Stanislaw,

I have a table, called ‘venue’. I have a columb called ‘venue_name’.

When i hit an API via get, the servers respond me with values such as created at, updated at, venue, etc.

I want to make server respond with my custom format such as in this case ‘venue_name’

I have created and event handler in php, event name ‘describe’ and now confused what shall I do in order to get desired output from the server

Kindly Assist

Well, there is a runner_context argument in

public function afterDescribe( runner_context, entity_name, execution_result )

which is described here:
https://backendless.com/documentation/business-logic/php/bl_event_handlers.htm
You should change $prematureResult:

Please try it and let me know if you got it work as expected.

Regards,
Stanislaw

Sorry, I’m not a php developer and do not have any sample code for this case.

Writing the code for you is available, but payed option.
So what the problem with rewriting of $prematureResult variable?

Marlen,

Response modifications from an API event handler is not possible. When you return an object, it goes through some additional layers which further validate it.

Hi, Mark

Thank you for the response.

etc
