REST API?

[Matt Rodriguez]

I would like to know if the REST API is part of the free version (or paid Pro version) of the plugin. The reason for my inquiry is that we have the free version plugin right now, but this does not support the REST API. We would like to syndicate the event calendar using WordPress’s new REST API to a bunch of our affiliate websites. We’d like for there to be one “master calendar” by which all of our affiliates can pull from through the WordPress REST API.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for taking the time to reach out! While full REST API support has not yet been implemented for any of our plugins, including Events Calendar PRO, a number of read-only capabilities are currently available as part of The Events Calendar and our Event Aggregator tool. You can continue to track the progress of this feature in development here on our UserVoice forum:

If you’re interested in establishing your site as a master calendar and allowing other calendars to import events to their own sites, you can already achieve this using the Other URL import type in Event Aggregator. For more information on importing events to and from sites using The Events Calendar, check out our Knowledgebase article on the subject:

I hope that helps to get you started here! 🙂 Thanks again, and let us know if you should have any other questions!

Just posting a quick update that we’ve just launched The Events Calendar – Full REST Support. You can read the release notes at https://theeventscalendar.com/release-events-calendar-full-rest-support/.

We also published a helpful guide: Introduction to The Events Calendar REST API https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/introduction-events-calendar-rest-api/ .

We’re excited to provide this functionality for you.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
The Events Calendar Support Team
