Frequently Asked Questions
Below you’ll find our Frequently Asked Questions about the TicketsData API: pricing, scaling, supported sources, and enterprise options.
Why not just build scrapers myself?
While building your own web scrapers might sound simple at first, in practice it is extremely time-consuming and unreliable. Websites like Ticketmaster and StubHub deploy advanced bot protection that includes CAPTCHAs, IP rate limits, and frequent layout changes. A scraper that works today may fail tomorrow, leaving you with broken scripts and missed opportunities. TicketsData API removes that headache by delivering structured JSON instantly without the need to maintain your own infrastructure. Instead of fighting anti-bot measures, you get a reliable pipeline of event data that is already cleaned, normalized, and production-ready. This allows your developers to focus on building features and analytics instead of troubleshooting scrapers around the clock.
Who is this service for?
TicketsData is designed for anyone who depends on live event information to power their business or research. Our most common users include ticket brokers and resellers who need accurate seat availability and pricing to stay competitive, marketplaces that want to display up-to-the-second event details, and analysts who track trends in the live entertainment industry. Startups often rely on TicketsData to quickly launch innovative apps without spending months building unreliable scrapers. Enterprises use the API to feed real-time ticket data into dashboards, pricing engines, and marketing tools. Whether you are a solo developer experimenting with small projects or a global company scaling to millions of requests per day, the service is built to adapt to your needs.
Which sources are supported?
The TicketsData API currently supports Ticketmaster, StubHub, Eventbrite, VividSeats, and SeatGeek, with additional sources being added regularly based on customer demand. By combining multiple providers into a single normalized API, we save you the trouble of learning different endpoints, handling unique authentication systems, and normalizing responses. Instead of wasting time writing glue code, you can make one request and receive consistent JSON output that works across platforms. This is especially valuable for businesses that monitor both primary and secondary markets at the same time. By supporting a wide variety of sources, TicketsData ensures you never miss opportunities across the ticketing ecosystem.
Are data sources sold separately?
Yes. Each source, such as Ticketmaster or StubHub, is available as a separate package today. This allows you to subscribe only to the data feeds that matter most for your business. Many of our clients begin with Ticketmaster data and later expand into secondary markets like VividSeats or SeatGeek. In the future, combined access bundles will be offered for clients who need broad coverage across multiple platforms in one subscription. This flexibility ensures that smaller customers are not overpaying for unused data, while enterprise clients can unlock multi-source integrations when their needs grow.
Can I scale to millions of requests?
Absolutely. Business and Enterprise plans are specifically designed to handle very high volumes of traffic. Concurrency controls, load balancing, and dedicated infrastructure make it possible to scale to millions of API calls per day without performance issues. Some of our largest clients are data providers and marketplaces who need to refresh thousands of events per hour, and the API is engineered to keep up with that demand. With SLAs and priority support, you can trust TicketsData for mission-critical applications where downtime or inaccurate data would result in significant losses. Whether you need to test a few hundred events per week or monitor every major concert and sports game in real time, TicketsData can scale with you.
