I am trying to pull active event feeds but found that all <description /> nodes are empty. Is there another source from where I can pull event description or any other way to set some flags/parameters on current api to retrieve this information?
Thnaks,
Mangesh

You could try using the abstract or allText fields. Conversely, you could make a call to the Active Resource API, http://developer.active.com/docs#resourcedetails, to get expanded details for a given result.
Let me know how you go.

I couldn't see ways to use "abstract" or "allText" fields in teh documentation. And, using resource API is very inefficient if I have more than one event listed. Could you please illustrate the use of "abstract" or "allText" fields using search api? Thanks.

"abstract" and "allText" are elements contained in the response, so you'd parse the values from them just as you would "description":
<abstract>
<b>...</b> Extras; Active Partner Offers. Jersey Shore <b>Half Marathon</b> TRAINING PLANS. Based<br> on 0 reviews. <b>...</b> Recent Reviews Jersey Shore <b>Half Marathon</b> TRAINING PLANS reviews. <b>...</b>
</abstract>
or
<allText>

Note, these values are user generated and, as such, are not present in every response record.

<abstract> is not always populated in most of the responses.
<allText> node is not present in the response I get.
What is the recommended way to get events information including "<description>" in one pull using search api?
active Admin – 15 years ago
Hey Mangesh, thanks for your patience. We're rolling out a new fix in the next month that will put the description you find in our Resource API into the Search API. This means you'll be able to use the Search API to get all of the data you need. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the reply.
Do you have any fixed date as to when you will roll out the fix to include description in same event feed?
Separately, when I try to pull descriptions for each event, I get "403: Forbidden" error after around 100 requests. Would suggest some work aound for this?

We're about 1 month away from getting that release into Production. Regarding the Active Resource API, you're rate limited to 2 requests per second, 10,000 requests per day. You're likely exceeding the QPS limit when you receive the 403 error.
