Over the last little while, we’ve been busy developing a number of new products to take 49st to the next level of usability.

Our latest release is a beta API that provides access to our large database of event and venue content, as well as the ability to add content to it. The 49st API is ideal for blogs, portals, newspaper publishers, radio stations or any sites seeking local event and venue content.

The API is easy to use, just request an ‘application key’ then get started. You can have our events and venues on your site with just a few lines of code!

Ex.

$fn = new FortyNineSt("YOUR_API_KEY", "SECRET_KEY");
// example of a query for up to 5 venues in Toronto, Canada
$str = $fn->search_venue(array( 'city' => 'Toronto', 'country' => 'CA','limit' => 5 ) );
