Stream of events

Try in sandbox  

The stream of events that were added or updated in the last few minutes.

The API endpoint allows the user to obtain the full list of events that were added or updated in Event Registry in the last few minutes.

The endpoint can be used without any additional filters, which will return all added or updated events. Alternatively, you can specify filters to return only events in a certain language, from specific locations, mentioning specific keywords, concepts, etc.

This is the only API call that also allows returning more than 50 events per call. If more than 50 events are returned, then correspondingly higher number of tokens are used per call.
