Star Citizen Events API

This is a simple API to get the past events in Star Citizen. It is based on the Star Citizen Wiki as well as sourced from the community.

Usage

The API is available at . It is a simple GET request that returns a JSON object with the following structure:

    [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "name": "Red Festival",
            "alternativeName": "Lunar New Year",
            "description": "Launch into the Lunar New Year with a bold new adventure from January 20 through February 6.\n\nTo ring in a prosperous Year of the Rabbit here on Earth in 2023, and Year of the Rooster in 2953 Stanton, we're inviting you to celebrate the Red Festival with us. As is tradition throughout the UEE, red envelopes have been hidden across Stanton, and we're offering a variety of red and gold ship paints to tempt good fortune in the year ahead.",
            "knownIncorrect": null,
            "startDateTime": "2023-01-20T00:00:00",
            "endDateTime": "2023-02-06T00:00:00",
            "ingameStartDateTime": "2953-01-20T00:00:00",
            "ingameEndDateTime": "2953-02-06T00:00:00",
            "displayName": "Red Festival 2953"
        },
        {
            ...
        }
    ]

You can also get a single event by using the id parameter. For example, to get the event with the id of 1, you would use the following endpoint: /api/v1/ingame/events/1. This will return the following JSON object:

    {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "Red Festival",
        "alternativeName": "Lunar New Year",
        "description": "Launch into the Lunar New Year with a bold new adventure from January 20 through February 6.\n\nTo ring in a prosperous Year of the Rabbit here on Earth in 2023, and Year of the Rooster in 2953 Stanton, we're inviting you to celebrate the Red Festival with us. As is tradition throughout the UEE, red envelopes have been hidden across Stanton, and we're offering a variety of red and gold ship paints to tempt good fortune in the year ahead.",
        "knownIncorrect": null,
        "startDateTime": "2023-01-20T00:00:00",
        "endDateTime": "2023-02-06T00:00:00",
        "ingameStartDateTime": "2953-01-20T00:00:00",
        "ingameEndDateTime": "2953-02-06T00:00:00",
        "displayName": "Red Festival 2953"
    }

Notes:

• The id is the unique identifier for the event. It should not be used for sorting events by time.
• The displayName is the name of the event with the year appended to it. This is useful for displaying the event in a list. The formula for calculating it may change as events are added.
• The field knownIncorrect will list any known issues with the data. If this field is populated on any returns to you, treat the response with care.
• The ingameStartDateTime and ingameEndDateTime are the start and end dates of the event in the Star Citizen universe. This is useful for displaying the event in a list. The formula for calculating it may change as lore progresses. Currently, it just adds 930 years to the startDateTime and endDateTime values.
