StubHub scraper API
StubHub API for event discovery
The StubHub API is built for event discovery. Each event has its id, name, page URL, start date and time, venue, city and image. StubHub shows ticket prices and listings only behind a bot wall, so this API returns no prices. It does not duplicate a price API: it lists which events exist and where.
Search around a supported city or any coordinates, with start and end date and a category.
Search by keyword for the first 20 matches.
Only events that start on a requested day are returned.
Failed requests and empty pages are never billed.
