Even replacing the "timeRemaining", "secsSinceEvent" and similar parameters with solid timestamps would simplify detection of duplicates.

I would agree this is a way to go, the current data is a bit lacking for tools like this, but I am not going to let that hold up work. If activity increases, it will prove the necessity for such changes on the API.
