I'm using the event_search API method to let my users find their Eventbrite events. I've been getting a lot of complaints from users that their events don't show up. And indeed, it seems that loads of events simply aren't returned by event_search.
One example: http://blogher12.eventbrite.com/. It's a big event, it's starting in a few days time and it has a very distinctive name. It's typically an event that should be very easy to find through event_search.
Yet, it's not anywhere to be seen in event_search's results, no matter what search term I try. You can try yourself at http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/events/event_search/ - enter 'BlogHer' in the 'keywords' field and you'll get a small handful of fringe events that mention "BlogHer" in their description but not the main event.
This is just one of many missing events I've seen in the past few weeks. I initially thought that the EventBrite API perhaps didn't return events for which ticket sales had closed, which would have explained some of the missing events. But I really can't see any reason for BlogHer to be missing in action.
Is there a trick to get event_search to return all events?
The event owner has configured that event to be 'private', which prevents it from being shared via Eventbrite's public search index.
If you think the event should be public (and accessible via the API), feel free to use the 'contact the host' link on the event page to pass your suggestion on to the event organizer.

I am trying to put together analytics on Microsoft teams calls. I would like to get hold times, number of transfers, call time, etc. I came across this call https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/communications/callRecords and it gives me a list of calls with call times, but I can't find a way to get hold times, what line it came in on, etc. Greatly appreciate any pointers.
First of all, this end point https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/communications/callRecords only allows you to query a single call record using its ID, it does not support querying a list of call records for the whole tenant or for a specific user.
The only way currently to find this ID to query the call record is by setting up a web hook to receive change notifications. Refer to the following documentation for more info on change notifications.
To directly address your question, i am not one hundred percent sure but i believe the information you're looking for could be found inside the list of sessions and segments inside a call record.
I'm using Slack API and want to detect an event when user first joins a team but cannot find such type of event in docs.
What should I look for?
I think team_join might be the event you're looking for? Depending on whether you need to respond immediately (and the consequences of missing an event if your bot is offline), you might also consider just calling users.list periodically and comparing to the list of already-seen users.
We are attempting to build free/busy calendars on our website for our Adobe Connect seminar rooms using data provided by the Adobe Connect API.
Our first attempt used sco-session-seminar-list. This returned data in the expected format and seemed to work perfectly. However, upon review we found that many existing sessions were not being returned. Some of the rooms do not have the API user setup as a host or presenter, so I suspect that may be causing a problem, though the user can see these sessions in the admin which indicates to me that they should have access.
We then tried report-bulk-objects. This did return all seminars as desired. However, it hits the reporting database which means that seminars created in the last 24 hours may not appear. Worse, it does not appear that there is any way to filter by room (or parent sco-id) using this method.
I cannot find any other relevant methods in the API documentation that would work better than the above two for our needs. However, it seems like a free/busy calendar should be a relatively common use of the API.
We finally found a non-intuitively named function that worked for this sort of information:
url="http://#AdobeConnectUrl#/api/xml
name="action" value="sco-expanded-contents">
name="sco-id" value="#roomID#">
name="filter-gte-date-begin" value="2015-01-01">
name="filter-lte-date-begin" value="2015-01-08">
This function will also work for a more informational calendar as it returns details other than just the start and end times (such as the seminar name). It pulls all sessions that occur under the sco-id requested, including those in subfolders. It also runs in real-time.
I looked through the questions and found a question somewhat related but it wasn't the same.
If you use the event_list_attendees api call you get back a list of attendees. Those attendees have a modified field. One of the possible parameters in the api call is modified_after.
My question is regarding what triggers the modified field to update? Is this a user profile related field or is it related to this particular event ticket purchase? The api describes these two as the following:
modified_after Return only attendees whose “modified” value is equal
to or after this date/time (e.g., “2013-01-28 00:00:00″)
modified The date and time the event was last modified, in ISO 8601
format (e.g., “2007-12-31 23:59:59″).
Perhaps to explain why I am wondering what triggers modified to update. The goal is to create a small, one day use, mobile website that will allow users to see who has shown up so far for a local event I am working with. I know the api does not directly support this functionality. In my case however "close enough" is "good enough". If someone's ticket being scanned at the door triggers the modified field that would be sufficient.
So, does it?
Great question!
The modified attribute relates only to the individual attendee in the order. So, it won't be triggered by the account wide profile changes for that respective user. However, if a user logs in to Eventbrite and changes the information that specifically relates to this event (example: they change the spelling on their last name for this specific order).
Alternatively, you can actually use /event_list_attendees and set "display_full_barcodes" to "true" to see the status of the barcodes. When the barcode is used, you'll know that someone has been scanned in.
If you come up with a cool hack, then we'd love to check it out!
Hope that helps!
I always get ended events from the eventBrite api when i use the organizer_list_events. I tried with statuses live, started (and both). But that doesn't seem to work.
The event_search api has a "date:Future" possibility. Which is working fine, but then I don't have a possibility to pass the organiserId.
Note, I work on the platform team at Eventbrite
organizer_list_events does not accept a status parameter:
http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/organizers/organizer_list_events/
However, user_list_events does:
http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/users/user_list_events/
In the case that one user has one organizer, these calls should return the same data. It's possible for one user to have multiple organizers, in which case user_list_events could return more data than needed. Still, using the status parameter should cut down on what you're currently receiving.
We're in the process of building a new and much improved API, but I can look at adding a status field to organizer_list_events.
Using the user_list_events I just did this (in c#):
items = XElement.Parse(xmlResult).Elements("event").Where(e=>e.Element("organizer").Element("id").Value == this.OrganiserId.ToString());
