Eventbrite API - I can't get to sort by music category

I am able to sort by city and date, below is that I have so far:

var eventBriteRestUrl = "https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/?token=" + eventBriteApiKey + "&location.address=" + city + "&sort_by=date";

I don't get how to add the music category in my url. Please help!

Hello,

Use this to get the categories

"https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/categories/?token=" + "Your token"

You will find Music is category id = 103, so use this

"https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/categories/103/?token=" + "Your token"

And you will get a response containing the subcategories for music, for example Rock has an id of 3017. So you can use these values with your search like this

"https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/?location.address=" + city + "&categories=103&subcategories=3017&sort_by=date&token="Your token"

Hope that helps.

WOW Jerson Otzoy thank you so much! It worked by adding &categories=103 to my URL.
