Event art types

Hi! I’m looking into an Event Art ticket, where if there is no Poster available it should show another type of event art like Flyer or Banner. Thing is how is the art types structured, like Poster id 1, Flyer id 2 and so on? also what is the event art hierarchy? Any info or tips on that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance c:

The raw JSON looks like that. I would assume the types are just like what is listed on the add-art tab

It probably follows most of Cover Art Archive / API. I was looking at this a few hours ago, too

I would assume one of

  • Poster

  • Ticket

  • Setlist

  • Banner

  • Schedule

  • Flyer

  • Merchandise

  • Map

  • Raw/Unedited

  • Watermark

  • Program

Thanks a lot!
I saw that right now it shows the event art if the art is a Poster and I think also if it’s marked as Front, otherwise it won’t show, but on the json you showed me it marks the art as Poster and a Flyer as I understand.
Also the cover art api shows same format, has the property of front, so I assume, that if is a poster it’s front or if it’a a cover art it’s front, since on the add event art doesn’t ask for that, so I guess it’s added when it’s approved? Still figuring it out, but I appreciate a ton the links provided! (: @davygrvy

it adds it right away. I think what that means is if it passes peer-review

Thank you a lot! It was really helpful.
Since Poster has a type_id 1, it makes the is_front true, so that’s why It shows the Poster on the sidebar, if the is_front is true.
Appreciate all the help! :smiley:

BTW events don’t have a cover type of ‘front’ - you may be getting release art confused with event art.

It says front is true in the JSON for the item selected to be displayed. The type is Poster
