Description
The Event API add-on exports individual events and shortcodes from Modern Events Calendar in JSON, generates scripts for the destination site or application, and allows limiting API access by the configured domain. It serves teams that need to reuse calendars on other WordPress sites or in external applications, keeping the data source in MEC Pro and distributing the event display across different platforms.
