Event Calendar Pro: Is content scrapable?

[Mic]

Hi, I am thinking of purchasing Events Calendar Pro but before committing I have a question regarding calendar event information and the (possible) development of mobile apps in the future.

I’m not sure exactly sure how mobile aggregating apps scrape their data or if this is even a concern or an issue that you can answer, but here it goes… Are the data entered into (my) events calendar accessible to developers who might create a mobile app in the future so they can scrape and display the information? I realize that there are a lot of variables, ‘ifs’, and compatibility issues here, but I want to make sure that if in the future someone develops a mobile app that aggregates calendar events from different sites in the future that I won’t be left out in the cold…

Thanks!

Hey Mic,

I asked some of our developers, and they said that all of the event content is stored in WordPress (like other post data) and can be accessed via RSS or another method. In other words, the data is fully accessible to future mobile app developers interested in working with our plugin.

Does that answer your question?

Cheers,
Leah

Yes it does-thank you so much!
