How to grab public events attached to organizers rather than venues?
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Let's imagine I want to collect public Facebook events located in St Barthelemy island. I could use the following parameter: lat=17.89618; lon=-62.84978; distance=30000
I noticed that this Facebook event will not be collected. This event references accurately the location (https://www.facebook.com/EdenRockStBarths/) but strangely, this event is not listed in this venue (https://www.facebook.com/pg/EdenRockStBarths/events/) while it is listed in the organizer events page (https://www.facebook.com/pg/grantcardonefan/events/). Is it the reason why your service does not collect it?
Is this also a limitation of your service? Do you know how to also collect those events? Or is it just that the Facebook graph is not complete when doing backlinks?
It's not querying events by organizers, but from venues/places. The process is explained at https://github.com/tobilg/facebook-events-by-location/blob/master/README.md#basics
Right, I got this. But this event is taking place to a venue/place which is an object in the Facebook graph.
The Graph API Explorer doesn't show any events in October for the respective place:
{
"data": [
]
}As outlined, the service first queries the places, and then the events of these places. There's nothing else that can be done here.
