Search facebook public events by location

it's possible to search only PUBLIC EVENTS by location? I'm trying this:

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=search%3Fq%3D%2A%26type%3Devent%26center%3D43.7228386%2C10.4016888%26distance%3D1000

but I found only my private events (and the results are not near to selected geo-center)..why?..

Places: you can narrow your search to a specific location and distance by adding the center parameter (with latitude and longitude) and an optional distance parameter. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/search/

The location parameters, center and distance, are only useful when searching for places, not events.

If you want to get public events, don't search for *, otherwise Facebook couldn't give back the entire list of its events! You should specify a keyword.

Your query becomes: /search?q=KEYWORD&type=event

The search documentation lists all available search options - searching for events at a location within a radius of a set of coordinates is not one of the available options
