# Get Event

Purpose  
Retrieve metadata for the active event, including key details (id, slug, name, timezone, start/end) and the available personas with their registration fields. Useful for client apps to configure flows and validate registration inputs.

Endpoint and Method

- Method: GET
    
- URL: {{base_url}}event
    

Path/URL Variables

- None. The base URL is parameterized via {{base_url}} in your active environment.
    

Headers

- Accept: application/json
    
- Accept-Encoding: application/json
    

Authentication

- If the API requires auth, use a Bearer token variable. Configure at the folder/collection level or request level:
    
    - Type: Bearer Token
        
    - Token: {{token}}
        
- If auth is inherited from the collection/folder, no per-request changes are needed here.
