TIP: If you're an event organizer looking to use an app for extra functionality, visit the Eventbrite App Marketplace .

Generate an API Key

1. Go to Account Settings.

Log in  and go to your Account Settings  from the navigation menu.

2. Go to "API Keys" (under Developer Links).

If you don't see this option, your organization may not have given you permission. To solve this, ask the owner or admin of your organization to give you permission to "Create webhooks" .

3. Select "Create API key".

4. Request a new API key.

Enter the following information to request a new application key:

  1. Name: The first and last name of the contact for your application.

  2. Company Name: The name of your company.

  3. Application URL: Enter the link for your application.

  4. OAuth Redirect URI: The place in your application the user is redirected to after authenticating with Eventbrite. Used during our 3rd party oAuth flow.

  5. Application Name: The name of your application.

  6. Description: Write a short description with the most important information about your application.

The Company Name and OAuth Redirect URI are optional fields.

5. Choose "Create Key."

After filling in the required information, choose "Create Key" to create a new application key. You'll also receive an email from Eventbrite when your API application key is approved.

Troubleshooting

The Eventbrite API developer Documentation  is a comprehensive overview of Eventbrite's API and explains how to solve common issues, like confirming your endpoint is spelled correctly with the correct parameters. Consult the documentation if you have any questions about your API key integration.
