What the feed is

Come Alone publishes a public, read-only feed of upcoming events that are easy to attend on your own, as static files: JSON, RSS and iCalendar (ICS). On 2026-11-02 the feed held 4,294 upcoming events in 627 cities across 17 countries (counts read from the feed when this page was built, 2026-11-02).

Event facts (title, date, time, venue, link) come from official open sources, each with its own licence and attribution requirement, listed below. The descriptions are summaries in our own words. Cover images are illustrations made by Meet & Mint. For the widget and a longer integration guide see /developers/.

Fields of an event

Dates carry an explicit UTC offset, so new Date(e.start) is correct; show them in e.timezone.

Updates

Each JSON file carries meta.generated_at (UTC) and each event carries updated_at. The calendar files declare REFRESH-INTERVAL:PT12H, so calendar apps check them every 12 hours. Files are cached for 30 minutes at the edge (max-age=1800). Only upcoming events are included.

Examples

curl

# first three upcoming events in Madrid
curl -s -A "MyApp/1.0 (+https://example.com)" https://comealone.app/feed/v1/city/madrid.json \
  | jq '.events[:3] | .[] | {title, start, source_url}'

JavaScript (browser or Node 18+)

const res = await fetch("https://comealone.app/feed/v1/city/madrid.json");
const { meta, events } = await res.json();

  console.log(e.title, e.start, e.source_url);   // always link to e.source_url
