Default: now. The words now, today, tonight, tomorrow and this weekend are also accepted and resolved in the caller's timezone. For 'tonight' pass now.

OMIT this field to let the server pick a density-aware default: 5mi in dense metros (Chicago, NYC), 15mi suburban, 25mi rural.

Passing 15 there pulls events from 8-10 miles away in other neighborhoods, which is worse than the density-aware default.\n\nRange 0.5 to 500. An out-of-range value FAILS the entire call and returns zero events — it is not clamped — so omit the field rather than guessing.

Default true preserves broad discovery; positive price bounds may then include unknown prices, which must be labeled unverified.
