About Ticketmaster

The Ticketmaster Developer Portal provides API access to Ticketmaster's event, ticketing, and commerce data. Core offerings include the Discovery API for searching events by keyword, location, artist, venue, genre, or promoter, retrieving event images, and looking up attraction, classification, and venue details, plus a Commerce API for retrieving available offers for a given event. Coverage spans Ticketmaster, TicketWeb, Universe, FrontGate, and Ticketmaster Resale, with global event data.

Additional partner-tier APIs are available for approved partners, covering transactions against ticket offers, event and ticket availability, cart creation and checkout, payment and shipping, order management, event publishing, international event discovery, season ticketing, and inventory status. SDKs and embeddable widgets (event discovery, countdown, calendar, map, and a WordPress widget) are also provided for building event-related interfaces.

API access requires registration for an API key. All calls follow a fixed URI format (package/version/resource) and are authenticated via API key. Free-tier keys are issued with a default quota of 5,000 calls per day and a rate limit of 5 requests per second, with usage trackable via response headers; higher rate limits can be granted case-by-case after compliance review. The API supports CORS for browser-based JavaScript requests. The portal is aimed at developers building event discovery, ticketing, and commerce experiences, including affiliate and certified partners.
