Hi,

There is an api to create price set, is this what you are looking for?

I would suggest you to create an event using the ui, and explore it using the api explorer, what it returns for the various entities is likely similar to what you will need to provide to create.

Not to discourage you, but this is one of the most difficult things to do via the api. You have to use
event api
price_set api (and be sure to set entity_table and entity_id params to link it to your event)
price_field api
price_field_value api

Additionally, you'd need to use the loc_block api to give your an event a location.

BUT there is a much easier way, which I highly encourage if it suits your use case - you can use the api to create an event from a template. So the much simplified steps would be:
-Set up an event template the normal way with the civi ui
-Create your new event with all your params like title, start_date, end_date, etc and additionally pass the param template_id
This will clone the template, including price, location, online-registration, tell-a-friend and other settings, some of which aren't even available to the api.
