Official Eventbrite pages?

[arrighik]

Is there any interest in adding official eventbrite profiles to the legislators-social-media.yaml file? There are at least a few congresspeople who are posting their public events on eventbrite (e.g.: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/office-of-congressman-mike-rogers-14556476023 and https://www.eventbrite.com/o/congressman-lou-correa-12915058974), and I'm planning to collate a list of them.

Eventbrite doesn't verify profiles; so compared to other social media sites, it'll be a bit more difficult to prove the profiles are official. However, searching the official website for links to eventbrite should work.

If that seems like a good addition to legislators-social-media.yaml what format would be preferred?

Sounds good to me. e.g.:

eventbrite: 12915058974

The numeric id is enough to construct the URL.

That's really interesting. I think it'd be great to try adding it and see how much good data we can get from it.

@arrighik Feel free to try your hand at extending the social_media.py script - you might also want to just at least see how many House or Senate websites have an eventbrite.com link somewhere in their HTML, even as a one-off research query.
