Hi Mike, There isn't a way to specify an exact match for the performer name. When searching for a specific performer, it's best to use the performer's ID with the spid: prefix. For example:
http://api.eventful.com/rest/events/search?app_key=test_key&keywords=spid:P0-001-000000067-4 Cheers, ~chris On Nov 15, 2010, at 1:13 PM, Mike Battista wrote: > > > Hi, > > I was wondering if there is a way in the /events/search API to specify that a > search for events using the performer: search domain should perform an exact > match on the performer name. > > This search typically works really well, but in cases where the performer > name is something generic like "Live", I can get back a lot of undesirable > results. > > With the case of the band "Live", I will get back things like "Video Games > Live" or any other performer with the word "Live" in the name. > > I really would only like events to come back with a performer name matching > exactly "Live". > > Is there a way to specify this with the /events/search API? > > Mike >
