Prerequisites

Before creating a Ticketmaster credential, you need to obtain your API URL, Vendor, DSN (Data Source Name), CRM ID (icmcrmId), and API Key Value from your Ticketmaster account. Ticketmaster uses API key authentication for all API requests, with the API key sent in the apikey header.

To obtain your Ticketmaster credentials, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your Ticketmaster account using your administrator credentials.

2. Navigate to your account settings or API management section in the Ticketmaster interface.

3. Look for the API or Integration section in your account settings, or navigate to Settings > API or Admin > API Settings.

4. If you don't have API credentials yet, look for the option to create or register an API application or integration.

5. Configure your API integration settings:

   • Enter a name for the integration (e.g., "Nexla Integration")
   • Review and select the permissions or scopes for the integration (if applicable)

6. After the integration is created, you will be provided with your API Key Value. Copy the API key immediately, as it may not be accessible again after you navigate away from the page.

7. Your API URL is typically in the format https://app.ticketmaster.com/archtics-integration/external/v1/crm. This is the base URL for Ticketmaster API requests.

8. Your Vendor is the vendor identifier provided by Ticketmaster for your integration. This should be obtained from your Ticketmaster account settings or API documentation.

9. Your DSN (Data Source Name) is the data source name identifier provided by Ticketmaster for your integration. This should be obtained from your Ticketmaster account settings or API documentation.

10. Your CRM ID (icmcrmId) is the CRM identifier provided by Ticketmaster for your integration. This should be obtained from your Ticketmaster account settings or API documentation.

11. Store all credentials securely, as you will need them to configure your Nexla credential. The API Key Value, Vendor, DSN, and CRM ID are sensitive information and should be kept confidential.

The API Key Value is sent in the apikey header for all API requests to the Ticketmaster API. The API URL, Vendor, DSN, and CRM ID are used to construct API requests and identify your integration. The credentials authenticate your requests and grant access to Ticketmaster resources based on your account permissions. If your credentials are compromised, you should immediately revoke them in your Ticketmaster account settings and generate new ones. For detailed information about API authentication, credential management, and available endpoints, refer to the Ticketmaster API documentation.

Create a credential in Nexla

1. To create a new Ticketmaster credential, after selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

New Credential Overlay – Ticketmaster

2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

3. Enter your Ticketmaster API URL in the API URL field. This is typically in the format https://app.ticketmaster.com/archtics-integration/external/v1/crm. The API URL is used as the base URL for all API requests to the Ticketmaster API.

4. Enter your Ticketmaster Vendor in the Vendor field. This is the vendor identifier provided by Ticketmaster for your integration. The Vendor is used to identify your integration in API requests.

5. Enter your Ticketmaster DSN (Data Source Name) in the DSN field. This is the data source name identifier provided by Ticketmaster for your integration. The DSN is sent in the DSN header for all API requests to the Ticketmaster API.

6. Enter your Ticketmaster CRM ID (icmcrmId) in the CRM ID field. This is the CRM identifier provided by Ticketmaster for your integration. The CRM ID is sent in the icmcrmId header for all API requests to the Ticketmaster API.

7. Enter your Ticketmaster API Key Value in the API Key Value field. This is the API key you obtained from your Ticketmaster account settings (Settings > API or Admin > API Settings) when creating your API integration. The API Key Value is sent in the apikey header for all API requests to the Ticketmaster API. The API Key Value is sensitive information and must be kept confidential.

   Your Ticketmaster API credentials can be found in your Ticketmaster account settings under Settings > API or Admin > API Settings. The API Key Value is generated when you create an API integration. The API URL, Vendor, DSN, and CRM ID are provided by Ticketmaster for your integration.

   The API Key Value is sent in the apikey header for all API requests to the Ticketmaster API. The API URL, Vendor, DSN, and CRM ID are used to construct API requests and identify your integration. The DSN and CRM ID are sent in the DSN and icmcrmId headers respectively.

   If your credentials are compromised, you should immediately revoke them in your Ticketmaster account settings and generate new ones. The credentials provide access to your Ticketmaster account data and should be treated as sensitive information. Keep your credentials secure and do not share them publicly.

   For detailed information about API authentication, credential management, and available endpoints, see the Ticketmaster API documentation.

8. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.

Use as a data source

To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the Ticketmaster connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to your Ticketmaster account, and click Next; or, create a new Ticketmaster credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common Ticketmaster endpoints. Each template is designed specifically for the corresponding Ticketmaster endpoint, making data source setup easy and efficient. 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.

List all records

This endpoint template returns a list of records of a selected resource from your Ticketmaster account. Use this template when you need to access CRM resource data, ticket information, or event data for analysis, reporting, or integration purposes.

• Enter the Name of the CRM Resource in the Name of the CRM Resource field. This should be the type of CRM resource you want to retrieve (e.g., availSeats, events, tickets, etc.). The CRM Resource Type determines which type of records will be retrieved. Available resource types include availSeats, events, tickets, and other CRM resources. The endpoint uses incrementing page-based pagination to handle large datasets efficiently, returning up to 100 records per page by default, starting from page 0.

This endpoint returns a list of records of a selected resource from your Ticketmaster account, including resource IDs, names, and other resource metadata. The endpoint uses incrementing page-based pagination with page and size parameters to handle large datasets efficiently. Nexla will automatically fetch subsequent pages of data by incrementing the page parameter, starting from page 0.

The CRM Resource Type can be selected from available options (e.g., availSeats, events, tickets, etc.). The endpoint uses the API URL, Vendor, DSN, and CRM ID from your credential to construct the API request. For detailed information about CRM resources, API response structures, pagination, and available resource types, see the Ticketmaster API documentation.

Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu to retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched. Sample data will be displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration

Ticketmaster data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Ticketmaster API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom query parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

Ticketmaster API typically uses the GET method for retrieving data from an API URL such as {api_url}/{resource_type}?vendor={vendor}. Use a Response Data Path such as $._embedded.{resource_type}[*] to extract items from the embedded resource array (e.g., $._embedded.availSeats[*], $._embedded.events[*]), or $[*] depending on your endpoint, and configure incrementing page-based pagination using the page and size parameters (up to 100 records per page, starting from page 0). The DSN and CRM ID from your credential are automatically included in the request headers, so you do not need to include them again in Request Headers.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Next button to proceed with the rest of the data flow configuration, or click Save to save the data source configuration for later use.
