API Overview

The Drumtix REST API lets you read event data, orders, tickets, attendees, and check-ins programmatically — and make certain writes too. It’s useful for building custom dashboards, syncing data to external tools, or triggering workflows.

API access requires a Pro plan. Keys can be generated in Settings → API.

Authentication

All requests require an API key passed as a Bearer token. See Authentication.

Scopes

Every API key has one or more scopes that control what it can do:

Scope	What it allows
`read`	Read all data (events, orders, tickets, attendees, check-ins, payouts)
`write`	Create and update events and ticket tiers
`checkins:write`	Record check-ins via `POST /checkins`

Rate limits

Requests are rate-limited per key. Limits are returned in response headers:

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Maximum requests per minute for this key type
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Requests remaining in the current window

Read endpoints allow 60 requests/min. Write endpoints allow 10 requests/min. When a limit is hit the API returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header (seconds until reset).

Response format

All responses are JSON. Successful responses wrap data in a data key. Errors return a top-level error string.

// Success
{ "data": { ... } }

// List success
{ "data": [...], "total": 42, "page": 1, "limit": 20 }

// Error
{ "error": "Event not found" }

Pagination

List endpoints accept page (default 1) and limit (default 20, max 100) query parameters:

GET /api/v1/events?page=2&limit=50

The response includes total, page, and limit fields alongside data.
