I have defined a custom field named OnlineURL for an event as shown in the picture.

Custom Field screenshot

How do I obtain this using the API? I am able to get many Event fields, but cannot figure out where this field value is stored.

Hi there,

Which API are you referring to? REST API?

If so you’ll need to send an authenticated request to:

/wp-json/ee/v4.8.36/events/{event_id}/post_metas

Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, the REST API.

Is there an easy guide to REST API authentication?

Using PHP?

You send an additional ‘Authorization’ with the username:password base64 encoded like so:

'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( 'username:password' )

There some details here:
