Looking for information on how I can load up an Event Espresso event object or just directly get the categories that have been assigned to an Event specified by its EVT_ID (post_id)

Sorry let me try go clarify.
I am trying to get the list of categories assigned to events through a custom wordpress plugin. I have it setup so I have the post_id or EVT_ID of the event I am looking for, but I am not sure how to get the categories.

Sorry, figured it out.
get_the_terms($post->ID, 'espresso_event_categories');

Hi there,
The above is correct and I’m glad you’ve found a solution.
To explain the code above a little, EE event categories are terms within custom taxonomy called espresso_event_categories.
If you haven’t doe so already I highly recommend taking a look at the documentation for our model system here:
https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/tree/master/docs/G–Model-System
For the above your single line is fine, using the models gives you quick and easy access to all of EE’s data (and related object data) and once you understand how they work you can grab pretty much any data you would need.
To give an example:
$event = EEH_Event_View::get_event($post_id);
if($event instanceof EE_Event) {
$categories = $event->get_all_event_categories();
}
That’s not all that much different from what you have already, but as you need more info for the Event, that EE_Event object becomes much more useful to you.
