SeatGeek API – Real-Time Data

API performance

The SeatGeek API is optimized for fast, real-time access. Current production traffic processes around 1,000,000 requests per day as observed usage (not a limit), with consistent low-latency performance across shared and dedicated plans.

Actual performance may vary slightly depending on event size, filters, concurrency, and plan type.

SeatGeek API modes

By default, the API returns a complete real-time snapshot of SeatGeek listings for an event. Optimized modes can be used to limit payload size for performance-sensitive workflows.

Example response

Below is a simplified real-time SeatGeek response showing listings returned for a single event.

Shared and dedicated plans

The SeatGeek API is available on both shared and dedicated plans. Data format and structure are identical. Dedicated plans provide higher concurrency, isolation, and stability for large-scale workloads.
