Import events from public Eventbrite organizer pages via Schema.org JSON-LD extraction.

Overview

The Eventbrite handler parses public Eventbrite organizer pages to extract events from embedded JSON-LD structured data. No API key or authentication is required – events are extracted directly from the public HTML page.

Features

JSON-LD Extraction

• Schema.org Parsing: Extracts Event schema from <script type="application/ld+json"> tags
• ItemList Support: Handles both individual Event objects and ItemList containers
• Complete Metadata: Extracts venue, pricing, performer, and image data

Configuration Options

• organizer_url: Full Eventbrite organizer page URL (required)
• date_range: Number of days into the future to import (default: 90)

Usage

Configuration

$config = [
    'organizer_url' => 'https://www.eventbrite.com/o/lo-fi-brewing-14959647606',
    'date_range' => 90
];

Example Organizer URLs

• https://www.eventbrite.com/o/lo-fi-brewing-14959647606
• https://www.eventbrite.com/o/your-organizer-name-12345678

Data Mapping

Eventbrite Schema.org to Event Details Block

Integration

EventIdentifierGenerator

Uses EventIdentifierGenerator::generate() for consistent event identity:

$event_identifier = EventIdentifierGenerator::generate(
    $standardized_event['title'],
    $standardized_event['startDate'],
    $standardized_event['venue']
);

Single-Item Processing

Processes one event per job execution with duplicate prevention via ProcessedItems tracking.

Venue Metadata

Complete venue metadata extraction including:

• Address components (street, city, state, zip, country)
• Geographic coordinates
• Phone and website (when available)

Handler Registration

Uses HandlerRegistrationTrait for self-registration:

self::registerHandler(
    'eventbrite',
    'event_import',
    self::class,
    __('Eventbrite Events', 'datamachine-events'),
    __('Import events from any public Eventbrite organizer page via JSON-LD extraction', 'datamachine-events'),
    false,
    null,
    EventbriteSettings::class,
    null
);

Advantages

• No API Key Required: Works with public organizer pages only
• Schema.org Standard: Leverages structured data that Eventbrite maintains for SEO
• Complete Data: Extracts venue, pricing, performer, and image information
• Date Range Filtering: Configurable future date window for imports

Limitations

• Only works with public organizer pages
• Depends on Eventbrite’s JSON-LD structure (standard Schema.org format)
• Cannot access private or draft events
