Hi all,

I'm hitting the following API endpoint

https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/?token=OAuthToken&location.address=UK&sort_by=distance

Hi,

I have two problems:

1) I want to search the events based on particular city or country like London or UK. How can i achieve that?

2) I want to see the latitude/longitude info in the response of all events. Because i want to merge the response with my own list of events and sort them all based on distance. Please help me with that.

Thanks

Barrett Cook

1) Try using the location.address and location.within parameters on /events/search. Or you can use a viewport to specify a bounding box for the area you'd like to search.

https://www.eventbrite.com/developer/v3/endpoints/events/#ebapi-get-events-search

2) The Venue expansion (&expand=venue) currently returns a lat/lon, but those fields have been deprecated. https://www.eventbrite.com/developer/v3/response_formats/venue/#ebapi-std:format-venue

Hi Barrett,

Thanks for replying. I want to see all the events in Pakistan and i'm hitting the following endpoint:

https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/?token=TOKEN&location.address=pakistan&expand=venue

It also shows the events from India i.e.,

Please help.

Looks like those are the same results are returned by the regular search, not just over the API: https://www.eventbrite.com/d/pakistan/events/

Unfortunately, country boundaries are difficult. The search team is aware of this problem. Currently, the way search currently works is one-of:

1. Search for an address (in this case: "Pakistan") which returns a lat/lon for the center location. We then expand by radius to include more events.

or

2. Search by bounding box. Due to the shape of Pakistan, this would include almost all of Afghanistan and north-western India.
https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/?location.viewport.northeast.latitude=37.08&location.viewport.northeast.longitude=77.12&location.viewport.southwest.latitude=23.54&location.viewport.southwest.longitude=60.87&token=TOKEN&expand=venue

In the future, we hope to support Geo Shapes for more accurate definitions of country boundaries. For now, it might be easier to piece together the list by conducting a search surrounding major cities: https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/?location.address=karachi&token=TOKEN&expand=venue

Hope that helps.

Hi Barrett,

I have been using your info above to get information on events within certain areas. I have a few queries:

1. Is it possible to limit the amount of fields you get back from one of these searches?

2. Is there a library to look up category ids, subcategory ids etc?

I am looking to bring location of events into a Geographical Information Systems for analysis.

Regards

Finbar

1. Unfortunately, not at this time.

2. For category ids, checkout the docs here: https://www.eventbrite.com/developer/v3/endpoints/categories/

Barrett,

Thanks for the quick response. I am using the link below to spit out events, the only thing missing is the latitude and longitude points for each event.

Is there a way to get these?
