  • 0

I am trying to figure out how to create a new event without specifying an end_time. This has worked successfully in the Graph API Explorer, but not in my JavaScript code.

FB.api('/me/events?access_token=' + accessToken,'post',{name: retVal.name, start_time: retVal.start_time, location: retVal.location, description: retVal.description, privacy: 'SECRET'},function(retVal) {});

If I include an end_time, it works perfectly. But if not, I get ‘(#100) An event cannot have an end time before its start time.’ There has to be a way to do this. My customers may not always want to specify an end time for whatever event they happen to be creating, and it might annoy them slightly if I put one in there for them.

Thanks

    So… here’s the deal. Basically, I’m an idiot. What I didn’t catch in my testing is that the database for my local events requires an end_date, so it was using the start_date if one was not supplied. I had an if statement in the logic to check if the end_date was empty, which in this case it never was. So the API call was passing the same values in for both start and end, throwing the error.

    That’s what happens when you’re working late at night…
