Best way to sync venue IDs   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #166 of 342 |
I'm curious if anyone else has run across this: my site is an
entertainment/music website for the Midwest currently, and I have
roughly 10,000 venues in my system. I would like to add a field to my
tPlaces (venues) table to hold the Upcoming venue_id. That way when I
submit new events to Upcoming, I can send the proper venue_id without
any additional overhead.

If that isn't possible or easy, how are other folks getting the
venue_id before adding a new event? If you use the venue methods, who
is to say you won't get more than one record returned?

Just a new person to the forum with a couple questions - thanks for
any replies.

I think you've been a bit misinformed -- Upcoming.yahoo.com is a different site from EVDB. But, here's how you would look for that venue on Upcoming. And...

Oops - got my wires crossed. I'm trying to integrate with both Upcoming.org and Eventful.com (has an evdb agent) - my bad. At any rate, I face the same...

Here is my very quick, very dirty solution - I'm sure I could refine it a bit, but it works. It's written in classic ASP/MySQL which runs on Windows/IIS: ...
