StubHub is one of the world's largest ticket marketplaces. We build the seller-side integrations around it: listing at volume, pricing, sales handling, and reporting that reconciles.
StubHub connects buyers with sellers across sport, music, and live entertainment worldwide. For professional sellers it is a primary channel, and at any real volume the web interface stops being a workable way to operate.
The API makes that volume manageable: discover events, create and maintain listings, react to sales, and pull the sales and settlement data you need to know whether any of it was profitable. The engineering challenge is less about individual calls and more about keeping a large, constantly changing book of listings accurate and safe.
Reading the documentation is the easy half. These are the areas that decide whether an integration takes weeks or months — and the ones we scope carefully before quoting.
Volume sellers list the same inventory across several marketplaces, which makes this an inventory distribution problem rather than a single-API problem: one source of truth, pushed to many channels, withdrawn everywhere the instant something sells.
We build that layer, and we build it to stop rather than improvise when something upstream looks wrong. An automation that keeps trading on stale data is worse than one that is switched off.
Seller and partner API access depends on your account and agreement with the marketplace rather than being universally available. Establishing exactly what access you have is the first step of any engagement, because it defines what is buildable.
Yes, with mandatory safety rails: a floor, validation of the inputs, and a circuit breaker that aborts the run instead of acting on suspect data. Unbounded automated pricing is one of the easier ways to lose a lot of money quickly.
That is often the most useful thing we do. It requires sales, fees, and genuine inventory cost in one place. Sellers are frequently surprised which parts of the book make money.
Standard, and worth doing. It needs a single inventory source and fast withdrawal across every channel when something sells, or you will oversell.
We can. An unattended trading automation needs monitoring and someone accountable when it stops. We host what we build and alert on it.
We are usually working in several of these at once, which is how we know where each one bites. See all integrations for the full list.
