Is there some way to know that an event is a featured event? I'm syndicating my groups events externally and want to put the featured events at the top.... seems like a common use case but I don't see any field indicating an event is a featured event.

Hi,

Thanks for this suggestion. It sounds like it would be useful to lots of apps. I will open a ticket for this and post back here when it's live.

You should now be able to get a "featured" field on any of the v2 event api response by supplying the "fields" request parameter set to "featured".  This should return true of false

See the updated docs for more information.

This is a very useful addition to the API. Thanks
