Release highlights

You can now access more information about your events through the Event List and Audience Details API Reports. By combining previously existing API data with these new fields, users can differentiate between all of the various event types and statuses.

• Current Event Type shows the event type as it currently exists and its published state. 
• SimLive indicates that the event was created as, OR has been converted to, a SimLive at any point. 
  
• OD Duration provides the length of an On-Demand or Archived event, including events prior to this release.
  
• Time Zone in which the event was scheduled for broadcast.

More Details About the New Fields

• Current Event Type

  • This shows the event type as it currently exists, not including any SimLive indicators.This also will indicate the published state.

    • Live events that have published will show a value of 'archived' and OD events will show 'published' or 'unpublished'

  • Field name

    • current_event_type

  • Possible values

    • live

    • archived

    • od-published

    • od-unpublished

• SimLive

  • This flag indicates that the event was created as, OR has been converted to, a SimLive at any point

    • Once the event is set as SimLive, this flag does not change (ex. when the SimLive is complete and the event is now available on-demand)

  • Field name

    • simlive

Note: Most recent SimLive Schedule Date already exists in the Reporting API Event List Report, field names ‘latest_simlive_sched_start’ and ‘latest_simlive_sched_end’

• This date could indicate a scheduled time in the future for an upcoming SimLive OR a the most recent date in the past when it was already run.

• Note that SimLives can be re-run multiple times, but there can only be one scheduled future date.

• Combining this data with the new SimLive and Current Event Type fields will allow users to differentiate between all of the various event types and statuses (see examples below).

• OD Duration:

  • This field provides the length of an On-Demand or Archived event, in seconds. This value is calculated when an event archives and each time it is published.
