Eventbrite API get full description

When using an eventbrite api end point e.g. https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/11111/?token=xxx

I only get the summary description e.g.

"description": {
    "text": "Short description", 
    "html": "Short description"
},

Is there a way to get the full description?

I had the same issue and found this on the official documentation: Retrieve full HTML description. The reason is that, as mentioned in Sheldon's answer (and here in docs):

To retrieve your event’s fully-rendered HTML description, you will need to make an additional API call to retrieve the Event's full HTML description.

This is the endpoint, in case someone gets here after Jul 2020 https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/event_id/description/

This is mentioned about the retrieve event endpoint.

Note: If the Event being retrieved was created using the new version of Create, then you may notice that the Event’s description field is now being used to hold the event summary. To retrieve your event’s fully-rendered HTML description, you will need to make an additional API call to retrieve the Event's full HTML description.

So, to fetch an events description, use this endpoint: https://www.eventbrite.com/platform/api#/reference/event/retrieve/retrieve-event-html-description

That is strange... I ran a call to the API and I received a full description.

*Note: The description was on multiple lines.

Can you share the event_id this is happening to?

*Also, Note: I am using iTerm, Python with the requests package, and pretty print package(pprint) to make my calls to the API. Could this be a settings issue with the tool you are using to make the calls?
