All API integrations Viagogo API

Viagogo API Integration

Viagogo is a global secondary-market ticket exchange. We build the seller-side automation around it — listings, pricing, and fulfilment — and we host and monitor what we build.

Overview

What the Viagogo API actually gives you.

Viagogo, part of the StubHub group, is one of the largest resale marketplaces for event, sport, and entertainment tickets. For anyone selling at volume, the manual workflow does not scale: hundreds of listings across hundreds of events, each needing its price kept competitive as the event approaches.

Integration is about removing that manual work safely. Create and update listings programmatically, respond to sales, and keep pricing current — with guard rails, because an automated pricing mistake on a live marketplace is expensive and fast.

Capabilities

The parts you will actually use.

  • Event & catalogue data — finding the right event to list against, which is less obvious at scale than it sounds.
  • Listing management — create, update, and withdraw listings without touching a web form.
  • Inventory — quantities, seat details, and splits kept accurate as things sell.
  • Pricing updates — repricing across a large book of listings on a schedule or in response to conditions.
  • Sales notifications — a sale pushed into your own operations the moment it happens, rather than discovered later.
  • Fulfilment — the delivery workflow a sale triggers, tracked to completion.
Scope

Where these projects actually get hard.

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.

  • Automated pricing needs hard guard rails. Any repricer must have floors and a safe failure mode. If its inputs are missing or wrong, the correct behaviour is to do nothing — never to guess, and never to drop a price because data was unavailable.
  • Marketplace rules are not optional. Resale platforms have terms about how sellers may interact with them, and they enforce them. We build to the supported interfaces; we do not build things that put an account at risk.
  • Matching inventory to events is error-prone. At volume, identifying the right event unambiguously is a genuine engineering problem, and getting it wrong means selling the wrong thing.
  • Fulfilment is where the money is lost. A sale you do not notice, or cannot deliver against, is worse than no sale. The alerting matters as much as the listing.
  • Rate limits shape the design. Large-scale repricing has to be planned around what the platform permits, not retrofitted when it starts refusing calls.
  • A successful call is not a successful outcome. Reconciling intended state against actual marketplace state is the only way to know it is working.
Multi-marketplace

One inventory, several exchanges.

Sellers at volume rarely live on one marketplace. The same inventory is often listed in several places, which brings back the oldest problem in distribution: never sell the same item twice, and withdraw it everywhere the moment it goes.

That is the same inventory-synchronisation discipline as a travel channel manager, applied to ticketing. It is work we do, and the non-negotiable part is that it fails safe — a broken feed must stop and alert, not keep trading on stale data.

What we build

Work we take on.

  • Listing automation — inventory from your own records onto the marketplace, in bulk, repeatably.
  • Repricing workflows — scheduled price management with floors, caps, and a circuit breaker that halts the run when inputs look wrong.
  • Sales & fulfilment alerting — a sale routed into your operations immediately, with the delivery step tracked.
  • Multi-marketplace sync — one inventory source across several exchanges without double-selling.
  • Reporting — sales, fees, and margin, reconciled against what you actually paid for the inventory.
  • Hosting & monitoring — run on infrastructure we manage, with health checks, because an unattended trading automation is a liability.
FAQ

Common questions

Is there an official API for sellers?

Marketplace API access for sellers is account- and agreement-dependent rather than something anyone can simply switch on. The first thing we do on any engagement is establish what access you actually have, because it determines what can responsibly be built.

Can you automate pricing against competitors?

Yes, with guard rails that are not negotiable: a price floor, a sanity check on the inputs, and a circuit breaker that stops the run rather than acting on bad data. An automation that drops prices because a data source was briefly unavailable can do a lot of damage very quickly.

Will automation put my seller account at risk?

Not if it is built to the interfaces the platform supports. We do not build tooling that drives a seller portal in ways the platform does not sanction, because the consequences land on your account and we would rather protect it. If what you have in mind would need that, we will say so early.

Can you list the same inventory on several marketplaces?

Yes, and that is where most of the value is. It also makes a single source of truth essential, along with fast withdrawal everywhere once something sells.

Can you take over an automation we already have?

Yes. Reviewing and hardening an existing automation — usually adding the fail-safes and the monitoring it never had — is a common engagement, and cheaper than a rebuild.
