# Vientiane Events

> An open calendar of events in Vientiane, Laos. Much of what happens here is
> announced only in Facebook groups and Instagram stories, which most automated
> agents cannot read. This site republishes it as plain, fetchable data.

All times are local Vientiane time (Asia/Vientiane, UTC+7, no daylight saving).
Everything is submitted by venues and individuals and is not verified.

## Data

- [https://vientiane.events/events.json](https://vientiane.events/events.json) — upcoming events as JSON.
  Parameters: `from=YYYY-MM-DD`, `to=YYYY-MM-DD`, `days=N`, `q=` free text.
- [https://vientiane.events/events.txt](https://vientiane.events/events.txt) — the same as a flat digest.
- [https://vientiane.events/events.ics](https://vientiane.events/events.ics) — subscribable calendar feed.
- [https://vientiane.events/event/{id}.json](https://vientiane.events/) — a single event.

## Fields

Each event has a title, a start time, a venue, and usually a `description`
written by the organiser in Markdown. **Read the description** — it is where the
detail lives. Many events also carry a `flyer` image; its contents are not
transcribed, so do not assume the image repeats what the text says.
`links` may hold Instagram, Facebook or YouTube URLs for the organiser.
