}About the axs.com API
The AXS API exposes 5 endpoints covering event search, detailed event records, city listings, featured events, and category browsing from AXS.com. The search_events endpoint returns matched events, venues, and performers in a single response, each with its own paginated results array. Event records include ticketing status, performer media, venue geo-coordinates, and start datetimes — enough to build a full event discovery or ticketing availability tool.
Event Search and Discovery
The search_events endpoint accepts a free-text query alongside optional lat/lng coordinates and a category filter (Music, Sports, or ArtsOrFamily). It returns three parallel result sets: events (with eventTitle, venue, performers, and a unique id), venues (with venueId, venueTitle, address, and geo coordinates), and performers (with performerId, performerTitle, and media). Each set includes a total count and supports pagination via page and results parameters.
Event Detail and Category Browsing
get_event_detail takes a required event_id (numeric string) and an optional slug — the URL slug significantly improves lookup reliability. The response wraps a details object containing eventTitle, venue, performers, ticketingStatusText, relatedMedia, and date fields, along with a full AXS page url and the resolved slug. For broader discovery, get_events_by_category accepts a required category and an optional subcategory string to narrow by genre or sub-type, returning event objects with titleLocalized, venueTitleLocalized, startDatetime, and pricing info sourced from Veritix.
Location Utilities
list_cities returns all AXS-supported cities with cityNameLocalized, stateNameLocalized, countryNameLocalized, geo coordinates, and country/state codes. Passing lat/lng sorts results by distance. get_featured_events surfaces homepage-promoted events for a given location (defaulting to New York if no coordinates are supplied), returning an array with titleLocalized, venueTitleLocalized, startDatetime, media, and Veritix pricing data alongside a numberOfResults count.
- Build a local event calendar by querying
get_events_by_categorywith user coordinates and a Music or Sports category filter. - Display real-time ticketing availability by pulling
ticketingStatusTextfromget_event_detailfor specific event IDs. - Populate a venue directory using the
venuesmatches fromsearch_events, including address and geo fields. - Create a performer profile page by extracting
performerTitleandmediafrom theperformersarray in search results. - Show featured events on a geo-aware landing page using
get_featured_eventswith the visitor's lat/lng. - Support city-picker UI components with the full city list and coordinates returned by
list_cities. - Track event availability changes by polling
get_event_detailforticketingStatusTexton a set of monitored event IDs.

Does AXS have an official developer API?+
What does `search_events` return for a keyword query, and can I filter by location?+
events, venues, and performers, each with their own matches array and a total count. You can pass lat and lng to bias results geographically, and use category to restrict to Music, Sports, or ArtsOrFamily. Pagination is controlled via page and results parameters.Does the API expose individual ticket seat maps or per-seat pricing breakdowns?+
ticketingStatusText and Veritix pricing info at the event level, but seat-level maps and per-row pricing are not part of any endpoint's response shape. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add an endpoint targeting seat-map data if that granularity is needed.How reliable is the `event_id` alone for looking up event details?+
event_id to get_event_detail can occasionally return ambiguous results. The slug parameter (the URL slug from an AXS event page, e.g. taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-tickets) is strongly recommended alongside the ID to ensure the correct event record is returned.Does the API cover events outside the United States?+
list_cities returns cities with countryCode fields indicating international coverage, and search_events with coordinates can return non-US results where AXS operates. However, coverage depth varies by market and is determined by what AXS.com lists in a given region — there is no explicit international-only filter. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add region-scoped filtering if your use case is limited to specific countries.
