How to return/filter events via rest api

[Joel]

Hello,

I’m trying to filter events via the Events Calendar REST API and have not found any success. I am able to filter events with queires that contain single IDs but not multiple IDs. In its current version, is it possible to filter results from multiple IDs of anything – posts, categories, organizer, etc?

Does work with single
/wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events?categories=2

Do not work with multiple:
/wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events/4,6
/wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events?organizer=7,14
/wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events/?filter[organizer]=7,14

Thanks,
Joel

Hi, Joel. Thanks for your detailed request.

You can use /wp-json/tribe/events/v1/doc for self-documentation.

It looks like you’ll need to pass an array of category slugs or IDs to “categories”

Please give that a try and let me know how it goes for you.

Thanks for your direction Cliff. I was able to filter/return events by passing an array of categories:
/wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events?categories[]=5&categories[]=3

From the docs, it doesn’t look like you are able to pass an array of organizers. I’m able to filter events via a single organizer: /wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events?organizer=7

Is extending this functionality to accept an array of organizers set for a future release?

Thanks!

It wasn’t on our internal to-do list as far as I could tell so I filed a feature request internally to add “array” querying for both Organizers and Venues.

Hopefully they’ll get around to it eventually, but I can’t promise if/when that might be.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic at this time.

Thanks!

You’re welcome. And thanks to you for your detailed reports and requests!
