Events API Board
Call the Decentraland Events API to display events that are currently going on. If there are several active at the same time, it will cycle through up to 5 events.
This scene shows you:
- How to call the Decentraland Events API
- How to handle async functions that require waiting for a response
- How to parse a JSON response from an API
- How to parse incoming text fields so that they adjust to line width and a maximum length
- How to use a system to shuffle through different in-world UI screens
- How to use a teleport to travel to other locations in Decentraland
Events that are currently going on have a live field = true, so it's easy to filter through the returned events to only pick those that are live.
The board displays the event's title, screenshot, location, and location name (if applicable). The board also works as a teleport when clicked, taking players to the currently displayed event.

Scene Usage
If there are no live events right now, you won't see the board when running the preview. If there are several live events, they will be shuffled through every few seconds, or you can also click on the dots on the bottom of the board to switch through them manually.
