The TicketSpot developer API lets you list, retrieve, create and update events, find attendees, and scan tickets for the site associated with your API key. API access requires a paid Business, Business+, or Platform plan. Free plans, trials and ticket packs do not grant developer API access.

​
Create an API key

The Developers API key creation form with a descriptive name field.

Account → Developers → Create API Key asks for a descriptive name. No credential is shown in this example.

  1. Select your intended site in the dashboard.
  2. Open the account menu and choose Developers.
  3. Select Create API Key, enter a descriptive name, and create the key.
  4. Copy the secret before closing the dialog. It is shown once.
  5. Send the key in the Authorization header from your integration:
The key is limited to its site and granted permissions. Every key uses an independent secret; the server stores its hash. Keep the secret in your server environment and use Revoke when access should end.

​
Permissions

Keys receive these permissions by default. Keys can be issued with fewer permissions through key management. A missing permission returns 403. API eligibility is checked for every request using the current billing plan resolver. Downgrading below Business removes API access, subject to billing cache invalidation. You can still revoke existing keys.

​
Try an operation

Open an endpoint page, enter your key in its authorization field, and use the interactive playground. Requests run against the API server shown in the playground and apply normal plan checks, permissions and rate limits. Creating an event or scanning an attendee changes records on the site tied to the key. Start with Get events to confirm your connection. Follow the quickstart for a draft-event example. Use the dashboard for advanced ticket rules, memberships, seating and communication settings.
