The ticket broker API and MCP for inventory tracking, sold data, and alerts
A ticket data API for brokers. Pull the tracked primary inventory and ticket resale data that power Flare, from Ticketmaster, AXS, Tickets.com, and StubHub, into your own scripts and spreadsheets. Or connect your AI agent to Flare with MCP and ask about your events in plain English.
A ticket data API you read, write, and plug into anything
Ticket resale data and primary inventory come from the same engine behind Flare, the ticket broker software thousands of resellers use. It is exposed as plain JSON so your own tools can read the market, write your alerts, and automate the rest.
Read the market in one call
- Event analytics: inventory now and 24h, 7d, 30d ago
- Section-level inventory and pricing
- Real-time seat-level Ticketmaster availability on Advanced

Write your favorites and alerts from code
- Favorite events by ID, or by name, date, and venue
- Drop and low alerts on Ticketmaster and AXS

Plug it into your scripts or your AI agent
- Plain JSON over HTTPS, no SDK required
- A Python example on every endpoint
- MCP for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex
- Your agent asks before it changes anything
Connect your AI agent to Flare
MCP is how AI agents connect to the apps you use. In Flare, open the account menu and click Connect your Agent. Copy the one message it shows and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or another AI agent. The agent sets itself up.
- Ask in plain English to check your watchlist, look up an event, or pull its sold data
- Have it favorite events, set alerts, and turn on sold-data tracking, after it asks you first
- It works in your own account, with the same plan features and caps as the dashboard
- Each connection has its own private key, and you can revoke it in Flare at any time
# In Flare: account menu, Connect your Agent
# Copy the message, paste it into your agent, then ask:
> What's on my watchlist this week?
> Which of my favorites moved the most overnight?
> Show me the Vivid Seats sold data on this event.
> Favorite every upcoming show at this venue.
> Put a drop alert on Section 104 for this show.
I'm about to create a drop alert on Section 104.

Set ticket price alerts from code, then read what fired
Alerts are the same objects you set in Flare, so a script can create them for every event you favorite, and one endpoint returns everything that triggered across your account.
Vivid Seats sold data: price with real sales, not guesses
Pull individual Vivid Seats sales for the events you track, then build your own comps by zone, section, row, and quantity before you list.
Plug the ticket market into the tools you already use
Every endpoint is a plain HTTPS GET or POST, so anything that can make a web request can use it: a Python script, a spreadsheet, an automation, or an AI assistant. Inside Flare, members can also ask the Ticketflipping AI Assistant.
API access and MCP are included with Expert and up
Pick the plan that fits how many calls you make. Each plan includes everything in the plan before it, and the daily API limits go up with each one. Membership caps on favorites and sold-data tracking still apply. Higher and flexible limits are available for custom packages.
