If you’re one of those music lovers who spends the entire week debating what band or event you’re going to attend, you know how important it is to find portals and pages with all the information you need about the cultural offers around.
Today’s information is so dispersed across a wide range of websites, music blogs, advertisements, and social media platforms that it can be difficult to ensure that you have access to all the specifics of the artists who will perform in your city this weekend. You must have encountered the scenario in which, after choosing some events that you weren’t entirely confident in, you subsequently learn that one of your favorite artists performed nearby and you were left feeling let down.
That’s because the use of social networks substantially changed how musicians and event organisers advertised their gigs and events. They are no longer in a contest to place a newspaper ad or sponsor the most popular radio program. They are content to continue sharing stories on their official Instagram account and to wait for their friends to repost them so that more people can learn about the news.
Fortunately, there are several APIs on the market that can be used to gather information from the internet while looking for concert and musical event notifications. By completing a short search in one of those, you can find out about all the musical events happening in your city or all the performances that a particular musician will be presenting.
Music Gigs and Concerts Tracker API
The first is a very user-friendly API that serves the basic needs of everyone who wants to know the concerts scheduled within a sphere of influence or the future performances of a specific artist. With just a quick search, the Music Gigs and Concerts Tracker API can reveal details about a band’s forthcoming dates, the venue’s capacity, ticket sales, and other essential directions.
Due to how simple it is to integrate, numerous blogs or music pages use it to update their information on the most well-known performers.
Music Gigs and Concerts Tracker API offers a variety of options with the use of the API depending on the quantity of searches to be made.
A ticket search engine called SeatGeek compiles listings for sports, concerts, and theatrical events from sites like StubHub, eBay, TicketsNow, and many others. To make it simple to evaluate the ticket quality, the website also includes interactive seating diagrams. The best-value tickets for an event are determined using the company’s Deal Score system. It predicts how ticket prices will change over time using proprietary algorithms, allowing users to purchase when costs are lowest. Developers get access to the SeatGeek dataset of live events through the company’s API. The RESTful API may give comprehensive data about venue lat/lon, average ticket price, seating position, and more. Requests are returned in JSON, JSONP, and XML.
When looking for answers, SeatGeek’s community site, which preserves a record of all support chats, can be a helpful resource. A website can now make money each time a user from that site purchases tickets thanks to the addition of the SeatGeek Partner Program. SeatGeek will give a partner 50% of the sales made as a result of each recommendation they receive that buys a ticket from SeatGeek.
The Songkick API Track provides customers with access to a sizable live music database that includes over 6 million recent and future performances. The API provides information about recent and impending events as well as user-tracked events. Responses are JSON or XML.
Songkick also offers a variety of ways to use it, such as filtering searches for upcoming events involving a particular artist or that will take place somewhere, or past events, where you can access information on all previous events in which a particular artist has taken part or the number of times a band has performed in a particular location.
