REST API Not Working For Events With Status Pending (or any other status)

[sngsheftel]

swagger docs indicate that a status query param can be added to the get /wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events request to filter the status of the events coming back however when i send a get request (both through swagger editor and via a browser) I get the following response:

{“code”:”rest_invalid_param”,”message”:”Invalid parameter(s): status”,”data”:{“status”:400,”params”:{“status”:”Invalid parameter.”}}}

moreover, when I just send a get request to /events i only get back published events.

How can the rest api be used to get ALL events both published and unpublished? Also, it would be helpful if you documented the status strings that can be used.

One idea that came up:

Are you sending authenticated requests, and does the level/role/caps of the user account you are authenticating with allow checking post staus? Just the same as a logged out user shouldn’t be able to access drafts or pending posts, nor can an API request do this.

Here’s a nice article where you can learn more about authentication:

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!
