Restricted Events Rule for API Export – Yodel

Keeping Yodel Event Data Relevant and Clean

To ensure that our event data remains relevant and user-friendly, we use a set of "restricted" event keywords. These keywords can assist you in filtering out unwanted events from the calendar on your website. This approach helps maintain a curated and engaging experience for all users.

On the API data, there will be a "restricted" field labeled as "True" or "False". If this field is labeled as "True", this means it has keywords that are included on our restricted list (see below). You have full control on whether or not you include or exclude those events labeled as "Restricted: True".
