Maintaining your events calendar shouldn't be a part-time job.
Stop loading your events calendar by hand.
EventPipe is an automated events scraper and uploader for hyperlocal publishers. We pull events from your local sources, tag them for your CMS, and ship a clean weekly feed straight into your site.
Real output. Live every Monday morning.

How it works
Three steps. Then it just runs.
Tell us your sources
Share the libraries, parks, museums, and tourism sites you want covered, and how your CMS expects events.
We build your scraper
We write a custom scraper for each source, map their fields to your CMS, and configure your tag taxonomy.
Your feed ships every week
Events land in your sheet, CSV, or directly in your CMS. Forever. We monitor and maintain.
Case study
One publisher swapped a full-time researcher for EventPipe.
"Before EventPipe, I was spending entire evenings copy-pasting events into my site. Now it just shows up. I got my Sundays back."
What we scrape
If your area lists events online, we can probably feed them in.
Public library systems
Branch calendars, LibCal, Bibliocommons, custom WordPress library sites — including registration-required programs.
City government event sites
Official municipal calendars from city websites, including council meetings, public hearings, and community programming.
Parks & Recreation programs
Class registrations, sports leagues, after-school programs, and outdoor events from city or county parks departments.
Tourism & destination sites
"Visit [City]" event calendars run by local tourism boards — usually the highest-volume single source in any market.
