Eventbrite Tags

Question

The EventBrite API is great, but there are some really simple features that will make it much better. In particular, does anyone know a way to update the event tag property (or set it on a new event) - I do not see it in the API method http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/events/event_update/ but'tags "is available in the answer is from get_event, so I just missed something.

If it just wasn't shown through event_update, it would be fantastic to implement this.

Answer 1

Great question. Eventbrite events, which were organized around the "tags" - users could mark any events for search and detection.

This functionality was available through our web platform and API, but has since been removed. Thus, regardless of how users create new events (web interface or API), we removed the ability to add tags.

The event_get method ( http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/events/event_get/ ) still provides information about the tag when it is available ... and for specific (less interesting) inherited reasons, there are still quite a lot events that will still have the data for this tag, so we will continue to support it in our API.

If you use the tag function to organize your own events, some of our users actually put the tag information in the event descriptions as HTML comments using / event _update. This may not be appropriate for your case, but some people have cracked it to suit their needs.

Hope this helps!
