Search events

GET/v1/events/search

Modern replacement for the v0.3.1 POST search. Returns event metadata with standardization (normalized venue name, country, lat/lng, slug, performer, tour name) flattened into each item. Use this to discover event_id values for the paid stats endpoint.

No charge per call.

Pricing principle

This endpoint returns metadata only - never time-series or aggregate data derived from observed marketplace activity. Sales/listings data is paid via the dedicated endpoints.

Pagination

Cursor-based. Pass starting_after with the value from next_cursor to fetch the next page. Cursors expire after 1 hour.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Pass Authorization: Bearer <api_key>. Preferred for new integrations.

In: header
