GET /v1/events/:eventId

Returns the rich detail for a single event. The list responses carry enough to render a card; this endpoint adds the full description, the venue, the showing times, endTime/isOngoing, and — importantly — the real ticket link, which the event list does not carry.

The example is abridged. See Data types for every field.

Provenance

• Timing, ticket/detail/calendar links, ticketPrice, description, image come from the event record. isFree is true, false, or null for unknown. ticketPrice is { min, max, currency } when the source states an amount and null otherwise (an event that is explicitly free never carries a price).
• Venue name, address, and coordinates are resolved from our place data. The venue is enrichment: the event still renders when the venue lookup fails.
• All outbound links are sanitized to absolute http(s) URLs; non-http values become null.

Errors

All errors use the shared envelope and codes; see Errors. This route's own code is 404 event_not_found — no such event.
