name: eventbrite
description: "Query eventbrite.com from a shell — your tickets/orders, your organizations' events and attendees via the documented token API (curl), and public event discovery/search via the fpx browser bridge (the search API is WAF-walled and absent from the documented API). Use when you want Eventbrite data without an MCP server, in a script, or one-shot."

# Eventbrite access (curl + fpx)

Two surfaces, two tools — match the tool to reachability:

1. **Documented API `https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3`** — reachable
   server-side with a personal OAuth token. Use plain `curl`. Covers your
   identity, your orders/tickets, organizations you own (events, attendees,
   orders), and any event **by id**. It has **no public event search** —
   Eventbrite removed it from the documented API in 2019.
2. **Consumer site API `https://www.eventbrite.com/api/v3/destination/…`** —
   WAF-blocked for any server-side client (returns an HTML "Whoops!" page).
   Public event **search/discovery** lives only here, so those calls route
   through the user's signed-in browser tab with `fpx`.

## One-time setup

**Token (curl surface):** create a private token at
<https://www.eventbrite.com/platform/api-keys> (free for any Eventbrite
account) and export it as `EVENTBRITE_TOKEN`.

**Bridge (fpx surface):**

```sh
npm install -g @fetchproxy/cli                  # provides `fpx`
fpx profile add eventbrite --domain eventbrite.com
fpx pair -p eventbrite    # prints a pair code → approve in the Transporter popup
```

Requires the **Transporter** extension with Chrome site access for
`eventbrite.com` and an open (signed-in for account data) eventbrite.com tab.
Pairing persists after the first approval.

## Core calls

Token surface — every request is:

```sh
curl -sS "https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/users/me/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVENTBRITE_TOKEN" | jq
```

Bridge surface — stdout is data only, ready for `jq`:

```sh
fpx get 'https://www.eventbrite.com/api/v3/destination/events/?event_ids=<id>&expand=event_sales_status,primary_venue' \
  -p eventbrite | jq '.events[0]'
```

Ready-to-run request bodies and `jq` recipes: `references/token-api.md`
(curl surface) and `references/discovery-api.md` (fpx surface, incl. event
search). Read the relevant reference before composing a call — the search
body shape and the resolve-location-first rule live there.

## Rules

- **Resolve places before searching**: destination search takes place ids,
  not free-text locations — autocomplete first (see `discovery-api.md`).
- **Pagination**: v3 responses carry a `pagination` envelope; loop with
  `?continuation=<token>` while `has_more_items` is true.
- **fpx exit codes**: `2` bridge down (pair/approve in Transporter), `3` bot
  wall (refresh a signed-in eventbrite.com tab), `4` upstream non-2xx.
- **Read-only**: these recipes only read data. The documented API supports
  organizer writes (create/update events etc.) but they are out of scope
  here — don't improvise write calls from this skill.
- Never log or commit the token or captured cookies.
