How to search for Events on the Custom Search API?

Does the custom search API allow for searching for events as you would the events page directly?

For example, this url:

https://www.google.com/search?q=cool+conferences&oq=cool+conferences&ibp=htl;events&rciv=evn#htivrt=events&htidocid=L2F1dGhvcml0eS9ob3Jpem9uL2NsdXN0ZXJlZF9ldmVudC8yMDIwLTA5LTI2fF8xNDQ0MTI3ODg0MDQ1NDM0NjM2Mg%3D%3D&fpstate=tldetail

But within the customsearch/v1 API space.

Not exactly--the customsearch API doesn't support the same specialized search interfaces that google.com does.

You might be able to get close by creating a search engine and adding a Knowledge Graph restrict to search pages on the entity "event" or "conference", or a more specific Knowledge Graph entity if you have one in mind: the more specific the entity, the better the results usually are.
