Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been trying to mess around with the StubHub API free version for a side project, and honestly, it’s been a bit of a headache. 😅 Has anyone here actually managed to get it working smoothly? Like, I’m not even sure if I’m using the right endpoints or if I’m just missing something obvious.
Also, is there a way to get more than just the basic data without paying? Or am I stuck with super limited access?
Would love to hear your tips or experiences with the StubHub API free version. Maybe someone’s figured out a workaround or knows a trick or two?
Thanks in advance! 🙏
Hey! I feel your pain with the StubHub API free version. It’s definitely not the most user-friendly thing out there. I managed to get it working by using Postman to test the endpoints first. It helped me figure out what was going wrong with my requests.
As for the data limits, yeah, the free version is pretty restrictive. You might want to check out SeatGeek’s API—it’s a bit more generous with their free tier and has better docs. Good luck!
Oh man, the StubHub API free version is a nightmare. I spent hours trying to get it to work and finally gave up. Ended up scraping data manually for my project (not ideal, I know). If you’re looking for alternatives, Ticketmaster’s API is a bit more polished, but it’s also limited unless you pay.
Hey! I’ve been using the StubHub API free version for a while now. The key is to double-check the authentication process—it’s easy to mess up. Also, their docs are outdated, so I’d recommend using their developer forums for troubleshooting.
For more data, you’re kinda stuck unless you upgrade. But you can try combining it with other APIs like Eventbrite to fill in the gaps.
lol the StubHub API free version is such a pain. I ended up using RapidAPI to access it—it’s a bit easier to manage there. Still, the data is super limited. If you’re just experimenting, maybe try scraping some public event data first to see if it’s worth the hassle.
I feel you! The StubHub API free version is tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it’s not too bad. Make sure you’re using the correct base URL and endpoints—I made that mistake at first.
As for more data, you’re pretty much stuck with the basics unless you pay. But you can try using a proxy to bypass some limits (not sure if it’s allowed tho).
Honestly, the StubHub API free version is a headache. I switched to using their affiliate program instead—it’s way easier to work with and you get more data. Might be worth looking into if your project allows it.
Hey! I’ve been working with the StubHub API free version for a small project. It’s definitely not the best, but it’s doable. I found that using Python’s requests library made things a bit smoother.
For more data, you’re kinda out of luck unless you upgrade. But you can try combining it with other APIs like Bandsintown to get more event details.
Wow, thanks for all the replies, everyone! I didn’t expect so many tips. I tried using Postman like someone suggested, and it’s already helping me debug my requests. Still struggling with the data limits though—guess I’ll have to look into SeatGeek or Ticketmaster as alternatives.
Also, the proxy idea is interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s worth the risk. Has anyone actually tried it with the StubHub API free version? Would love to hear if it worked for you!
