Get an event API endpoint not returning description

For a published SIMPLE_EVENT, both GET /v2/zoom_events/events and GET /v2/zoom_events/events/{eventId} return description: "" even though the public event page has visible description content. Which API endpoint exposes that public-facing description?

Potentially unintended behavior. The API documentation does suggest that the description returned by those two calls would be what you’re looking for, and we’ve definitely spotted a few issues with both Zoom APIs and Zoom API references over the year. Have you chatted with anybody over at the Zoom Developer Forum yet?

Hey ​@bstrelko 👋

I haven’t! I looked at that forum, but I wasn’t sure if my question qualified. I can try posting over there. Appreciate your response!
