JavaScript Example

const axios = require('axios');

const EVENTBRITE_TOKEN = 'YOUR_EVENTBRITE_TOKEN';

const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${EVENTBRITE_TOKEN}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
});

// Search for events
async function searchEvents(query, options = {}) {
  const params = {
    q: query,
    'location.address': options.location,
    'location.within': options.radius || '25mi',
    'start_date.range_start': options.startDate,
    'start_date.range_end': options.endDate,
    categories: options.category,
    expand: 'venue,ticket_availability'
  };
  
  const response = await api.get('/events/search/', { params });
  return response.data;
}

// Get event details
async function getEventDetails(eventId) {
  const response = await api.get(`/events/${eventId}/`, {
    params: { expand: 'venue,ticket_availability,organizer' }
  });
  return response.data;
}

// Get event ticket classes
async function getTicketClasses(eventId) {
  const response = await api.get(`/events/${eventId}/ticket_classes/`);
  return response.data.ticket_classes;
}

// Get user's events (as organizer)
async function getMyEvents() {
  const response = await api.get('/users/me/events/', {
    params: { status: 'live' }
  });
  return response.data.events;
}

// Example: Find tech conferences in San Francisco
async function findTechEvents() {
  const events = await searchEvents('technology conference', {
    location: 'San Francisco, CA',
    radius: '50mi'
  });
  
  console.log(`Found ${events.pagination.object_count} events\n`);
  
  for (const event of events.events.slice(0, 5)) {
    console.log(`${event.name.text}`);
    console.log(`Date: ${new Date(event.start.local).toLocaleDateString()}`);
    console.log(`Venue: ${event.venue?.name || 'Online'}`);
    console.log(`Tickets: ${event.ticket_availability?.is_free ? 'Free' : 'Paid'}`);
    console.log(`URL: ${event.url}\n`);
  }
}

findTechEvents();
