Access SeatGeek event data: search events, get ticket price stats, browse performers and venues, and retrieve trending events via 8 structured endpoints.
What is the SeatGeek API?
The SeatGeek API exposes 8 endpoints covering event search, ticket pricing, performer lookup, venue schedules, and category taxonomies. The search_events endpoint returns event titles, UTC datetimes, venue details, performer arrays, and price statistics (lowest, highest, median, average) in a single paginated response. You can filter by keyword, taxonomy ID, or geographic coordinates to narrow results to a specific market or event type.

}About the SeatGeek API
Event Search and Detail
The search_events endpoint accepts a query string, optional lat/lon coordinates, a taxonomy_id (e.g. 1000000 for Sports, 2000000 for Concerts), and pagination controls (page, per_page). Each returned event object includes id, title, datetime_utc, a venue object (name, city, state, coordinates), a performers array, a stats block with lowest_price, highest_price, median_price, and average_price, plus direct url. For a single event, get_event_detail takes an event_id and returns the same shape with full configuration and schedule status fields.
Pricing and Ticket Listings
get_event_ticket_prices_summary returns an isolated stats object for a given event_id, covering listing_count, average_price, lowest_price, highest_price, median_price, lowest_sg_base_price, and visible_listing_count — useful when you only need the pricing snapshot without pulling the full event record. For row-level granularity, get_event_ticket_listings returns an array of individual listings with section, row, seat, and price data alongside a num_listings count.
Performers, Venues, and Taxonomies
search_performers takes a required query and optional limit, returning performer objects with id, name, type, score, slug, genres, popularity, has_upcoming_events, and num_upcoming_events. Once you have a venue ID from any event object, get_venue_events lists all upcoming events at that venue with the same full event shape including stats. get_taxonomies requires no inputs and returns the full category tree — each taxonomy carries id, name, parent_id, slug, and a stats block with event_count and performer_count. get_trending_events supports optional lat/lon to surface location-aware trending content.
The SeatGeek API is a managed, monitored endpoint for seatgeek.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when seatgeek.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official seatgeek.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Track ticket price floors and ceilings across upcoming concerts using
stats.lowest_priceandstats.highest_pricefromsearch_events - Build a venue calendar by calling
get_venue_eventswith a venue ID to list all scheduled events at a specific arena or theater - Monitor performer popularity scores and upcoming event counts via
search_performersto identify rising or peaking acts - Filter local sports events by passing taxonomy_id
1000000alongside lat/lon coordinates insearch_events - Compare median ticket prices across multiple events using
get_event_ticket_prices_summarywithout fetching full event detail payloads - Populate a category navigation using the full taxonomy tree from
get_taxonomies, including parent/child relationships and per-category event counts - Surface location-relevant trending events by passing user coordinates to
get_trending_events
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 200 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
| Team | $300/mo | 20,000 | 300 req/min |
| Company | $1,000/mo | 100,000 | 500 req/min |
Each endpoint has a fixed posted price per successful call — most fall between 1 and 10 credits — shown on this API's page before you run it. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does SeatGeek have an official developer API?+
What does `get_event_ticket_listings` return compared to `get_event_ticket_prices_summary`?+
get_event_ticket_listings returns an array of individual listings with per-seat data (section, row, seat, price) and a num_listings count. get_event_ticket_prices_summary returns only aggregate stats: lowest_price, highest_price, median_price, average_price, listing_count, lowest_sg_base_price, and visible_listing_count. Use the summary endpoint when you need price range context without iterating individual seats.Does the API expose historical pricing or sold-out event data?+
Can I filter `search_events` results to a specific city without knowing the exact coordinates?+
search_events endpoint filters by lat and lon string parameters for location-based search; there is no city-name filter parameter. You would need to resolve a city name to coordinates before passing them. The meta response object includes geolocation info from the query. Direct city-name filtering is not currently exposed as a parameter, but you can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add a geocoding step or a city-name input.How is `taxonomy_id` used in `search_events`, and where do valid IDs come from?+
taxonomy_id is an optional string filter on search_events that restricts results to a category — for example 1000000 for Sports or 2000000 for Concerts. The full list of valid IDs, names, slugs, and parent relationships comes from calling get_taxonomies, which requires no inputs and returns every category with its id field.
