Usage

Information on how to use the eventbrite APIs can be found below. Further information on the API methods available can be found at https://developer.eventbrite.com. You can also find further information on how to obtain an API key, and/or OAuth2 in your eventbrite account and much more on the eventbrite API pages.

eventbrite API

eventbriteAPI takes an options object, The only required option for version3 of the api is an oAuth token.

http://developer.eventbrite.com/docs/auth/

All API requests must be authenticated with a valid OAuth token. Tokens are tied to user accounts; if you’re just using the API for a single user or organizer, then follow ‘Personal Tokens’ if you’re using the API for many Eventbrite users, then follow ‘OAuth Token Flow’. which you can find in your eventbrite Account. The second argument is an options object which can contain the following options:

required options:

• token

available options

• version The API version to use. Defaults to v3.
• userAgent Custom User-Agent description to use in the request header.
• contentType defaults to application/json and currently the api only supports json

The callback function for each API method gets two arguments, an error and results object.

The error object is null when no error occured. The results object contains all information retrieved as long as no error occurred.

Example:

var eventbriteAPI = require('eventbrite');

var token = 'a users eventbrite API token';

try {
    var api = eventbriteAPI({
      token: token,
      version : 'v3'
    });
} catch (error) {
    console.log(error.message); // the options are missing, this function throws an error.
}

api.owned_events({ user_id: 30 }, function (error, data) {
    if (error)
        console.log(error.message);
    else
        console.log(JSON.stringify(data)); // Do something with your data!
});
