REST API and event categories

[Gilles]

Hello,

I use the following php code to use regular categories with tribe events:

// Make events support regular categories
add_action( 'init', 'my_wpa_categories_for_events' );
function my_wpa_categories_for_events(){
register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'tribe_events' );
}

Now I am trying to query events through the RESP API and filter by category. But the REST API code only uses the tribe_events_cat taxonomy:

protected function parse_categories( WP_REST_Request $request ) {
return $this->parse_terms( $request, 'categories', Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY );
}

It would be nice to either have a filter on Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY in this function, or add regular categories query support some other way.

Thank you

Hello Gilles

Unfortunately at this time we do not support categories with the Rest-API. However, we are planning to expand our support for the Rest-API in future releases. We’d love your input on our suggestion site: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/19364770-make-categories-available-via-the-rest-api.

You can find the ones we support directly via wp-json/tribe/events/v1/doc (which you can in turn plug into http://petstore.swagger.io/.

Is there anything else I can help you with at this time?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
