldmVudC8yMDI0LTA1LTI1fDkzMjg4NjU4MDkyMzM5MDQ0NjM=:
   “start_time”: “2024-05-25 00:00:00”,
   “start_time_utc”: “2024-05-25 00:00:00”,
   “start_time_precision_sec”: 86400,
   “end_time”: “2024-05-26 00:30:00”,
   “end_time_utc”: “2024-05-26 07:30:00”,
   “end_time_precision_sec”: 1,

Given the accuracy of the start time is a day (86400 seconds), the fact that start_time is off by a day or less makes sense.

2. L2F1dGhvcml0eS9ob3Jpem9uL2NsdXN0ZXJlZF9ldmVudC8yMDI0LTA2LTE0fDEwNDI0MTY1NDYxNzYzMzMzNTg4:
   “start_time”: “2024-06-14 22:00:00”,
   “start_time_utc”: “2024-06-15 05:00:00”,
   “start_time_precision_sec”: 1,
   “end_time”: “2024-06-14 23:30:00”,
   “end_time_utc”: “2024-06-15 06:30:00”,
   “end_time_precision_sec”: 1,

This one has the correct times as on site (10pm PST).

3. L2F1dGhvcml0eS9ob3Jpem9uL2NsdXN0ZXJlZF9ldmVudC8yMDIzLTA3LTEwfDExMjEwMDY4NDQ0ODgyNTYwMjAy:
   “start_time_precision_sec” :1,
   “end_time_precision_sec”: 1

This one seems like an anomaly, probably Google’s algorithm extracted the wrong times from the source page. Another option is, since this is a recurring weekly event then the start/end times might not be the exact time in the day in which the event actually takes place (notice that start and end dates are month apart).

I’ve also added start_time_utc and end_time_utc to the response to more easily understand what’s going.

Thank you,
Adam

let’s discuss this examples
"event_id": “L2F1dGhvcml0eS9ob3Jpem9uL2NsdXN0ZXJlZF9ldmVudC8yMDI0LTA1LTI1fDkzMjg4NjU4MDkyMzM5MDQ0NjM=”,
here start date is start_time: "2024-05-25 00:00:00"
and in website (https://www.augusthallsf.com/event/13527873/action-bronson/) is 8:30 pm | Doors: 7:30 pm

and the same time
"event_id": “L2F1dGhvcml0eS9ob3Jpem9uL2NsdXN0ZXJlZF9ldmVudC8yMDI0LTA2LTE0fDEwNDI0MTY1NDYxNzYzMzMzNTg4”,
start_time": "2024-06-14 22:00:00"
and in website (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cupcakke-tickets-900711340867) Starts on Friday, June 14 · 10pm PDT

and here eventID (L2F1dGhvcml0eS9ob3Jpem9uL2NsdXN0ZXJlZF9ldmVudC8yMDIzLTA3LTEwfDExMjEwMDY4NDQ0ODgyNTYwMjAy)
start_time: “2024-05-14 17:30:00”,
and in web(https://www.openmicsanfrancisco.com/MoreInfo/NzQjIyMjVEVYVA==) 8:30 PM - 11:30 PM

something is not correct , so which one is correct ?

Thanks for the example.

There is the concept of start time and end time precision. Google Events gives a precision score for the start and end times as extracted from the source.

In the case of the event with id L2F1dGhvcml0eS9ob3Jpem9uL2NsdXN0ZXJlZF9ldmVudC8yMDI0LTA1LTI3fDMxNDg5Njk1MDAxMzE5MDY1OTc, the precision for the start time is of 1 day (86400 seconds).

This is a very good point - thanks for bring it up! I just added two new fields to each event object that captures the precision: start_time_precision_sec and end_time_precision_sec.

Thanks again,
Adam

Please check this example
The api returns start_time: “2024-05-27 00:00:00”, but the website shows 20:00
There are many examples like this
Can you check please ?

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

The times are specified in the timezone of the event location. In your example, the start time of 2024-06-02 13:00:00 is on GMT-8.

Thank you,
Adam

Hi, could you help me deeply understand the start and end dates for events? For example:

This is a event date in San Francisco
start_time: “2024-06-02 13:00:00”,
end_time: “2024-06-02 17:00:00”,

Could you clarify whether start_time is in GMT 0 or GMT 8?

Hi,

My pleasure. Thanks again for bringing this point to my attention.

Feel free and let me know if you have any questions or ideas.

Thank you,
Adam

I found Coordinates in venue part. Thanks again

And I kindly request you to add the Map Lat Long Coordinates of the city as an additional response to connect with the map API services.
