Search for Facebook public events

Question

from the facebook documentation I know that

https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=conference&type=event

will perform a search of the word "conference" in the name and description of all public events.

is it possible to search for ALL the events without specifying the "query" parameter? Basically I don't want to limit the search to a keyword, I want to get ALL the public events (of course I will limit the research using the location field).

Also is there any list of possible categories I can use for searching between events? Using query sets a limitation in particular for the language (in different countries I have to search for different keywords,instead with a category I would fix this problem).

thanks a lot

You need to specify a q (query) parameter, but you can use the fields parameter to specify the fields in which you're searching. You may be able to achieve what you're trying to do by using this parameter.
