Introduction

OpenActive data has a large number of recommended and optional fields, some of which are not available from all providers.

Although it is always advisable to take a due to this variance, in order to future-proof your interface, it can be useful to see all available fields in a single result item.

Dummy Data: Lorem Fitsum

Our sandbox environment contains a data source called "Lorem Fitsum", which produces complete records of dummy data, based in the area of Oxford:

  • Address: 🇬🇧 Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, United Kingdom

  • Latitude: 51.7520131

  • Longitude: -1.2578499

loremfitsum data contains two types of record with a rough 50/50 split across both:

  • Randomly generated: these contain a random collection of OpenActive recommended and optional fields, but does not necessarily include all fields.

  • Golden records: these have a "GOLDEN:" prefix in their name property and contain all available fields in the OpenActive, OpenActive Beta, and imin . Note that other custom properties are available from data providers, documented in their @context, however, these are only present in the results endpoints (e.g. /event-series/:id) and not in the search summaries.

Please see for information on how to access our dummy data.
