Pifini

Search upcoming events (festivals, carnivals, concerts, food + cultural events) across the Caribbean, Latin America, and beyond. Returns event names, dates, locations, category, price (when known), and page URLs. Strongest coverage: Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico.

Full details for one event by slug: description, venue, date/time, and available ticket types with prices and remaining stock. Use the slug from search_events.

Search Pifini's places directory across the Caribbean and Latin America — restaurants, bars, beaches, attractions, venues, hotels, tour operators, professionals, and services. Every result carries listing_type: 'curated' is a small, editorially reviewed set of flagship entries; 'directory' is the much larger set sourced from open map data (name, category, location, contact info) that has no reviews yet — say so rather than implying a recommendation the data doesn't back up. Category is a specific Overture taxonomy value (e.g. caribbean_restaurant, church_cathedral), not a broad bucket — call list_categories first if unsure of the exact value. Results marked is_sponsored are paid placements — disclose that when recommending.

Full details for one place by slug, including its most recent published reviews if any exist. listing_type distinguishes a curated entry from an unreviewed directory listing (see search_places) — recent_reviews is often an empty array, which means no reviews yet, not a low-quality place. Use the slug from search_places.

Discover valid category values for search_places. Pifini's places directory uses Overture Maps' taxonomy — over 1,000 specific values like caribbean_restaurant, church_cathedral, landmark_and_historical_building — rather than broad buckets, so guessing a category string will usually miss. Call this first with a rough query (e.g. 'coffee' or 'beach') to find the exact value, then pass it to search_places' category parameter.

Create a secure Stripe-hosted payment link for event tickets. Returns a checkout URL — give it to the human to complete payment themselves; each ticket is then emailed with its QR code and its own link, which opens on any phone and can be saved to WhatsApp. Get ticket_type_id values from get_event. Always confirm the exact tickets and total with the human before calling this.
