Below are a few updates for the TicketStumbler API.
Further details are available at http://ticketstumbler.com/api/docs/
I spent a few days putting together a couple small services which highlight some of the capabilities provided by the TicketStumbler API. These were services we wanted to offer anyway, so we figured it’d be cool to show off the API by releasing them both under the MIT License rather than rolling them directly into TS.
The first app is Seats Tweets. This app is quite simple, in fact it doesn’t have a “backend” whatsoever, just some HTML, CSS, and a small Python script. Simply put, it sends out tweets about upcoming sports games (MLB, NBA, and NHL currently) and ticket pricing, it then links back to TS (imagine that!) where you can get tickets. It’s a really simple and non-intrusive way to keep up to date with who’s playing around you, and how cheaply you can see ‘em.
The second app is Inboxtix. This fills a gap left by Seats Tweets in that it allows you to subscribe (via e-mail) to any team, artist, performer, sport [...] that you want. Again, it is rather simple: sign up and it’ll send you e-mails with ticket data for upcoming games, performances, etc.
As I said, we’ve made both these apps completely free to alter and reuse to your heart’s content. Both are available via my github page which, in time, I hope to add even more useful software to. I’ve been lax in my Open Source duties this past year and I hope to eventually have time to rectify that. For now, this will have to suffice. Even if you don’t have a use for the source, it’s still a good opportunity to insult my code 
All feedback regarding these can be sent to api [at] ticketstumbler [dot] com. Let us know what else you want from these apps!
TicketStumbler is now included in the event listings found at Fwix.com. What is Fwix? Fwix is a very cool startup focused on providing people with photos, videos, events, articles, reviews and music based on your geo-location. To do this, Fwix pulls from thousands of sources like Yelp, Twitter, local newspapers, Zvents and now, TicketStumbler. Fwix is great for figuring out what’s going on around you especially if you’re as clueless about local happenings as I am.
Fwix’s CEO and founder, Darian Shirazi has been very responsive and helpful. And we like him even more because he was one of the first people to put the TicketStumbler API to good use (hint, hint to the rest of you). Finally, here’s a sample of Fwix’s event listings sprinkled with TS goodness.
That’s right folks, it’s a going-out-of-business sale here at TicketStumbler and ALL DATA MUST GO! (even though we’re really staying in business; semantics!)
We thought it would be really cool to build a free, easy API. So we did. What you do with the data is up to you, but we hope you use it to make something awesome! To get started, read the API Documentation.
This API was brought to you so speedily (3 days development time!) with the help of wapi. Thanks for the great (also free) software, Alberto!
