Using the API to retrieve data

Jump to bottom
Mike Smedley edited this page Dec 5, 2016 · 3 revisions

Once you have received your free API key, you can start to request data from the API.

The URL of each request consists of our hostname, the endpoint, and a list of arguments passed as GET parameters.

For example:

https://www.skiddle.com/api/v1/events/search/?order=goingto&limit=10&ticketsavailable=1&EventCode=FEST&api_key=abcdefghijklm

Here, the hostname is https://www.skiddle.com, the endpoint is /api/v1/events/search/, and the arguments are everything after the question mark. Each request requires an API key to be passed with a key labelled api_key.

All responses will be returned in text/json format. Successful responses will return a 200 HTTP header, errors/failed responses will return with a 400 HTTP header, along with details of the error encountered.

The API is open to any language capable of formatting and calling the above URL structure, and receiving and parsing JSON data. Whilst we currently have no plans for any future SDK's, we have released a PHP SDK which helps make everything even simpler for you.
