Enhacement requests

Pablo Roca — 2012-04-29T15:25:38

Hi,

I want to suggest some Enhacement Requests, they are:

1. API Method /venues/search - add nearest order. 
It would be cool if we sent the GPS position and know
which venues are closer.

2. get favourite venues from an user

3. Search by added properties or tags

Java API - Event search urls

Nipun — 2012-03-14T22:33:55

Folks,

How do I get the url to a event using the Java api. When i make the java api call to search for events, the result's event list does not contain a URL field.
I am looking at the com.evdb.javaapi.data.Event class, and don't see the url in it - there is a reference to "Link" which is returned empty...

I do see the url in the XML payload as returned by the following call:

http://api.eventful.com/rest/events/search?app_key=<mykey>&category=sports&keywords=tennis&location=San+Jose&date=This+Week&within=50
….

<event id="E0-001-040902340-9< at >2012031513">
<title>Men's Tennis vs. Minnesota</title>
<url>http://eventful.com/berkeley/events/mens-tennis-vs-minnesota-/E0-001-040902340-9< at >2012031513?utm_source=apis&utm_medium=apim&utm_campaign=apic</url>

Search result order

Eri Izawa — 2012-03-14T20:20:13

Hello,
We're running queries based on lat/long like the following:

*
http://api.evdb.com/json/events/search?app_key=xxxxxx&within=4.577513&units=kilometers&location=37.773598,-122.411427&page_size=30&date=Mar&category=&sort_order=popularity
*
*
*
For the moment, we're pulling just the first page, but we've noticed that
the search results often change.
If I do 3 queries, odds are two of them will have different items if I do a
diff between the outputs.

I've seen this with default sort_order and sort_order=popularity (as above).

Thoughts/suggestions?
Eri

schemas, json to java

Mike Henry — 2012-02-19T14:37:33

Is there some sort of schema for the json and xml returned from a search so I can map the data? Does anyone have a suggestion on a tool to convert the json or xml to Java Objects?
Thanks
Mike

Razi Mohiuddin — 2012-02-03T20:22:00

Folks,

Couple of quick questions - I see the Java API's last release date was in 2007.  Is this the most current API?

Also, is there a simple example that shows how a search is performed using the API.  I see all the classes and methods are documented, but I do not see what are the few lines of code to initiate these requests and get results.  Any sample would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Razi

Re: Services/Eventful.php Search Results

John Tantalo — 2011-12-20T18:02:12

Chris,

I could not reproduce your issue.

I used this test script,


I ran this script on a fresh install of Services_Eventful, with a valid key, and I got this output,



Can you try this script on your setup and see what it prints?

Services/Eventful.php Search Results

Chris Rankin — 2011-12-20T10:39:08

Hi guys,

Maybe I'm missing something obvious but when making searches from my PHP
script to events. Only 1 result is being returned. I've tried searching by
zipcode and radius, etc, etc. It says there's 3000+ matches but only every
returns one event. And if you refresh the page you'll notice it's often a
different event each time. What am I missing here? Below is the code in
question. And you can see the actual page results here:
http://www.nashvilleluxurylimos.com/events.php

<?php
require 'Services/Eventful.php';

    <?php
        // Enter your application key here. (See
http://api.eventful.com/keys/)
        $app_key = 'xxxxxxxxx'; # Don't worry the actual API key is there
in the script
        $ev = new Services_Eventful($app_key);

        $event = $ev->call('events/search', array("date" => "Future",
"location" => "Nashville, TN"));

        if ( PEAR::isError($event) )
        {
            print("An error occurred: " . $event->getMessage() . "\n");
            print_r( $ev );
        }

withdrawing venues

Tekin Suleyman — 2011-07-11T14:54:26

Hi.

Just been working with the methods for managing venues and hit a snag - the venues/withdraw method does not work for venues I have created - I get a not authorised response, even though I am using the same user authentication : "User 'xxxxx' does not have permission to withdraw venue 'VENUE_ID'."

An example venue I just created: V0-001-005325062-8

cross protocol queries

Orry Rotem — 2011-07-08T18:52:17

Hi,

How are cross protocol calls handled? The evdb api calls are via http and it breaks if I host the script on page accessed via https, as expected, and the API calls don't work if I change them to https... i.e. https://api.evdb.com/json....

Thanks,

Re: Same Events - Salem,OR and Winston-Salem, NC

Chris Radcliff — 2011-07-01T19:45:04

Hi Nic,

Thanks for bring this to our attention. Looks like there was a problem parsing the location. We've fixed it, so the same call returns the right city now:

http://api.eventful.com/rest/events/search?app_key=test_key&location=Salem,%20OR&&c=events&date=This+Weekend&sort_order=Popularity&page_size=20

Looks like your site is getting the right events now, too. Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,
~chris

Orry — 2011-07-01T14:31:11

Hi,

I am having some grief retrieving the list of categories.
 
I receive an authentication validation "A valid application key is required" 
when i make a call to /categories/list?app_key=[my valid app key] using 
the JavaScript API.

I get the same results when i try explicitly supplying the app_key 
or by passing it in the arguments.

Snip:

EVDB.API.call("/categories/list?", { app_key: "[my definitely valid app key]" }, 
function (results) {
                if (results.string !== "Authentication Error") {
                    // do something interesting 
                } else {
                    alert(results.description);
                }
            });
        }


Any help would be much appreciated

Sometimes email aliases, etc can mess things up for majordomo; also try
explicitly stating the subscribed address;

ie.
*unsubscribe **listname address*

eg.
