Getting only those Facebook events which haven't expired graph api

Question

I am trying to get only those facebook events that haven't expired yet(Upcoming events).

When i use the following query i get all the events including those that have expired long ago.

FBRequestConnection startWithGraphPath:@"/me/events"
                                     parameters:nil
                                     HTTPMethod:@"GET"

You can make use of the since parameter as described in

if you set the timestamp to the current time, you should only see future events:

/me/events?since=1417508443

You can use time_filter=enum{upcoming,past}. e.g. if you want upcoming events that have not expired yet, send a request like this

/page_name_or_id/events?time_filter=upcoming

In this way you don't have to handle timezone issues as with since=timestamp query.

This applies only for page events, not user events it seems. – Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen Nov 19 '17 at 20:17
This answer is incorrect. The fields time_filter and the key upcoming don't exist anymore. I filled a bug report that the endpoint does not work and they told me it never existed. – Darkwonder Aug 27 '20 at 06:23
@Darkwonder look at the answer date, it is obviously outdated, it was correct answer that's why there are more upvotes – Zohaib Ijaz Aug 27 '20 at 14:40
It still works in v13. .../events?time_filter=upcoming&include_canceled=true&limit=25&fields=id,name,end_time,start_time – Alexandre Desroches May 13 '22 at 15:51
This also works in v13: `...?fields=events.time_filter(upcoming){cover{source},category,description,id,is_canceled,end_time,picture,is_draft,is_online,name,place,start_time,updated_time,event_times}` – Alexandre Desroches May 13 '22 at 16:00
