REST API endpoint for venue latitude/longitude

[Kalle]

Hello,

I’m feeding TEC events and venues into my native Android app with WP REST API, however I still have not been able to get the venue lat/lng data as an endpoint.

In otherwords: In PHP, given just venue ID, how can I get venue latitude and longitude?

SOLVED: As I wrote this post, came up with a solution:

My query: http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/tribe_venue?per_page=100&fields=id,title.rendered,city,address,latlng&order=asc

Endpoint code from my theme’s functions.php (code below is just for the lat/lng part of my query):

add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'slug_register_venue_latlng' );

function slug_register_venue_latlng() {
	register_rest_field( 'tribe_venue','latlng',
		array(
			'get_callback'    => 'slug_get_venue_latlng',
			'schema'          => null
		)
	);
}

function slug_get_venue_latlng( $object, $field_name, $request ) {

	$postId = $object[ 'id' ];

        // Check if lat/lng exists for the venue post, otherwise, use zero.
	if ( class_exists( 'Tribe__Events__Pro__Geo_Loc' ) ) {
		$output[ 'lat' ] = (float) get_post_meta( $postId, Tribe__Events__Pro__Geo_Loc::LAT, true );
		$output[ 'lng' ] = (float) get_post_meta( $postId, Tribe__Events__Pro__Geo_Loc::LNG, true );
	} else {
		$output = array(
			'lat' => 0,
			'lng' => 0
		);
	}
	return $output;
}

Thanks for sharing your solution! REST API support is not something we’ve fully rolled out—support should be arriving in version 4.5, if all goes to plan (though this is subject to change).

Best of luck with your current solution in the meantime!

Open a new thread any time if other issues or questions arise.
