Discussion list for developers using the EVDB API

Java example?

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

Services/Eventful.php Search Results

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 );

}

foreach( $event->events as $item )

{

echo "<div class='item'>";

echo "<h4><a href='", html_entity_decode($item->event->url), "' target='_blank'>", html_entity_decode($item->event->title), "</a></h4>";

echo "<div class='item-body'>";

echo html_entity_decode($item->event->description);

echo "</div>";

echo "<div class='clear'></div>";

echo "</div>";

}

?>

Subject: problem w Larkspur, CA?

Hi - I've added lots of venues and keep getting this error with a venue in Larkspur, CA. Just wondering if there was a database error somewhere. It's a city, right? I'm pretty sure I've been there, or where I think it should be.

Nancy

Create new Eventful venue

name="name" value="Tamalpais Adult School"
"address" value="375 Doherty Drive"
"city" value="Larkspur"
"region" value="CA"
"postal_code" value="93949"
"country" value="United States"
"venue_type" value="University"
"app_key" value="xxx"
"user" value="FullCalendar"
"user_key" value="xxx"

error:
Invalid parameter
Can't add a venue in the unknown city 'Larkspur, CA' in the country 'United States'.

withdrawing venues

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

Any ideas?

cross protocol queries

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,

Orry

Get all categories

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

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

I was just notified by a site user that the events posted for Salem, OR are from Winston-Salem, NC. Here is the API call for Salem, OR, but showing Winston-Salem, NC.

&location=Salem+OR&c=events&date=This+Weekend&sort_order=Popularity&page_size=20

I believe this is on your end?

Thanks,

Nic Clark
