Build with FoxTrail

Tools for builders

Two ways to put live Flathead Valley events on your site — a structured API to build your own, or drop-in embeds for when you just want a widget.

Event API Embeds
01 Event API

A structured events feed

The same normalized event data that powers FoxTrail, exposed as a clean read API for local sites, widgets, and experiments.

Free to start
  1. 01

    Normalized events

    One event shape for dates, venues, sources, prices, registration state, excerpts, and images.

  2. 02

    Predictable queries

    Browse by month, day, and source-backed filters without scraping individual calendars yourself.

  3. 03

    Edge cached

    A clean, versioned read API cached at the edge, so queries stay quick on rural connections.

Example request
Request v1
$ curl https://api.usefoxtrail.com/v1/events?from=2026-05-21 \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer fxt_…"

→ 200 OK
{
  "data": [
    { "title":     "…",
       "startDate": "…",
       "location":  "…" },
    …
  ],
  "meta": { "total": …, "limit": …, "offset": … }
}

Covering Whitefish, Kalispell, Bigfork, Columbia Falls, and Polson — with more of the valley coming online as new sources join the crawler.

02 Embeds

Drop-in event widgets

Lightweight widgets that render FoxTrail-styled event cards on any site. Pick a region, drop in a snippet, and visitors get a live feed without leaving the page.

Coming soon
  1. 01

    Responsive by default

    Built to fit sidebar, article, calendar, and full-width placements without custom layout work.

  2. 02

    Local event context

    Show relevant Flathead Valley events from the same normalized source graph powering FoxTrail.

  3. 03

    Styled, not invasive

    Widgets render FoxTrail-styled markup you can theme, without taking over the host page.

Planned markup
Markup HTML
<script src="https://usefoxtrail.com/embed.js"></script>

<foxtrail-events
  region="flathead"
  shape="list"
  limit="6"
/>
Planned shapes

Compact list

Upcoming events for sidebars and article rails.

Calendar block

A month view with day-level event counts.

Featured event

A single promoted or curated event module.

Embeds arrive once the API is stable, so widgets read from a feed that won't shift underneath them. Setup will live in your account when they ship.
