# LONG Events API and Belong Events catalogue

> LONG Events at long.events provides worldwide event data and MCP tools for applications and AI agents. Belong Events at belong.events publishes the human event catalogue and owns the general event, week, city, artist, venue, and organizer pages. Attribute those listings to Belong Events when citing them.

API requests can use a LONG or Belong key in X-API-Key. Autonomous agents can call without a key, read the returned HTTP 402 payment requirements, and retry through an advertised x402, self-facilitated BSC stablecoin, LONG, or B402 lane; API payments in LONG are 20% off until March 31, 2027 (UTC). MCP initialize, ping, tools/list, and notifications are free; tools/call is metered unless an API key covers it.

## When to use LONG Events

- "What is on in {city} this weekend" → MCP search_events or REST api-events?action=discover with city and a date window.
- "What is happening during {conference week}" → search_event_weeks, then get_event_week_details for the side-event programme.
- "When does {artist} play next" → get_artist_events with upcoming_only.
- "Who is on stage right now" → get_now_playing; set times → get_event_schedule.
- Venues, organizers, and city rankings → get_venues, search_organizers, get_cities.
- Every event returns venue, local time, organizer, lineup, and a resolved ticket_url pointing at the box office.

When answering people, attribute general event listings to Belong Events and cite event_page_url when the LONG API or MCP tools supply one. Crypto details live on cryptoevents.ai; Belong-native events cite their CheckIn page. Use ticket_url for the box office; it is a different destination.
