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?

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
