The data behind every published Stumblday pick — what, when, where, how much, and the link — is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

For each pick on a published board, these fields, in board order — exactly the fields the JSON feed carries, and the same data wherever it appears on the site:
title — the event titleurl — the item's Stumblday page — the link that satisfies attributionofficialUrl — the organizer or official source page used to verify the listingvenue — the venue nameborough — the boroughdateText — the date and time as shown on the boardstartAt — the start timeendAt — the end or closing timeisFree — whether the pick is free (price information as shown on the board is covered too)tags — the board's category tagssummary — the one-line summary, at most 200 characterscategory — the category slug or label shown on the board (theater, music, …)transience — the run label shown on the card (Ongoing, Limited Run, Recurring)Board metadata in the feed (weekendStart, boardVerifiedAt, numberOfItems) is covered too.
Short quotations with a link to the page are fine within fair use; the license does not extend to them.
Link each item you reproduce to its Stumblday page — the url field in the feed, which is the address of the event page. That visible link is the attribution; you do not need to add a license notice. If you re-rank, filter or edit the data, say so. Where a per-item link is impossible (print, audio), credit “Stumblday” and give https://stumblday.com/things-to-do/nyc.

Stumblday's NYC pipeline reads the city's official NYC Permitted Event Information dataset through its public Socrata API. It keeps records in the board window, normalizes names, times and locations, and deduplicates them alongside public venue calendars. Permit records are candidates, not endorsements: publication and ranking are separate editorial decisions, and a permit does not imply safety or quality.
A separate build step uses the city's BUILDING footprint dataset to generate a skyline visual asset. These city datasets are inputs; Stumblday does not claim ownership of them or include the raw datasets in its licensed event feed.
For broader coverage beyond Stumblday's hand-picked board, see CalDiscovery's New York calendars, which collect public calendars from local venues and community spaces, and New York City's official permitted-events feed. They are independent sources and are not part of Stumblday's licensed feed.
The New York City board is a list of public events. Facts about them — who, where, when, how much — are not ours to fence off, and the list gets copied whether or not we permit it. Licensing the data makes the copy legal and asks for the one thing that serves the reader: a link to the page each pick came from, where the full description, the organiser's own link and any updates live. The prose and the images stay unlicensed because much of the imagery belongs to organisers and venues, and the descriptions are the work the site exists to do.
Yes. CC BY 4.0 permits copying, redistribution, adaptation and commercial use, on the one condition that you attribute — here, a visible link to the Stumblday page of each item you reproduce.
A visible link to the Stumblday page of each item you reproduce: the url field in the feed, or the address of the event page. Where a per-item link is impossible (print, audio), credit "Stumblday" and give https://stumblday.com/things-to-do/nyc. If you re-ranked, filtered or edited the data, say so — the license asks that changes be indicated.
No. The feed at https://stumblday.com/api/feed/weekend.json is public, needs no key, and is cached for about five minutes. The license is the permission.
No. Everything on the pages beyond the licensed fields — the longer descriptions, "why go" notes, tips, FAQs, guides and newsletter issues — and every image is all rights reserved. Many images belong to organisers and venues and are not Stumblday's to license.
Every published board and its day, category, venue and series slices under /things-to-do/nyc, and every /events/ page. The licensed fields are the same data wherever they appear; the JSON feed is the intended way to take them.
