This API could be useful for culture hacks such as event listing aggregators or events recommendation. The information returned is the same as found on http://watershed.co.uk/. The API is unauthenticated, has two endpoints and returns XML. Events Endpoint - http://api.watershed.co.uk/events allows searching for a list of events by date. It accepts multiple "commence" parameters for specifying a date range of events. For example: http://api.watershed.co.uk/events?commence>2011-01-08&commence<2011-01-15&is_published=1 Exhibits Endpoint - http://api.watershed.co.uk/exhibits returns details for a specific event. It accepts a single event id parameter in the format http://api.watershed.co.uk/exhibits/{eventid} which can be found in the events endpoint results. For example: http://api.watershed.co.uk/exhibits/2710 Global Data Point Marketing Birmingham whats on section listings, plus multimedia listings content. EDI code of film listings across UK.
