    Your documentation on the start_date and end_date parameters say:

    "description": "Events should start before the specified date",
"default": "2019-11-02 18:28:47",

    However…the example default is not a valid parameter as it has a space. What type of character is expected where the space is? +, %20, -, something else?

    Hi Shaun,

    Sorry you are having issues with the REST API. This should work as written. What kind of error are you receiving? Can you reply with a screenshot? That will help us troubleshoot the issue.

    Thanks,
    Brendan

    No need for a screenshot, it’s a question of how spaces should be handled
    in the URL for a rest endpoint.

    A standard space is not a valid character for a REST URL, so what character
    should be used in place of the space in “2019-11-02 18:28:47”?

    Hi Shaun,

    My apologies, I see now what you are trying to get from the REST API. We do have a known bug with the REST URL in regards to start/end times. Technically you should be using %20 but the bug is preventing the REST URL to get to that point. This is in the works for a fix and I have added this ticket to get notified as soon as its resolved.

    Thanks,
    Brendan

    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.
