Backstage API
The Backstage API is Ticketlayer's primary API for event management, ticketing, venues, and organisation management. It powers the Manage app and is used for all backend integrations.
Authentication
All API requests require authentication using a Bearer token. Include your access token in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
Most endpoints also require the X-Ticketlayer-Org header to specify which organisation
you're operating on.
Getting Started
- Login to get an access token
- Include the token in your requests
- Start making API calls!
SDKs
We provide official SDKs for:
- Backstage SDK (TypeScript/JavaScript)
- Go (coming soon)
The code examples in this documentation show usage for both direct API calls and SDK methods.
