Create events with categories via REST API?

Hi @ssvtom,

You can find the ones we support directly via wp-json/tribe/events/v1/doc. Also here is our Introduction to The Events Calendar REST API.

I hope this helps!

Hi @jaimemarchwinski,

thanks for pointing me to the doc urls. I was well aware of them. It appears strange to me, that via the REST API you can create tags, organizers and venues and assign them to events, but you can only create categories, but NOT assign them to an event.

So I understand that correctly: this is not just a doc bug, but a general restriction with the current version of the REST API design, right? And if so, any idea if/when this might be addded to the POST /events/{id} service?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi @ssvtom,

Yes you are correct, unfortunately this feature is not currently available via the REST API.

I do not have an ETA for when this will be added, however you are welcome to vote on this idea on our Feature Requests page, as we implement ideas based on customer feedback:
