How do I set the event vanity_url via the API?

[Ian Cole]

When I try to post an update to the vanity_url field, I receive an ARGUMENTS_ERROR

'There are errors with your arguments: event.vanity_url - Unknown parameter'

Is it possible to set the vanity URL via the API?

Thanks, Ian

Hi Ian,

Can you share the full request and response? (headers, body, ect)

Thanks

I've encountered the same issue while trying to update the vanity_url of an event via the Eventbrite API. After diving into the API documentation and running some tests, it appears that the API returns a 400 Bad Request error with the message "Unknown parameter" when trying to update the vanity_url.

Here's the error response I received:

jsonCopy code

{ "status_code": 400, "error_description": "There are errors with your arguments: vanity_url - Unknown parameter", "error": "ARGUMENTS_ERROR" }

Interestingly, the API documentation doesn't explicitly mention how to set or update the vanity_url, which leads me to believe that this attribute might not be directly editable via the API.

Given this, it seems we might have to manually set the vanity_url through the Eventbrite dashboard, as the API doesn't appear to support this feature.

If anyone has found a workaround or has more information on this, it would be great to hear your insights.
