Getting Event Fee(s) through API
February 09, 2011, 10:48:01 am
Is there a way to get the fees for an event through the API?  I couldn't find anything for this.  We have events that have a single fee/cost and we'd like to list out the events on a web page with their associated fees.  Is there a separate Event Fee get call somewhere?

Thanks.

There are instructions in the CiviCRM wiki on how to migrate / create a V3 API. If you would need any instruction or help in writing a V2 API (PriceSet.php?) let us know....assuming obviously that you are familiar with PHP

Thank you both.  It sounds like writing a v3 API is the better long-term option, I'll look into that at some point (we're in the middle of a "big" launch at the moment).  For now, I just added some quick DB queries to our custom Event API to pull in the default fee for an event and throw it into the output field set.  I'll look into writing something more appropriate/extensible for v3.

Oh, one side question - with the v3 API, will we have the ability to create custom API files and put them in our custom PHP folder structure?  That would be a huge plus as we have a couple of customizations to the API files and have to keep remembering to re-copy them during Civi upgrades.

I know the feeling, I hate the copying around....and I always seem to forget one :-) Unfortunately we did not take that on board for V3, time constraints, there is only so many things you can do in one day and more of that....
Next version?

Hi,

This being said, now that all the api requests are going to be through a unique civicrm_api, that will be much easier to add.
