How it works
Refreshed every 30 minutes

From scattered sources
to a single, current feed.

  1. 01 Scrape

    We scan the valley every 30 minutes.

    A scheduled crawler visits a curated list of local sources — venues, municipalities, papers, and community calendars — and pulls anything new.

    00:30 cadence
  2. 02 Compile

    Each event is normalized into one shape.

    Dates, locations, categories, and descriptions are cleaned, de-duplicated, and stitched into a single, queryable feed served from our API.

    One schema
  3. 03 Serve

    It lands here, instantly.

    The site, the planned embeds, and any future client read from the same API — so anything new in the valley shows up everywhere at once.

Sources
7 | Trusted Publishers

Aggregating events from
trusted local sources.

Every listing on FoxTrail traces back to a known publisher in the Flathead — venues, chambers, papers, and community calendars. If a source is missing, tell us and we'll add it to the crawler.

Build on the Flathead's
event graph.

Once the data settles, the same feed that powers this site will be installable anywhere — query it directly, or drop a styled widget into any page. Same source of truth, two surfaces.

01 API

One endpoint, every event in the valley.

A clean, versioned read API for the entire FoxTrail feed. Filter by date range, region, source, or category. Cached at the edge so queries stay quick on rural connections.

  ],
  "meta": { "total": …, "limit": …, "offset": … }
}
02 Embeds

Drop FoxTrail-styled events on any site.

Lightweight widgets that render the same editorial event cards used here. Pick a region, drop in a script, and your visitors get a live feed without leaving your page.
