feed events from json data instead of wordpress events

Hello Ashan,

we have bought EventON as it provides a really beautifully crafted Events Page with a lot of options.
Really love it!

I’m getting back to you as we plan to only use the frontend and fill the event details from a third party tool.
I know that you provide addons to import csv or ics data into the events list. Nevertheless the event data are maintained within WordPress after import. This is not what we want.
Our third party application provides all events as json data and we need to connect to that source.
There’s an addon providing a json output of the WordPress maintained events. We just need it other way round.

Now my question is: if we provide a json data in the exact way your json output looks like (from the addon), is there a way to connect EventON to this input?
I understand that there may not be any such option currently, but I’m wondering whether you’d be able to provide an addon to do so.
As an alternative I would figure out to create such an addon by ourselves – in that case, if you could provide a hint, how and where to start (entry point) that would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Marc Andersohn

      Hello,

      Please check Event API add-on: https://www.myeventon.com/addons/event-api/. It can output events as JSON: https://dev2.myeventon.com/wp-json/eventon/events

      Try on https://dev.myeventon.com/wp-admin/

      Hi,

      thanks for your quick feedback!

      Unfortunately this is not what I was looking for.

      The Event API does OUTPUT events as JSON.

      What I am looking for is a way to INPUT event data from a third party JSON and display in the EventON Calendar.
