For Agents

Manage event ticketing operations including event creation, pricing, orders, payments, access codes, gate scanning, and discounts. Supports complete ticket lifecycle from sale to entry validation.

Connect the NextEvent API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the NextEvent API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for NextEvent API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for NextEvent API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The NextEvent API enables event organizers to manage the complete ticketing lifecycle for conferences, concerts, sports events, and festivals. It provides programmatic control over event creation, ticket pricing, order processing, payment authorization and settlement, access code generation, gate management for entry scanning, and promotional discount codes. The API supports multi-tenant deployments with customizable hostnames and includes comprehensive order management with rebooking and cancellation workflows.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use NextEvent API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Concert Ticket Sales

Event promoters can sell concert tickets through multiple channels using the NextEvent API. The API handles event creation with categories (VIP, General Admission, Standing), dynamic pricing, basket management with automatic expiration, payment authorization, and ticket generation with unique access codes. Order processing supports rebooking for date changes and cancellation workflows with refunds. Integration takes 2-3 days for basic checkout or 4-5 days for custom booking flows with promotional codes.

Create an event for a concert with 3 ticket categories (VIP at $150, GA at $75, Standing at $50), process an order for 2 VIP tickets, authorize payment, and generate access codes

Conference Badge Management

Conference organizers use the NextEvent API to manage attendee registration and badge validation. The API supports creating events with speaker, exhibitor, and attendee categories, setting up early-bird and group discount codes, processing bulk orders, and generating access codes linked to badge QR codes. Gate devices log entry scans in real-time, enabling capacity tracking and duplicate entry prevention. Device authentication ensures only authorized scanners can validate badges at each gate.

Create a conference event with 3 registration types, set up a 20% early-bird discount code, process 50 attendee registrations, and retrieve scan logs for the main entrance gate

Festival Multi-Day Pass Sales

Festival organizers can sell multi-day passes and single-day tickets using the NextEvent API's flexible pricing and category system. The API handles complex scenarios like family packages (multiple tickets in one order), VIP upgrades through rebooking, refund requests through cancellation workflows, and entry validation across multiple festival gates over multiple days. Base categories and base prices enable consistent pricing across event dates while allowing per-event overrides.

Create a 3-day festival with single-day and weekend pass pricing, process an order for a weekend pass, rebook it to upgrade to VIP access, and track entry scans across all 3 festival gates

AI Agent Event Operations

AI agents use the NextEvent API through Jentic to automate event operations tasks like monitoring ticket sales, processing refunds, generating promotional codes, and analyzing entry patterns. Agents search by intent (e.g., 'process a ticket refund') and Jentic returns the matching operation with input schemas. Credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem) - agents receive scoped tokens, never raw API keys. Direct NextEvent integration requires 3-5 days for auth, webhook setup, and error handling. Through Jentic: under 1 hour.

Search for 'process a ticket refund', load the NextEvent cancellation operation schema, and execute a refund request for order ID ord_abc123

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

NextEvent basic auth credentials (username and password) are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens - raw credentials never enter the agent's context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'process a ticket order') and Jentic returns matching NextEvent operations with their input schemas, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct NextEvent integration: 3-5 days for auth setup, basket expiration handling, payment workflows, gate device management, and error recovery. Through Jentic: under 1 hour - search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

Stripe API

Payment processing infrastructure often paired with NextEvent for handling payment intents and card charges

Use Stripe when you need advanced payment features like subscriptions, Connect marketplace payouts, or multi-currency support. NextEvent's payment endpoints handle authorization and settlement but lack Stripe's payment method diversity and global payment optimization.

Alternative

Ticketmaster Discovery API

Large-scale ticketing platform for concerts, sports, and entertainment events

Use Ticketmaster Discovery API when you need access to major venue events, pre-sale campaigns, or integration with Ticketmaster's distribution network. Use NextEvent when you need full control over your own event ticketing operations, custom pricing workflows, or white-label ticketing solutions.

Complementary

Square API

Point-of-sale and commerce platform for in-person and online payments

Use Square when you need unified payment processing across online and in-person sales, inventory management, or retail POS integration. Pair with NextEvent for event-specific features like gate scanning, access code validation, and multi-category ticket pricing that Square's general commerce APIs don't provide.

FAQs

Specific to using NextEvent API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for NextEvent API?

NextEvent does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call NextEvent API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the NextEvent API use?

The NextEvent API uses HTTP Basic Authentication. Jentic's MAXsystem stores your basic auth credentials encrypted in the vault. AI agents receive scoped access tokens - the raw username and password never enter the agent's context.

Can I process ticket orders and payments with the NextEvent API?

Yes. The API provides order management through basket operations (get, clear, remove items, extend expiration) and payment processing through authorize, settle, and abort endpoints. You can retrieve order details, order tickets, and handle rebooking and cancellation workflows with refunds.

How do I manage access codes and gate scanning with the NextEvent API?

Create access codes for ticket holders using the POST /access-codes endpoint, update them with PUT /access-codes, and track entry validations through scan logs at GET /access-codes/{code}/scan-logs. Configure gates with GET /gates and /gates/{gateId}, and authenticate scanning devices using POST /devices/login and POST /devices/logout.

What are the rate limits for the NextEvent API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Contact NextEvent support or refer to their developer documentation for current rate limit information. Jentic tracks API usage and will surface rate limit errors if encountered.

How do I create discount codes with the NextEvent API through Jentic?

Search for 'create discount code' in Jentic to find the POST /discount-codes operation. The operation returns the schema showing required fields. Execute the call with your discount parameters (code, discount type, amount, validity period). List existing codes with GET /discount-codes and delete with DELETE /discount-codes/{id}.

Can I rebook or cancel orders with the NextEvent API?

Yes. The API supports rebooking through POST /orders/{orderId}/rebook for ticket changes (date, category upgrades), and cancellations through a two-step workflow: POST /orders/{orderId}/cancellation/request to initiate and POST /orders/{orderId}/cancellation/settle to complete the refund.
