Countdown categories
Countdowns are organized by categories. Some are automatically populated from public APIs (sports, concerts, games, finance, space, holidays), others are entirely user-created.
Which categories are available?
Sports, concerts, video games, finance, space, holidays and celebrations, exams, and a generic "miscellaneous" category for personal counters.
How are sports categories populated?
Football, basketball, rugby, F1, UFC, and other disciplines are populated via API-Sports. Tennis and cycling via TheSportsDB.
Where do the listed concerts come from?
Ticketmaster (international) and SeatGeek (United States). Concerts include an affiliate link to ticketing.
How are video game releases fetched?
Via the RAWG.io API, which aggregates multi-platform release dates.
Which financial events are listed?
Company earnings and IPOs via Finnhub, plus a few annual commercial events (Black Friday, etc.).
Which space events are tracked?
Rocket launches, ISS dockings via Launch Library 2. Major solar events via NASA DONKI.
