Once we started updating the REST API, we just couldn’t stop. Here’s a list of what’s new as of last night:

• New API Methods:
  • venue_events: list events occuring at a venue
  • venue_tags: list tags associated with a venue
  • tag_events: list events associated with a tag
  • tag_by_name: retrieve tag information by tag name
  • user_add_event: add an event to a user calendar
  • user_remove_event: remove an event from a user calendar
  • event_add_tag: add a tag to an event
  • event_remove_tag: remove a tag from an event
  • venue_delete: delete a venue and all events occuring at the venue
• New options for constraining event lists by date and time. All the methods that return event lists (e.g., group_events, venue_events, tag_events and user_events) support the sd and ed parameters for constraining the returns list to events that occur within a specific date range.
• New Message option for the event_cancel and event_delete methods. When cancelling or deleting and event, this option allows you to send an arbitrary text message to users that have added this event to their calendar.
• The RSS output format includes the xCal extensions for specifying date and time location for events and venues. There’s an example on this page.

Read the API documentation for details on all the new methods and parameters.
