Eventbrite API: is there a way to access the waitlist?

Question

We use EventBrite for managing some free events: works great.

We also make extensive use of the waitlist feature.

I would like to script the synchronisation of the EventBrite ticket list contacts (sold and waitlist) with another system.

(yes, I know, I can manage contacts in EventBrite. But we have an existing system and I want to keep using that)

There does not appear to be an obvious way to retrieve any information about people on the waitlist via the API? Is this possible?

Answer 1

Each of the available API access methods are listed here: http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/#methods

Waitlists are not currently available.

Answer 2

This should do the trick. Run it in your web browser to see an xml list of all attendees:

https://www.eventbrite.com/xml/event_list_attendees?id=123456&app_key=your_app_key

You'll have to signup for a developer's key to run the query though: https://www.eventbrite.com/api/key/

The down and dirty method to get the eventID to make sure it's working is to view the page source of your EventBrite page, and search for "eventID" or "eid".

You can get the event id through the EventBrite API as well: http://developer.eventbrite.com/doc/events/
