Re: [api-developers] getting "unable to add venue"

[Chris Radcliff]

Hi Nancy,

I notice that the 'country' parameter has a %20 in it, though the others appear 
to be unencoded. Is it possible you're double-encoding the %20? When I do that 
as a test, I get the same "Unable to add venue" you're getting.

http://api.eventful.com/rest/venues/new?...&name=DiversityWorks%20Worshops&country=United%2520States&address=800%20Heinz%20Ave.%20%2314&city=Berkeley&region=CA&postal_code=94710&venue_type=Community%20Center

Note the double encoding of "United%2520States", versus the single encoding of 
"Community%20Center". 

If that's the culprit, I'll see what I can do to improve the error message it 
generates. It doesn't seem to be bubbling up the "country not found" error that 
it encounters at a lower level.

Cheers,
~chris
