Endpoint 'v3/users/me/events/?token=MYTOKEN' return 404

[Alex Yin]

Hey guys!

This endpoint 'https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/users/me/events/?token=MYTOKEN' doesn't work any more, although it's listed in the doc(see Example 2): https://www.eventbrite.com.au/platform/docs/api-explorer

This endpoint did work fine before. Anyway, here is the response:

RESPONSEHTTP 404 NOT FOUND

• Access-Control-Max-Age: 600
• Vary: Accept
• X-Rate-Limit: token:xxxxxxxxxxx 2/2000 reset=3571s, key:xxxxxxxxxxx 2/2000 reset=3571s
• Allow: GET, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS
• Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
• Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization, Content-Type, Eventbrite-API-Waypoint-Token, Eventbrite-API-Deprecated-Features
• Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

{ "status_code": 404, "error_description": "The user_id you requested does not exist.", "error": "NOT_FOUND" }

Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Hey all,

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. The API explorer document describes "Example 2: Exploring the users/me/owned_events Endpoint", but then instructs us to "point your browser to https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/users/me/events/?token=MYTOKEN" 

So I'm not sure whether to use owned_events or just events. Either way, a 404 is returned with the error description, "The user_id you requested does not exist".

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

It looks like this endpoint has been deprecated. You have to find your organisation_ids to get events:
https://www.eventbrite.com/platform/docs/organizations

In my case, I use https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/users/me/organizations/?token=REDACTED to fetch my organisation details

And then https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/organizations/ORGANISATION_ID/events/?status=live&token=REDACTED

to fetch the live events owned by my organisation.

Yeah, but what if you want to find events owned by neighboring organizations?

Then you probably wouldn't have been using the "users/me/events" endpoint in the first place.

Hi Greg,

That endpoint has been deprecated and it looks like our docs haven't fully been updated to reflect that yet.

Since events are now owned by Organizations rather than users, you need to retrieve events based on org_id from '/organizations/:id/events' rather than the '/users/me/owned_events' endpoint
