Open data: the NYC board is CC BY 4.0

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). Copy it, republish it, build on it; the one condition is a visible link to the Stumblday page of each item you use. The writing on the pages and the images are not covered.

What is licensed

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:

Board metadata in the feed (weekendStart, boardVerifiedAt, numberOfItems) is covered too.

What is not licensed (all rights reserved)

Short quotations with a link to the page are fine within fair use; the license does not extend to them.

How to attribute

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.

Why open

The 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.

FAQ

Can I use the board data commercially?

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.

What exactly counts as attribution?

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.

Do I need permission or an API key?

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.

Can I copy the descriptions, FAQs or images?

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.

Which pages does this cover?

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.
