# Event by Slug

> Retrieve an event using its slug via gamma.events.getEventBySlug.

`client.gamma.events.getEventBySlug` fetches the same rich event payload as `getEventById`, using the
human-readable slug.

## Request

```ts theme={null}
const event = await client.gamma.events.getEventBySlug(slug, params);
```

### Parameters

| Name               | Type      | Required | Notes                                                                |
| ------------------ | --------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `slug`             | `string`  | ✅        | Event slug (e.g., `"chile-presidential-election-1st-round-winner"`). |
| `include_chat`     | `boolean` |          | Include chat metadata.                                               |
| `include_template` | `boolean` |          | Include template metadata.                                           |

## Response

A single `Event` object identical to [`Event by ID`](/gamma/events-by-id).

## Usage example

```ts theme={null}
const event = await client.gamma.events.getEventBySlug(
  "chile-presidential-election-1st-round-winner",
  { include_chat: true },
);

console.log(event.title);
```

## Failure modes

* `slug` must be a non-empty string.
