Hello,
My client has a complex requirement and I request this group to give me some ideas on how I can implement it.
Briefly I will have atleast 50 companies selling tickets on my website for their fishing charters.
While WIX Events look like an ideal match, it does not offer any API or search feature.

I will have to build an extensive search based on 6 to 7 parameters such as fish type, location, boat type, duration etc. I also need a star rating system on these fishing companies. Could you please give me some suggestions on how I can design this thing ?

a) Should I wait till WIX Store API is released and use WIX Store instead of WIX Events ?

b) Set-up all 50 events in WIX Events, each Event will have a unique URL, then set-up a dataset with all the other parameters and link this unique WIX Event URL to a Book Now button in my dynamic page

c) Any other ideas, please feel free to share.

Hi,
It seems to me that option (b) is the best as you can do it right now without waiting for new functionality. Furthermore, once Wix Events API is exposed via Wix Code, you will probably be able to use the Events you built and the corresponding meta-Events collection with minimal changes to your site and code.

Is there a roadmap or timeframe for when a Wix Events API might be released? Would love to be able to interact with our events on the site in different ways than exist currently.

I’m afraid that we cannot give an ETA for that matter. I recommend following the Products Updates forum category to stay tuned.

Best,
Tal.
