Event Brite QR code

Question

I've dug through the methods in Event Brite API but can't find any reference to QR codes generated by Eventbrite in their native IOS app.

http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/#methods

without reverse engineering it or sniffing the web urls - can anyone shed some light on how to do this?

Answer 1

Eventbrite barcode information is a sensitive issue - but, Eventbrite is happy to discuss specifics over email

If you just want to build a list of QR codes for the current event owner, you should be able to generate them from the barcode_ids returned from the event_list_attendees API call.

Answer 2

I know this is an old thread, but I'm trying to use the Eventbrite barcodes to check visitors in. @johndpope - did you get any further in your quest?

The codes on each ticket are not QR Codes, but Datamatrix (for reading by the iOS/Android app) and Code 128 (I think). Both codes on the ticket (and incidently, the QR Code on Conferencebadge.com's app) are simply numeric and take the following form...

{OrderID}{AttendeeID}{Seq}

for example

123456789 123456789 001 (no spaces)

Any bit of barcode generating code can recreate these, but checking people in without an API method is a bit harder. The iOS/Android app rightly uses HTTPS and you need to be authenticated to the website to use the checkin_update URL used by the website.
