Add an event programatically?

[Michael Friedlander]

Because I need to restrict user input to specific date ranges or to selection from items within various lists, I’ve written forms for my users to schedule a variety of events, and the input goes into my own tables within the WP database. After my user schedules their event, the program also adds the needed records to my current calendar solution, so the event appears within both my own programs and in the calendar. Can I add events in this same way? Is there an API that would allow me to add, edit and delete events?

Good evening Michael and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

Can I add events in this same way? Is there an API that would allow me to add, edit and delete events?

Based on this specific set of needs, I believe your best bet is to use a third-party plugin such as wp all import (perhaps the Pro version depending on your needs): https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-all-import/

I have personally used it on a few projects to create/update events.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
