Events API #6

Open Saakshaat opened 4 years ago

Saakshaat commented 4 years ago

In order to get the events from whatever resources, we need to use an API. Research if there are any existing APIs for getting events from Facebook (or other sources). See if Facebook has any such APIs.

If they do not, we might have to build one from scratch.

Document all your research as comments in this issue.

I have a question with requirement, what kind of online events are we targeting? Like online events related to entertainment?

Saakshaat commented 4 years ago

So essentially we're looking for any sort of online event. It could be a facebook livestream or a discord watchparty. Anything event that's online. It could be an online developer's meetup or a coding bootcamp workshop.

Eventbrite hosts online events like music shows, online courses, meditation and they have an api as well. We can check if we can use it.

Great, we could possible reference their API to create out own.

@sahil211999 could you research Facebook's events API?

These are virtual events though, right? So Facebook/Eventbrite events will probably be more-virtual, now, but.. Would it be possible to use something like Buffer, or the Eventbrite/Facebook API, to create the event in multiple locations with one action?

Are we creating events too? I thought we were just gathering online events
