Eventbrite
Access the Eventbrite API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage events, venues, ticket classes, orders, attendees, and more.
Quick Start
# Get current user
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/eventbrite/v3/users/me/')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Base URL
https://gateway.maton.ai/eventbrite/{native-api-path}
Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Eventbrite API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to www.eventbriteapi.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.
Authentication
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Getting Your API Key
- Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
- Go to maton.ai/settings
- Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Eventbrite OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

Specifying Connection
If you have multiple Eventbrite connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/eventbrite/v3/users/me/')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'a2dd9063-64b4-4fe2-b4c5-8dd711648244')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Notes
- All endpoint paths should end with a trailing slash (
/) - Event creation requires an organization - use organization-based endpoints
- Legacy user-based event endpoints are deprecated; use organization equivalents
- Timestamps are in ISO 8601 format (UTC)
- Currency amounts are in minor units (cents) - e.g., "USD,2500" = $25.00
- Rate limit: 1,000 calls per hour, 48,000 calls per day
- Event Search API is no longer publicly available (deprecated February 2020)
- IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use
curl -gwhen URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to
jqor other commands, environment variables like$MATON_API_KEYmay not expand correctly in some shell environments
Error Handling
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 400 | Missing Eventbrite connection or invalid arguments |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 403 | Not authorized (check scopes or use organization endpoints) |
| 404 | Resource not found |
| 429 | Rate limited |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Eventbrite API |
Common Errors
NOT_AUTHORIZED with legacy user endpoints:
json
{"status_code": 403, "error": "NOT_AUTHORIZED", "error_description": "This user is not able to use legacy user endpoints, please use the organization equivalent."}
Solution: Use /organizations/{org_id}/events/ instead of /users/me/owned_events/
Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
- Check that the
MATON_API_KEYenvironment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
- Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name
- Ensure your URL path starts with
eventbrite. For example:
- Correct:
https://gateway.maton.ai/eventbrite/v3/users/me/ - Incorrect:
https://gateway.maton.ai/v3/users/me/
