   I am trying to pull Basketball events nationwide with daterange of today + 1 year using search api.
   I find some events missing in my events feed. A few are listed below...
   
   http://www.active.com/page/Event_Details.htm?event_id=1867280
   http://www.active.com/not-specified-recware-activities/chula-vista-ca/basketball-camp-ses-1-june-2010
   
   Please suggest a way that ensures all of them are pulled. Thank you.

   Hi Mangesh, I assume you're doing a search like this http://api.amp.active.com/search?api_key=4b7q66myjtkw4cbhf52pyvhm&v=xml&m=meta:channel=Basketball+meta:startDate:daterange:today.. to get all basketball activities in the future. The Activities you mention above aren't classified correctly, and their channel is set to "Not Specified", which is why they don't show up.
   
   We have a team of folks who work on fixing classification issues like these. But, in the meantime, you could try something like this:
   
   http://api.amp.active.com/search?k=basketball&category=Activities&v=xml&m=meta:startDate:daterange:today..&api_key=4b7q66myjtkw4cbhf52pyvhm
   
   this uses our relevancy algorithm to return all activities about Basketball, which will include events and camps. Let me know how you go.
