Data in Output

   I am using the Search API and receiving an XML output. I am trying to pull out start date, closing date, event address and brief event description....unfortunately I don't see those in the output layout......I found Lat/Long.......but not the others.......Am I missing something?

   Looks like what I have to do is take the event ID from the search API result and call the Active Resource API to get the additional information.

   The Active Resource API will give you the same address data that Search does. There are inconsistencies as "address" is a user input field, and we get varying results. But for the majority of records, you should be able to use:
   
   eventAddress
   city
   state
   
   Now sometimes you get:
   <eventAddress>Crown Point Drive and Corona Oriente Road</eventAddress>
   or
   <eventAddress>Starts at the Del Mar Fairgrounds - Finishes at La Jolla Cove</eventAddress>
   
   but other times you get:
   <eventAddress>2131 Pan American Plaza</eventAddress>
   
   Let me know how you go.
