EffectIO Event API for MEC 1.4.0

Description:

Event API for MEC is an extension built for Modern Events Calendar. Its purpose is to take the events held in your calendar and make them available outside the site where the calendar runs. Rather than keeping event content locked to a single location, the extension lets you expose those events to other websites and to apps. The calendar itself remains the place where events live, while the extension handles the task of passing that content along to wherever it is needed.

The extension works through three kinds of output. JavaScript embeds place event content into a page on another site through script, so the events appear directly within that page. Iframe-friendly pages are pages prepared in a way that allows them to be framed inside a different site, which keeps the event display contained while it still comes from your calendar. JSON endpoints return event data as structured JSON, which is the format that apps and other sites typically read when they pull in content from somewhere else. Together these three routes cover both visual embedding and data-level access.

This extension is aimed at people who run Modern Events Calendar and who need their events to appear in more than one place. If you maintain several websites and want the same events visible on each of them, the extension provides a way to surface that content across all of them. It also speaks to anyone building an app that should show events, since the JSON endpoints exist precisely so that applications can read the event data directly.

In short, the extension sits alongside Modern Events Calendar and opens the calendar's event content to the outside. Websites can show the events through JavaScript embeds or through iframe-friendly pages, while apps and other sites can read the same events as JSON from the endpoints. The choice between the three methods depends on where the events need to appear and whether the receiving side wants a ready display or raw data.
