 * Hello,
 * I try to manage events with the WordPress REST API but it does not seem fully
   supported.
   Creating the event with just the title is possible, but event properties
   like start date or location are meta, not available in the REST API.
 * Is it possible to support event meta in REST API?

 * Hi,
 * Guess adding the custom fields to the API call is something I can fairly easily
   add, but because of potential abuse I’m reluctant making events editable via 
   the API. Also, I don’t how to add the date correctly in the API call, as it is
   stored in the DB as UNIX time stamp.
