}About the glastonburyfestivals.co.uk API
The Glastonbury Festival API provides access to 7 endpoints covering historical and current festival lineups, news articles, and venue areas from glastonburyfestivals.co.uk. The get_lineup endpoint returns artist names, stage assignments, days, and set times for a given year, while search_artist lets you find any performer across the full lineup with a case-insensitive substring match.
Lineup Data
The core of this API is lineup retrieval. get_lineup_years returns all available historical years as an array of objects with year (integer) and url (string), giving you a canonical list of valid inputs for year-based endpoints. get_lineup accepts a year parameter and returns an artists array where each entry includes artist, stage, day, timings, and an optional external_link. Note that some historical years may have empty timings fields if that detail was not published on the festival site.
Stage and Artist Search
get_lineup_by_stage reorganizes the same lineup data around the stages dimension: each stage object contains a days array, and within each day an artists array with per-artist timings. This structure suits timetable views or stage-specific scheduling tools. search_artist takes a required query string and an optional year, and returns matching entries from results — each with the same artist, stage, day, timings, and external_link fields — using case-insensitive substring matching.
News and Festival Areas
get_news returns a list of articles from the festival website, each with title, url, date, and image_url (both date and image may be null). To retrieve full article text, pass a URL from get_news results to get_news_detail, which returns title, url, and body as a string. get_areas returns the festival's named zones and sub-areas, each with name and url, plus a sub_areas array for nested locations — useful for mapping stage names in lineup data to their broader festival areas.

Does Glastonbury Festival have an official developer API?+
What does `get_lineup` return for years where set times were not published?+
artists array is still returned with artist, stage, and day fields populated, but the timings field will be an empty string for those entries. The get_lineup_years endpoint lists all available years so you can check coverage before querying a specific year.Does the API return ticket availability or ticket purchase links?+
Can I retrieve news articles from past years or paginate through older posts?+
get_news returns the current articles listed on the festival website's news section; there is no page or before_date parameter to paginate into older archives. get_news_detail fetches the full body of any article whose URL you already have. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add pagination or archive-range parameters.How does `search_artist` handle partial name matches?+
query=arctic will match 'Arctic Monkeys'. The year parameter is optional; if omitted, it defaults to the most recent available year rather than searching across all years simultaneously.
