Send a &lt;code&gt;POST /create&lt;/code&gt; request, keep the redirect URL, and use that countdown link wherever you need it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This endpoint does not return JSON. It creates the event, then redirects you to the countdown page:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="highlight"&gt;&lt;pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"&gt;&lt;code class="language-text" data-lang="text"&gt;&lt;span style="display:flex;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;/countdown/&amp;lt;event_id&amp;gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;That redirect target is the URL you want to keep.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 id="send-the-api-request"&gt;Send the API request&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Send a JSON body with these fields:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Why countdowns matter in everyday life ⏳</title><link>https://blog.clockitdown.com/posts/0002_countdown_everyday_value/</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2026 12:00:00 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://blog.clockitdown.com/posts/0002_countdown_everyday_value/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;A countdown is not only for launches, weddings, or New Year. It is a simple tool that makes daily life clearer, calmer, and easier to manage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="1-clear-focus-for-important-moments"&gt;1. Clear focus for important moments&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a date is far away, it can feel abstract. A countdown makes it concrete. You can see exactly what is left, and that makes priorities easier to choose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="2-better-planning-with-less-stress"&gt;2. Better planning with less stress&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Big tasks feel heavier when the timeline is unclear. A countdown helps you split the work into smaller steps across real days and hours. It also cuts down last-minute panic because you start earlier.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Welcome to Clock It Down 🎉</title><link>https://blog.clockitdown.com/posts/0001_first_post/</link><pubDate>Sun, 14 Jun 2026 13:15:47 +0200</pubDate><guid>https://blog.clockitdown.com/posts/0001_first_post/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to the first post on our blog. We are glad you are here, and we want to share what &lt;a href="https://clockitdown.com/"&gt;ClockItDown&lt;/a&gt; is all about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Waiting can feel weird. You know the date, you can see it on your calendar, and still the time before it feels blurry. ClockItDown turns that wait into something you can actually see.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="why-count-at-all"&gt;Why count at all?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somewhere between &amp;ldquo;a few weeks&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;it&amp;rsquo;s soon,&amp;rdquo; time gets fuzzy. A countdown makes it clear. You can share one link and show the exact days, hours, minutes, and seconds left. It helps teams stay on deadline, and it also feels better to count down together instead of just knowing a date.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
