The Open Event Server enables organizers to manage events from concerts to conferences and meet-ups.
It offers features for events with several tracks and venues. Event managers can create invitation forms for speakers and build schedules in a drag and drop interface. The event information is stored in a database. The system provides API endpoints to fetch the data, and to modify and update it. Organizers can import and export event data in a standard compressed file format that includes the event data in JSON and binary media files like images and audio.
The Open Event Server exposes a well documented JSON:API Spec Compliant REST API
that can be used by external services (like the Open Event App generators and the frontend) to access & manipulate the data.

A demo version is automatically deployed from our repositories:
master
branch - open-event-api.herokuapp.comdevelopment
branch - open-event-api-dev.herokuapp.comThe Open Event Server can be easily deployed on a variety of platforms. Detailed platform-specific installation instructions have been provided below.
One-click Heroku deployment is also available:
Please get familiar with the components of the project in order to be able to contribute.
Note that open-event-server works with Python 3.8 at the moment.
OAuth is used to get information from Facebook and Google accounts, that enables users to sign in with their respective credentials:
Twitter feed integration is provided in the public event pages.
Required keys can be obtained from https://dev.twitter.com/overview/documentation
It is possible to extend the functionality and offer images from Instagram in the event service.
Required keys can be obtained from https://www.instagram.com/developer/authentication/.
Google maps is used to get information about location (info about country, city, latitude and longitude).
Required keys can be obtained from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key.
Media (like audio, avatars and logos) can be stored either Locally, on Amazon S3 or on Google Storage.
The server can send emails via SMTP or using the sendgrid API.
admin/settings
If the application is deployed on Heroku, we use the heroku API to obtain the latest release and also to display the heroku.
The required token can be obtained from https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/authentication.
For ticket sales the service integrates payment gateways:
Import:
Open Event server supports multiple formats as a valid source for import.
Export:
The event data and the sessions can be exported in various formats.
The system has two kinds of role type.

We use Python 3.8. If your operating system does not provide Python 3.8 out of the
box, it is best installed using pyenv
.
For Mac users, see here for more info.
$ brew install pyenv
$ pyenv init # follow instructions to add run commands to your environment
After editing your environment file, reload your shell and navigate to this repo, then install 3.8.17
to be used locally:
$ pyenv install 3.8.17
$ cd ...your../open-event-server/
$ pyenv local 3.8.17
Now the Python version should automatically change when used within open-event-server.
We also expect poetry being available.
Change into the open-event-server
directory, and execute the following commands:
Activate Python 3.8.17 locally
$ pyenv local 3.8.17
Install dependencies using poetry
$ poetry install --with dev
Activate the pre-commit hook
$ poetry run pre-commit install
With that every git commit will be checked/formatted with various tools before being actually committed.
To enable development mode (development Flask config), set APP_CONFIG
environment variable to "config.DevelopmentConfig".
export APP_CONFIG=config.DevelopmentConfig
When writing changes to models. Use migrations.
# To generate a migration after doing a model update
python3 manage.py db migrate
# To sync Database
python3 manage.py db upgrade
# To rollback
python3 manage.py db downgrade
When checking in code for models, please update migrations as well.
The api is documented using api blueprint. First, generate the description/blueprint .apib
file using:
npx aglio --input docs/api/api_blueprint_source.apib --compile --output docs/api/api_blueprint.apib # generate the description .apib file
Local changes to the description can be viewed using e.g. the apiary gem:
gem install apiaryio # dependency
apiary preview --path docs/api/api_blueprint.apib # opens browser with generated file
Clone the repo and set up the server according to the steps listed. Make sure you have installed Poetry and all the dependencies required for testing by running
# Install Poetry
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python -
source ~/.profile
# Install Python dependencies
poetry install
# Activate project's virtual environment
poetry shell
./scripts/test_db.sh
And set appropriate value of TEST_DATABASE
in .env
TEST_DATABASE_URL=postgresql://test@localhost:5433/test
pytest tests/
robot -v SERVER:{server_name} -v SUPERUSER_USERNAME:{super_user_email_here} -v SUPERUSER_PASSWORD:{super_user_password} tests/robot
Change all the parameters inside {}
as per your local server. The final command would look like:
robot -v SERVER:localhost:5000 -v SUPERUSER_USERNAME:test@opev.net -v SUPERUSER_PASSWORD:test_password tests/robot
report.html
and log.html
respectively in your root directory.Git hook scripts are useful for identifying simple issues before submission to code review.
$ pre-commit install
pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-commit

Open Event is being translated using Weblate, a web tool designed to ease translating for both developers and translators.
If you would like to contribute to the translation of Open Event, you need to register on this server.
Once you have activated your account just proceed to the translation section.
This is an Open Source project and we would be happy to see contributors who report bugs and file feature requests submitting pull requests as well. Please report issues here https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-server/issues. It is also recommended to go through the developer handbook in order to get a basic understanding of the ecosystem.
We have the following branches :
development All development goes on in this branch. If you're making a contribution, please make a pull request to development. All PRs must pass a build check and a unit-test check on Travis (https://open-event-api-dev.herokuapp.com - Is running off of the development branch. It is hosted on Heroku.)
master
This contains shipped code. After significant features/bug-fixes are accumulated on development, we make a version update and make a release. (https://api.eventyay.com - Is running off of the master
branch. Hosted on Google Cloud Platform (Google Container Engine + Kubernetes).)
gh-pages This contains the documentation website on http://dev.eventyay.com. The site is built automatically on each commit in the development branch through a script and using travis. It includes the md files of the Readme and /docs folder. It also includes javadocs.
The tentative release policy, for now (since there is a lot of activity and a lot of bugs), is an alpha release every Monday and Friday (since we see more activity on weekends). So, any bug-fixes will not be reflected at eventyay.com until a new release is made in the master branch.
