New releases to Eventbrite's API - Event Search, Contact Lists, bug fixes,

[Mitch Colleran]

Greetings! 

We've been working hard to implement new endpoints to the new API. 

• Event Search
  
• Description: Searching for public events across Eventbrite's entire directory (regardless of user) is one of the most popular use cases of our API, so we're happy to now support this in V3! 
• Documentation: http://developer.eventbrite.com/docs/event-search/
• Contact Lists
• Description: Some Eventbrite users will manage Contact lists within Eventbrite -- this endpoint now allows developers to GET and POST to contact lists on behalf of an authenticated user. 
• Documentation: For showing a user's contact lists (http://developer.eventbrite.com/docs/contact-lists/) and for exploring a specific contact list (http://developer.eventbrite.com/docs/contact-list-details/).
• Event Attendee Details: 
• Description: Some event organizers will want to retrieve the details on a specific Attendee, without having to poll and parse through a long list and pages. This endpoint allows access to a specific Attendees information. 
• Documentation: http://developer.eventbrite.com/docs/event-attendees-details/
• Event Categories: 
• Description: At Eventbrite, we've learned a lot about how be create and search for events -- so we've come up with an event categorization taxonomy to match! 
• Documentation: http://developer.eventbrite.com/docs/event-categories/
• Enhancements: 
• Displaying all collected Attendee Info: Now showing all collected Attendee information in Event Attendees (previously wouldn't display less popular questions like 'suffix', 'prefix', etc.)
• Added a 'changed_since' parameter to Event Attendees: We now allow for a parameter to be passed into Event Attendees that will allow you to search for Attendees that have been changed since a certain time/date. 

While we're thrilled to deliver on some of these features, we're definitely not slowing down! In the coming quarter, we're working on the following: 

• A new Partner Directory: For the applications that choose to market to our users, we'll be updating the design/function of our existing Partner Directory, and allowing Developers to create and control their own listing. 
• Notifications/Webhooks: We'll be adding the ability for developers to set up notifications, so that developers don't have to poll the Eventbrite API and check for differences at small intervals. 
• Event Creation: We'll be wrapping up feature parity between our old API and new API by adding the functionality to create Events, Ticket Types, Venues, and Organizers. 

Stay tuned, and we look forward to working with you! 

Cheers!
