Retrieves the event with the given id. By default the response includes the event’s own scalar fields plus the foreign-key ids for related objects (bookingId, locationId, eventBriefId). Relations are inlined only when requested via expand[]. Pass one or more expand[] query parameters to inline related objects. On this endpoint, paths are written as-is — no prefix. 
curl "https://app.flashquotes.com/api/events/evt_8K3aN1qV2x?expand[]=booking.lead&expand[]=services" \
  -H "x-api-key: $FLASHQUOTES_API_KEY"
Allow-listed expand paths:
PathAdds
locationThe event’s location object
servicesThe event’s services array
staffThe event’s staff array
addonsThe event’s addons array
resourcesThe event’s resources array
bookingThe parent booking object
booking.leadlead inside booking (auto-promotes booking)
booking.eventTypeeventType inside booking (auto-promotes booking)
booking.invoicesinvoices array inside booking (auto-promotes booking)
Requesting any nested booking.* path automatically expands booking itself — you do not need to list booking separately.

Expanded response

With expand[]=booking.lead&expand[]=booking.invoices, the response inlines the nested objects under booking:
