Retrieving events via REST API

[J Huffman]

Hello,

Is there a REST API available for retrieving a list of our events? I’ve installed the WP REST API plugin and am trying to retrieve events with the /wp-json/wp/v2/posts?post_type=tribe_events query but it doesn’t return events. Is there a different way to go about this?

Thanks,
Lee

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins.

We do not support the REST API so there is no way to access the events custom post type without adding coding to your site to do it.

It is something we are interested in adding support for now that part of the API is going to be included in WordPress 4.4.

I do not have a timeline when that support might happen and it will not be included in our next release as that coding is already finalized and in testing.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Oof. That’s a pretty big bummer. Guess I’ll be forced to hack around this.

Sorry to bum you out. Once it is fully part of core we can begin supporting it.

Since this is marked resolved I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks
