Add Event Listings to Your Site

Anyone can display USC Event Calendar listings on their own site.

Note: Implementation is DIY. ITS Web Services does not provide support or troubleshooting for embeds on sites they did not build.

There are two ways to display events:

Embed the Localist widget (Easy)

Best for a quick setup if you just want a simple list of events.

  1. Open the Localist Widget Builder.
  2. Fill out the form to choose which events to display (see filter options below).
  3. Copy the script (a few lines of code).
  4. Paste it into your site’s HTML.

Use the Localist API (Advanced)

Best for developers who want full control over styling and layout.

  1. Pull event data using Localist’s API.
  2. Apply filters to get the events you need.
  3. Customize the display and design using your own code and CSS.

Filter Your Events

You can generate a custom feed of events based on a number of criteria and filters:

  • Department
  • Audience
  • Campus
  • Event type
  • Tag or keyword

Tips:

  • Tags are visible to the public.
  • Keywords are hidden and used only for filtering.
  • To create a new tag (for cross-department filtering), submit a request here. Tags must be unique.
