The current implementation has us requesting OrganisationVenue's based on the events they run on a day-to-day basis. This means on a Monday, only OrganisationVenue's that have events running that day should be shown.
A typical request is only for one single day, as each day is loaded independently. Parameters:
latlonradiusstart_timeend_timeactivity_type
An expected response would be along the lines of:
[
{ "organisation" : {...},
"venue" : {...},
"event_min_price : ...,
"event_count" : ...
},
{ "organisation" : {...},
"venue" : {...},
"event_min_price : ...,
"event_count" : ...
},
]
Each of these OrganisationVenue's should only be relevant for the date and activity_type supplied.
On my end, given that I no longer have access to the Event's, I would attach a dictionary onto the OrganisationVenue linking activity_types to the day they run. I can obtain this information from the request I make. Moreover, I would need to link event countandevent_min_price` to specific dates too.
Therefore, when loading from cache, I can safely query the dictionary for the activity_type and see what if any of the dates match the current query. If they do, I can show that organisation venue.
Tagging could work, but it might be a bit messy. I'll see what I can pull off with what I've got.
We're certainly hitting the point where using a standalone search tool would help us massively.
