Luma API: reminders_disabled parameter not working

Issue

The reminders_disabled parameter is accepted by both /v1/event/create and /v1/event/update endpoints without error, but the value is not persisted. Events always return reminders_disabled: null.

Test 1: Update existing event

curl -X POST "https://public-api.luma.com/v1/event/update" \
  -H "x-luma-api-key: [REDACTED]" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"event_api_id": "evt-c6BcnmRFLr5eC4g", "reminders_disabled": true}'

Response: {}

Verify:

curl "https://public-api.luma.com/v1/event/get?api_id=evt-c6BcnmRFLr5eC4g" | jq '.event.reminders_disabled'

Result: null

Test 2: Create new event with reminders_disabled

curl -X POST "https://public-api.luma.com/v1/event/create" \
  -H "x-luma-api-key: [REDACTED]" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Test Event - No Reminders",
    "start_at": "2026-03-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "end_at": "2026-03-01T02:00:00.000Z",
    "timezone": "America/New_York",
    "visibility": "private",
    "reminders_disabled": true
  }'

Response: {"api_id":"evt-Xpwir6jdle1DNw5"}

Verify:

curl "https://public-api.luma.com/v1/event/get?api_id=evt-Xpwir6jdle1DNw5" | jq '.event | {name, reminders_disabled}'

Result:

{
  "name": "Test Event - No Reminders",
  "reminders_disabled": null
}

Summary

• Both endpoints accept reminders_disabled: true without returning an error
• The value is NOT persisted - it remains null when fetching the event
• Other fields (like feedback_email) update correctly

Expected Behavior

Per Luma support: "Both the Create Event and Update Event endpoints accept a reminders_disabled parameter that you can set to true to turn off the automated reminder emails for that event."

The parameter should persist and be reflected when fetching the event.
