StubHub

StubHub is the world's largest secondary-market ticket marketplace, connecting buyers and sellers of tickets to sports, concerts, theater, and live events. Its official developer platform (developer.stubhub.com, migrated to a v2 API in 2022 on api.stubhub.net) exposes five partner-gated REST APIs — Account, Catalog, Inventory, Sales, and Webhooks — that let approved affiliate and seller-integration partners search events, create and manage seller listings, upload e-tickets, fulfill sales and shipments, view payments, and subscribe to event webhooks. All resources use the application/hal+json (HAL) media type and OAuth2 (client-credentials and authorization-code flows). StubHub is a viagogo company and its official GogoKit SDKs (.NET, Ruby) target the shared HAL API.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles StubHub the way a machine reads it — 37 machine-readable artifacts across 15 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — StubHub scores 47.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 40/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile StubHub

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for StubHub. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 15

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

StubHub Addressess API

The Addressess API from StubHub — 2 operation(s) for addressess.

StubHub Categories API

The Categories API from StubHub — 1 operation(s) for categories.

StubHub E-Tickets API

The E-Tickets API from StubHub — 12 operation(s) for e-tickets.

StubHub Events API

The Events API from StubHub — 7 operation(s) for events.

StubHub ListingConstraints API

The ListingConstraints API from StubHub — 3 operation(s) for listingconstraints.

StubHub PaymentMethods API

The PaymentMethods API from StubHub — 3 operation(s) for paymentmethods.

StubHub Payments API

The Payments API from StubHub — 3 operation(s) for payments.

StubHub Sales API

The Sales API from StubHub — 3 operation(s) for sales.

StubHub SellerEvents API

The SellerEvents API from StubHub — 2 operation(s) for sellerevents.

StubHub SellerListings API

The SellerListings API from StubHub — 9 operation(s) for sellerlistings.

StubHub Shipments API

The Shipments API from StubHub — 6 operation(s) for shipments.

Open Collections 16

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of StubHub, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
