Trouble getting tribe_rest_single_event_data filter to do anything

[Canton]

Hello,
Following the documentation, I’m trying to add my custom fields to the output I get from the REST API, e.g. via

http://127.0.0.1:8060/wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events

I don’t think my filter is firing off.

As a test, I added this to my functions.php file:

add_filter( ‘tribe_rest_single_event_data’, ‘raccoon_add_suspect_level’ );

function raccoon_add_suspect_level( array $event_data ) {
exit;
}

You would think this would break my REST API results, but they’re still coming back fine.
Am I not invoking this filter correctly? Or does this filter not impact the output from /wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events ?

I solved this. The REST documentation only mentions tribe_rest_single_event_data, which is only good for modifying the output from getting the output from a single event.

I dug through the source code and discovered the tribe_rest_event_data filter, which is what modifies the output of the more general /wp-json/tribe/events/v1/events endpoint.

May I recommend that the documentation be updated to include a list of all the available filters? (Or at least more than just the single filter?)

For anyone who’s looking for a way to add the custom fields to the multi-event REST output, here’s sample code for your functions.php file. Note the commented out line that lets you discover what mysterious _ecp_custom_x meta name was assigned for each of your custom fields.

add_filter( ‘tribe_rest_event_data’, ‘api_add_custom_values_all’ );

function api_add_custom_values_all( array $event_data ) {
// $meta = get_post_meta($event_id); print_r($meta); exit; // use this to figure out custom field names e.g. _ecp_custom_2
$event_id = $event_data[‘id’];
$max_participants = get_post_meta( $event_id, ‘_ecp_custom_3’, true );
$event_data[‘max_participants’] = $max_participants;
$attendance = get_post_meta( $event_id, ‘_ecp_custom_2’, true );
$event_data[‘attendance’] = $attendance;
return $event_data;
}
