Is there a standard for strStatus? |

 Posts: 5 Joined: 2021 | Hi All, I'm working on a project that uses the eventsday endpoint and figured out if a start time is not known, strTime and (sometimes) the time element of strTimestamp will be 00:00:00, and then the strStatus field will be 'Time to be defined' - but only about 2/3rds of the time. 'Match Cancelled' / 'Match Postponed' also seem to be regular entries for this field, and 'Not Started' or 'NS' - which I'm guessing mean the same thing, but I wouldn't have thought effect the start time? (or do they?). There are also a fair number of events that have strStatus = NULL, but strTime = 00:00:00 which I'm going to assume are because they are all-day events? And maybe some of these events genuinely do start at 00:00 UTC in their timezone. How have others tackled this? Is there a way of being sure strTime = 00:00:00 means start time unknown, or all day, or whatever other reason? Ta Pete | ||

Its hard when we have automated importers but also manual entries from users to know, but maybe it can be improved if I have a think about it some more. | ||
