Overview
Our Exchange API is organized around REST. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts JSON request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes and verbs.
Authentication
Authentication is based on API Tokens plus a shared secret which is used to compute a required X-Signature header.
Credential Type | Description | Required Headers |
---|---|---|
Upload Credential | Used only to upload inventory either via the Auto Uploader software or via a special API endpoint. |
|
API Credential | The typical credential which acts on behalf of a Brokerage. |
|
User Credential | A User Credential is used to act on behalf of a specific User and is need for certain endpoints. |

Environments
There are two distinct environments available for the API. The Production environment is the one your production applications should use, but a Sandbox environment is also provided for testing your integrations. The Sandbox is an environment completely isolated from Production, but has the same Events, Performers, Venues, and Configurations as the Production environment.
Environment | API URL |
---|---|
Sandbox | https://api.sandbox.ticketevolution.com |
Production | https://api.ticketevolution.com |
For more information on placing test orders in Sandbox see Placing Test Orders.
Pagination
Most endpoints support Pagination which allows you to adjust the quantity and range of results returned. The following query parameters will let you change the result set size for list endpoints and access additional pages.
per_page
- defaults to 100, maximum of 100page
- defaults to 1
Conditionals
Most endpoints that accept date parameters such as updated_at
or occurs_at
support the following conditionals for creating a date range. The deleted endpoints utilize deleted_at
.
.eq
- equal (case-sensitive).not_eq
- not equal (case-sensitive).gt
- greater than.gte
- greater than or equal.lt
- less than.lte
- less than or equal
For example, this query would find all of the events occurring between May 15 and May 20, 2023:
/v9/events?occurs_at.gte=2023-05-15&occurs_at.lt=2023-05-20
