In Nexla, Eventbrite data sources can be created using pre-built endpoint templates, which expedite source setup for common Eventbrite API endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding Eventbrite endpoint, making source configuration easy and efficient.
• To configure this source using a template, follow the instructions in Configure Using a Template.Eventbrite sources can also be configured manually, allowing you to ingest data from Eventbrite endpoints not included in the pre-built templates or apply further customizations to exactly suit your needs.
• To configure this source manually, follow the instructions in Configure Manually.
Configure Using a Template
Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common Eventbrite endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding Eventbrite API endpoint, making data source setup easy and efficient.
Endpoint Settings
- Select the endpoint from which this source will fetch data from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Available endpoint templates are listed in the expandable boxes below. Click on an endpoint to see more information about it and how to configure your data source for this endpoint.
Endpoint Testing
Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, Nexla can retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched according to the current settings. This allows users to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.
-
To test the current endpoint configuration, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu. Sample data will be fetched & displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right.
-
If the sample data is not as expected, review the selected endpoint and associated settings, and make any necessary adjustments. Then, click the Test button again, and check the sample data to ensure that the correct information is displayed.
Configure Manually
Eventbrite data sources can be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Eventbrite API endpoint. Manual configuration provides maximum flexibility for accessing endpoints not covered by pre-built templates or when you need custom API configurations.
With manual configuration, you can also create more complex Eventbrite sources, such as sources that use chained API calls to fetch data from multiple endpoints or sources that require custom request parameters.
API Method
-
To manually configure this source, select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen.
-
Select the API method that will be used for calls to the Eventbrite API from the Method pulldown menu. The Eventbrite REST API uses the following methods:
- GET: For retrieving data from the API (the most common method for data source use cases)
- POST: For sending data to the API or triggering actions (less common for data source flows)
API Endpoint URL
-
Enter the URL of the Eventbrite API endpoint from which this source will fetch data in the Set API URL field. All Eventbrite API v3 endpoints follow the base URL format
https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/. For example:https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/users/me/organizations/— List organizations for the authenticated userhttps://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/organizations/{'{organization_id}'}/events/— List events for a specific organizationhttps://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/{'{event_id}'}/attendees/— List attendees for a specific event
The Eventbrite API Reference is available at the Eventbrite Platform API documentation. Use it to explore all available endpoints and their supported query parameters.
Date/Time Macros (API URL)
Optionally, the API URL can be customized using macros—all macros added to the API URL will be converted into values when Nexla executes the API call. Macros are dynamic placeholders that allow you to create flexible API endpoints that can adapt to different time periods or data requirements.
Date/time macros are particularly useful when filtering Eventbrite endpoints by date ranges—for example, fetching only events or orders created after a specific date.
-
To add a macro, type
{at the appropriate position in the API URL (within the Set API URL field), and select the desired macro from the dropdown list.{now}– The current datetime{now-1}– The datetime one time unit before the current datetime{now+1}– The datetime one time unit after the current datetimecustom– Datetime macros can reference any number of time units before or after the current datetime—for example, enter(now-4)to indicate the datetime four time units before the current datetime
-
Select the format that will be applied to datetime macros from the Date Format for Date/Time Macro pulldown menu. This format will be applied to the base datetime value of the macro—i.e., the value of
{now}in{now-1}. -
Select the datetime unit that will be used to perform mathematical operations in the included macro(s) from the Time Unit for Operations pulldown menu—for example, for the macro
{now-1}, whenDayis selected,{now-1}will be converted to the datetime one day before the current datetime.
Lookup-Based Macros (API URL)
Column values from existing lookups can also be included as macros in the API URL. Lookup-based macros allow you to reference data from previously configured data sources or lookups, enabling dynamic API endpoints that can adapt based on existing data.
Lookup-based macros are particularly useful for Eventbrite endpoints that require IDs—for example, dynamically substituting organization IDs or event IDs sourced from a previous Nexla data source into the API URL.
-
To include a lookup column value macro, select the relevant lookup from the Add Lookups to Supported Macros pulldown menu.
-
Type
{at the appropriate position in the API URL, and select the lookup column-based macro from the dropdown list. Lookup-based macros are automatically populated into the macro list when a lookup is selected in the Add Lookups to Supported Macros pulldown menu.
Path to Data
If only a subset of the data that will be returned by the API endpoint is needed, you can designate the part(s) of the response that should be included in the Nexset(s) produced from this source by specifying the path to the relevant data within the response.
The Eventbrite API returns JSON responses that typically wrap arrays of records inside a named key. For example, a request to the events endpoint returns a JSON object with an events array containing the event records, along with a pagination object. By specifying the path to the events array, Nexla treats each element of that array as an individual record.
Path to Data is essential when ingesting list responses from Eventbrite. Without specifying the correct path, Nexla may treat the entire response object (including pagination metadata) as a single record rather than parsing individual records from the list.
-
To specify which data should be treated as relevant in responses from this source, enter the path to the relevant data in the Set Path to Data in Response field.
-
For responses in JSON format enter the JSON path that points to the object or array that should be treated as relevant data. Common Eventbrite JSON paths include:
$.events[*]— for event list responses$.attendees[*]— for attendee list responses$.orders[*]— for order list responses$.organizations[*]— for organization list responses$.ticket_classes[*]— for ticket class list responses$— for single-record responses (e.g., Retrieve a Single Event by ID)
Path to Data Example:If the API response is the Eventbrite attendee list endpoint, the response contains a top-level array named
attendees. Enter$.attendees[*]as the Path to Data to instruct Nexla to treat each element of that array as a separate attendee record. -
Autogenerate Path Suggestions
Nexla can also autogenerate data path suggestions based on the response from the API endpoint. These suggested paths can be used as-is or modified to exactly suit your needs.
-
To use this feature, click the Test button next to the Set API URL field to fetch a sample response from the API endpoint. Suggested data paths generated based on the content & format of the response will be displayed in the Suggestions box below the Set Path to Data in Response field.
-
Click on a suggestion to automatically populate the Set Path to Data in Response field with the corresponding path. The populated path can be modified directly within the field if further customization is needed.

Metadata
If metadata is included in the response but is located outside of the defined path to relevant data, you can configure Nexla to include this data as common metadata in each record.
Eventbrite list responses include a pagination object at the top level alongside the data array. This pagination object contains fields like object_count, page_count, page_size, and continuation (the pagination cursor). You can capture this context as metadata by specifying its path in the Path to Metadata in Response field.
Including Eventbrite pagination metadata with each record is useful when you want to preserve context about the total result set size alongside individual records—for example, recording how many total attendees an event had as part of each attendee record.
-
To specify the location of metadata that should be included with each record, enter the path to the relevant metadata in the Path to Metadata in Response field.
- For responses in JSON format, enter the JSON path to the object that contains the metadata. For Eventbrite responses, the pagination metadata is located at
$.pagination.
- For responses in JSON format, enter the JSON path to the object that contains the metadata. For Eventbrite responses, the pagination metadata is located at
Request Headers
-
If Nexla should include any additional request headers in API calls to this source, enter the headers & corresponding values as comma-separated pairs in the Request Headers field (e.g.,
header1:value1,header2:value2).You do not need to include the
Authorizationheader in this field—Nexla automatically includes it using the API key from the configured Eventbrite credential. Only add headers that are not already handled by the credential configuration.
Endpoint Testing
After configuring all settings for the selected endpoint, Nexla can retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched according to the current configuration. This allows users to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.
-
To test the current endpoint configuration, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu. Sample data will be fetched & displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right.
-
If the sample data is not as expected, review the selected endpoint and associated settings, and make any necessary adjustments. Then, click the Test button again, and check the sample data to ensure that the correct information is displayed.
Save & Activate the Source
- Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new Eventbrite data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.
