      That looks spot on. I think I’ll be adding that module later.
      Requesting an API key, what do you put in the “Application URL” box etc

                Tried to get this working, only showing “Upcoming Events…” text on the mirror.

                This is my config, can you see why it might not be loading any events?

                 {
                                    module: 'MMM-Events',
                                    position: 'bottom_left',
                                    config: {
                                        city: "Leamington Spa, United Kingdom",            // Your City
                                        eventType: "music, comedy, performing_arts, sports, food, food_beer, outdoors_recreation",                 // Choose from Events List below
                                        when: "Future",                 // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months by name, e.g. "October"
                                        mode: "noFrame",                   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
                                        apikey: "verified_api",
                                        rotateInterval: 2 * 60 * 1000,     // New Event Appears every 2 minutes
                                        useHeader: false,                  // Set to true if you want a header
                                        header: "",
                                        animationSpeed: 3000,              // Event fades in and out
                                        picture: true,                     // true, false = no image
                                    }
                ...

                                          header: "",
                                          animationSpeed: 3000,              // Event fades in and out
                                          picture: true,                     // true, false = no image
                                      }
                  		},
                  

                  This will work. More info to follow shortly . . .

                    You can only choose one eventType at a time. I’ll look into multiple entries when I have the time to do so. With Leamington as your city, there is limited data from the API, especially the pictures. If you choose a larger city nearby, say Birmingham, you will have much better results, as the data is more prevalent.

                    Leamington does return events, but if you don’t like the fallback picture appearing so often (it does that when the API returns no picture) you can choose picture: false, in the config.

                    Please let me know how you like the module.

                        As you can see, the data from the API for Leamington uses the fallback picture quite often
