I had a similar experience with the Eventbrite API. The docs looked well-written, and early usage was promising, but then you have to get almost to the end of your implementation before realizing the missing components. In my case, EB allows what's called a "repeating event", or an event that occurs on multiple dates. However, their response JSON doesn't have anything like `{times: []}`, rather it's just `{start: {}, end: {}}`, so you never have a set of the dates. There _is_ a 'repeats: <boolean>' property in the response, but that is permanently set to false, and if you have a repeating date it appears as a single-date event where the start and end times are for the next upcoming date. I would have been better off if they didn't supply that doc at all. If I just fumbled my way through an undocumented pile of service endpoints, I'd have realized its limits much sooner. The doc gave me the false-confidence to build my application based on behaviours in their API which aren't actually implemented. |
