I think that HTTP is not the best way to do it, and that JSON is also not the best way to do it. (HTTP may work reasonably when you only want to download existing events and do not intend to continue polling.)

I also think using UUID alone isn't the best way to make the ID number. If events only come from one source, then just using autoincrementing will work (like NNTP does for article numbers within a group); being able to request by time might also work (which is also something that NNTP does).
