One more question. We installed the “advanced custom fields” plug-in. Do you know if the API will return those fields we add via the plug-in?

By googling I found that I can call the API with:

/wp-json/ee/v4.8.29/events?include=Post_Meta

and it will include the custom fields in the original API call and I don’t have to recurse down the tree to get at that data.

However, I am not seeing, for example, the ticket prices coming back. It looks like I would have to do another API call to:

https://{my domain}/wp-json/ee/v4.8.29/events/{event ID}/registrations

Is there another include keyword that will give me that information without having to make a second API call? I’m trying to get all data for an event on 1 call to avoid performance issues.

Thank you!

I have found the taxonomy term IDs for my event. Let’s say I have taxonomy espresso_event_categories with term ID 2. I need to get the friendly name for term ID 2.

Is there an API call that will give me a list of all of the espresso_event_categories with term ids at one time? I want to stuff that away in memory and then whenever I have a term id I can find the friendly name in memory rather than having to run an API call to resolve the term ID to it’s friendly name.

I tried this:

/wp-json/ee/v4.8.29/taxonomies/espresso_event_categories/terms

But it returned no route. I read through all of the API documentation but found nothing on how to get the friendly names for the event category taxonomy IDs.

I need to do the same for the type taxonomy IDs assigned to the event.

Thanks!

Thanks, Josh. I am able to use the API to get a list of all of the terms that are defined. What I am running into a problem with is finding the term ID that is assigned to an event. We have an espresso event category called “Live” which has a term ID value of 13.

I call the API with the following:

/events?include=Post_Meta,Datetime.Ticket.*,Venue.*,Term_Taxonomy.*,Term.*,Term_Relationship.*

There is a term_relationships and a term_taxonomies that is part of the results from the API call. Apparently the term.* doesn’t show in the response.

I need to identify in the response where I can find term id 13 assigned to the specific event. Another event might have term id 12 assigned to it. Some events have multiple term ids assigned to them.

term_relationships has term ids in the results but it might show 5 terms listed where I know there is only one term assigned. So that can’t be the right field to find the term id assigned to an event. Same with term_taxonomies in the results.

I’ve googled and dug through the docs but no luck finding out how I go about getting the term id assigned to a specific event. Appreciate any suggestions you have!

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately that won’t work for my needs.

I am retrieving all events from the current date forward. What I need to do is loop through each event and as part of that process grab the term id(s) assigned to the event. Then using that term id I can look up the friendly name for the term and display it on a page along with the rest of the info for the event.

I need to know how hot get the assigned category term ID(s) from the events data.

I created a current date value string using this format: 2018-12-26T11:44:59

All the examples seem to use that format for the date/time.

I’m trying to query the API where I want to retrieve all events in the future. I’m using this format:

events?where[Datetime.DTT_EVT_start][>=]=#currDate#

and it doesn’t work at all. I’ve tried putting the date in single quotes, I’ve tried various iterations of different syntax, nothing seems to work. I’ve googled and reviewed all the examples I could find.

Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong please?
