Mocking the Interface
OpenActive data has a large number of recommended and optional fields, some of which are not available from all providers.
Although it is always advisable to take a defensive approach due to this variance, in order to future-proof your interface, it can be useful to see all available fields in a single result item.
Our sandbox environment contains a data source called "Lorem Fitsum", which produces complete records of dummy data, based in the area of Oxford:
- Address: 🇬🇧 Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, United Kingdom
- Latitude: 51.7520131
- Longitude: -1.2578499
loremfitsum data contains two types of record with a rough 50/50 split across both:- Randomly generated: these contain a random collection of OpenActive recommended and optional fields, but does not necessarily include all fields.
- Golden records: these have a "GOLDEN:" prefix in their
nameproperty and contain all available fields in the OpenActive, OpenActive Beta, and imin namespaces. Note that other custom properties are available from data providers, documented in their@context, however, these are only present in the results endpoints (e.g./event-series/:id) and not in the search summaries.
