Creating an API key

The EventsAir GraphQL API is currently available to customers who have signed up to be early adopters. Please join the early adopters to ensure that you can access the API and provide feedback to help us improve it.

To use use the EventsAir GraphQL API, you will need an API key, (consisting of a Client ID and a Client Secret) for your application.

You can create an API key within the EventsAir user interface, much like you would create a user account to work with the platform.
