Things to Do API launches local events data service for agent apps
What happened
On October 17, a Show HN post on the Hacker News front page introduced the newly launched Things to Do API, which supplies local events data to agent applications, covering gigs, talks, pop-ups, markets and festivals. It connects over REST and MCP and takes natural-language queries. The free tier is 1,000 calls a month at 60 per minute; users without a key get 50 trial queries a day. Usage pricing is $5 per 1,000 calls, dropping to $3 per 1,000 above 100,000 calls and $2 per 1,000 above 1 million. The post discloses the access methods, query capability and free and paid quotas.
