Ticketmaster

Javascript SDK for the Ticketmaster Open Platform.

Aims to wrap the Ticketmaster API with coverage for all Open Platform endpoints, featuring:

• API key authentication support
• Ticketmaster OAuth2 access key support
• Promises on all requests via Bluebird

System Requirements

• NodeJS (v0.12 or greater)

Installation:

npm install --save ticketmaster@<version>

NOTE: We heavily use semantic versioning, and actively introduce breaking changes across MAJOR version changes. To avoid any breaking changes being introduced inadvertently, you should lock this package at a specific version using the npm command above, and upgrade explicitly.

Client:

For use in the browser-based client-side JS applications, a dist/ folder exists for each release. Releases can be found @ https://github.com/ticketmaster-api/sdk-javascript/releases.

git clone --branch <version> [e-mail]:ticketmaster-api/sdk-javascript.git

For browser usage there are two files in dist/ folder

./dist/ticketmaster-[version].js (raw with source-maps)
./dist/ticketmaster-[version].min.js (minified)

Include one of them in to your project:

...
<script src="ticketmaster-[version].js"></script>
<script src="ticketmaster-[version].min.js"></script>
...

Use global variable ticketmaster to make an API call (name can be changed in webpack settings during rebuild):

ticketmaster('your-api-key').discovery.v2.event.all()
.then(function(result) {
  // "result" is an object of Ticketmaster events information
});

Server:

Require the package and make an API call:

var ticketmaster = require('ticketmaster');
ticketmaster('your-api-key').discovery.v2.event.all()
.then(function(result) {
  // "result" is an object of Ticketmaster events information
});

Alternative syntax if you are only interested in a subset of the API:

var EventAPI = require('ticketmaster').discovery.v2.event;
EventAPI('your-api-key').all()

Rebuild source:

In case you want to build your own bundle for client

1. Clone this repository

git clone [e-mail]:ticketmaster-api/sdk-javascript.git

2. install dependencies

npm install

3. Run npm script:

• for raw (with source-maps) version of client lib use:

npm run-script dev

• for minified version of client lib use:

npm run-script prod

• or (for Windows users):

npm run-script win-prod

Error handling:

Be aware: no .catch() method provided! You should write it by your own.

Result object API:

(provided only for sets which are result of .all() type methods)

properties: -result.items - Array of Ticketmaster event information. -result.page - Additional general information object.

methods: -result.getPage(index) - Promise which returns a new Result object. -result.nextPage() - Promise which returns a new Result object. Can take additional param - step (1 by default). -result.previousPage() - Promise which returns a new Result object. Can take additional param - step (1 by default). -result.records() - returns an Array of this page's records -result.count() - returns the total count of items -result.isLastPage() - returns a Boolean if current Result is the last page
