Ticketmaster
Ticketmaster is one of the most popular ticketing platforms for events, tours, and concerts. By integrating with Ticketmaster, you can access the upcoming events in your area by going to the Events tab found on the Artist screen. Clicking on an event will take you to the corresponding webpage where you can purchase tickets and learn more about the event.
Setup
The only required configuration for this integration is the TICKETMASTER_API_KEY environment variable. To get your API key, create a free developer account. A default app will be created and approved for you, which you can find under the My Apps tab. Feel free to rename it to something more descriptive.
Copy the Consumer Key and paste it into the TICKETMASTER_API_KEY environment variable in your .env file:
TICKETMASTER_API_KEY=sample-qJraSgjtTrHbdzEwyfW6yqKowcFGmFbiThis is all you need to get started. Reload the server, and you should see the Events tab appear on any Artist screen.
(Slightly More) Advanced Configuration
By default, Koel will search for events in the United States. If you want to search for events in a different country, set the TICKETMASTER_DEFAULT_COUNTRY_CODE environment variable in your .env file to that country's two-letter code. For example, to search for events in Germany, set the variable to DE.
If you want to search for events in the user's country, Koel can make use of IPinfo's API. IPinfo is a popular geolocation service with a generous free ("Lite") plan. After registering for the Lite plan, you can find your token under the API Token tab.
Populate this token in the IPINFO_TOKEN environment variable in your .env file:
IPINFO_TOKEN=sample-52d06efe5f5b10dReload the server, and Koel will attempt to look up the user's country by sending their IP address (and only that) to IPinfo's API. If successful, Koel will use the detected country code to search for events. If not, it will fall back to the default country code, which in turn defaults to US as described above.
