Overview

What is a ticket scraping API?

A ticket scraping API turns a public marketplace event page into structured JSON. Instead of operating browsers, proxies, parsers, retries, and marketplace-specific integrations, you send an event URL and receive the listings that are available when the request runs.

tickets.dev is a real-time ticket scraping API for retrieving live ticket inventory, pricing, fees, sections, rows, quantities, and seat maps from Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, TickPick, Gametime, Viagogo, and GoTickets.

Live capture vs cached ticket data

Cached ticket feeds return the last stored version of an event, which may predate a price change, a new listing, or a sold quantity. A live capture reads the marketplace when your API request runs and records the result with a capture timestamp.

Use on-demand scraping when freshness matters for inventory monitoring, price alerts, resale analytics, or cross-marketplace comparison. If you need history, store successive snapshots from the real-time ticket price API.

Built for production

Why use an API instead of maintaining ticket scrapers?

A managed ticket marketplace scraper lets your team build on the data instead of maintaining the capture infrastructure behind it.

Live capture, not a stale cache

Each request captures the event on demand, so prices and availability reflect the marketplace at request time.

One normalized API

Use one key and one response shape instead of building and maintaining a separate ticket scraper for every marketplace.

Scraping infrastructure included

Browser sessions, network routing, page changes, retries, and normalized output are handled as part of each capture.

Failures are not billed

Pricing is based on completed captures, so failed marketplace requests do not consume your paid allowance.

Use cases

Ticket scraping API use cases

Ticket price monitoring

Capture an event on a schedule and record listing, fee, and all-in price changes over time.

Ticket resale analytics

Measure listing depth, available quantities, get-in price, median price, and market movement.

Cross-marketplace comparison

Normalize Ticketmaster, StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, TickPick, Gametime, Viagogo, and GoTickets into one comparable dataset.

Inventory alerts

Detect new listings, disappearing inventory, section changes, price drops, and quantity changes.

FAQ

Ticket Scraping API questions

Is there an API for scraping Ticketmaster ticket inventory?

Yes. Send a public Ticketmaster event URL to the Ticketmaster scraper API to receive its current listing-level inventory, pricing, fees, availability, quantities, sections, rows, and optional seat maps as normalized JSON.

How can I get live StubHub ticket listings through an API?

Send the public StubHub event URL to the StubHub capture endpoint. tickets.dev runs the live capture and returns current listings with sections, rows, quantities, ticket prices, fees, and all-in totals.

What is the difference between a ticket API and a ticket scraping API?

A general ticket API may return event metadata, schedules, or a lowest advertised price. A ticket scraping API captures a marketplace event page and returns its current listing-level inventory, pricing, fees, quantities, sections, and rows.

Does tickets.dev return live or cached inventory?

tickets.dev runs an on-demand live capture for each request. It does not return a listing row from a scheduled or stale cache.

Can I use tickets.dev instead of maintaining my own ticket scrapers?

Yes. You send a supported public event URL and receive normalized JSON while tickets.dev operates the marketplace-specific browser and capture infrastructure.

Can I retrieve ticket sections, rows, and quantities?

Yes. Listings include section, row, available quantity, ticket price, fee, all-in total, inventory type, and other marketplace fields when available.

Can I compare StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats prices?

Yes. Capture the corresponding event on each marketplace and compare the normalized ticket price, fee, total price, section, row, and quantity fields.
