Swapping

Swapping tickets

After checking the validity of the barcode as shown in the previous section, the ticket for which the barcode was issued can be swapped. The swap of a ticket is contained within a single endpoint. For this, you need the following information:

• barcode: the original issued barcode of the ticket.
• firstname: the first name of the resale customer.
• lastname: the last name of the resale customer.
• email: the email of the resale customer.

Use this information to create a POST request to https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/swap. The following code block shows some examples of such a request.

PHP

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
    "Authorization: Bearer $accessToken"
  ],
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => [
    "ticket" => [
      "barcode" => "TTZ2PM9NGRJXAUTWHHW"
    ],
    "customer" => [
      "firstname" => "John",
      "lastname" => "Appleseed",
      "email" => "john.appleseed@example.com"
    ]
  ],
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/swap"
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

echo $response;

GO

payloadBuf := new(bytes.Buffer)
json.NewEncoder(payloadBuf).Encode({
    "ticket": {
      "barcode": "TTZ2PM9NGRJXAUTWHHW"
    },
    "customer": {
      "firstname": "John",
      "lastname": "Appleseed",
      "email": "john.appleseed@example.com"
    }
})

req, _ := http.NewRequest("PUT", "https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/swap", bytes.NewBuffer(body))

req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken)

resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

respBody, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
fmt.Println(string(respBody))

Node

const options = {
  "method": "POST",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  "body": JSON.stringify({
    "ticket": {
      "barcode": "TTZ2PM9NGRJXAUTWHHW"
    },
    "customer": {
      "firstname": "John",
      "lastname": "Appleseed",
      "email": "john.appleseed@example.com"
    }
  })
};

fetch("https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/swap", options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => console.log(response))

Shell

curl -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $accessToken" \
  -d '{
    "ticket": {
      "barcode": "TTZ2PM9NGRJXAUTWHHW"
    },
    "customer": {
      "firstname": "John",
      "lastname": "Appleseed",
      "email": "john.appleseed@example.com"
    }
  }' \
"https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/swap"

This request results in the following response

{
  "valid": true,
  "barcode": "THYWNZYQC7RT3B1",
  "retrievable_after": 0,
  "pdf": "vnxx752bzs4qqpsejpjuj69xi3sdqm3fw34w8qny6szuxdw8h7qa5qyqeageynj54kpoa3c884ujh3ri97nv2m6f8d3fiekyyrup7op8fby86wdodqyt5tmbq4bokhw9"
}

note

The ​Eventix system will not swap a ticket when the provided barcode is invalid.

Fetching PDFs

After swapping a ticket, a new PDF with the reissued barcode will be generated for the resale customer. The pdf field in the swap response lists the location of the PDF in the ​Eventix system. To fetch the newly generated PDF, make a GET request to https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/pdf/:pdf. The following code block shows some examples of such a request.

PHP

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
    "Authorization: Bearer $accessToken"
  ],
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/pdf/$pdf"
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

echo $response;

GO

req, _ := http.NewRequest("PUT", "https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/pdf/" + pdf, bytes.NewBuffer(body))

req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken)

resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

respBody, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
fmt.Println(string(respBody))

Node

const options = {
  "method": "GET",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${accessToken}`
  }
};

fetch(`https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/pdf/${pdf}`, options)
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(response => console.log(response))

Shell

curl -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $accessToken" \
"https://api.eventix.io/ticketswap/pdf/$pdf"

The response to this request is a 202 ACCEPTED if the PDF is still being generated. Otherwise, the ​Eventix system will redirect you to the contents of the PDF.
