Oveit API documentation

Welcome to the Oveit API documentation website. You can use our API to access organizer-specific Oveit functions, such as fetching event information, checking in ticket codes, and more.

Introduction

All API methods will be called via POST requests to https://l.oveit.com/api/[endpoint].

The server will always reply with a 200 OK HTTP status code, even when there was an API error, except when the authentication token is invalid or has expired, in which case the server will send a 403 Forbidden status.

All API methods will respond with a JSON result. In case an error occurs, the response will contain an error key:

{
    "error": "This ticket does not exist"
}

Authentication

Most API methods expect a valid authorization token parameter. To obtain an access token, send a POST request to the seller/login endpoint with your organizer credentials. Use the resulting access token as a parameter for all subsequent API calls.

HTTP request

POST https://l.oveit.com/api/seller/login

Request parameters

Parameter	Description
email	Your organizer account email address
password	Your password

Response example

{
   "token": "f18bf1bf246affb8",
   "user": {
      "id": 1,
      "email": "oveit@account.com",
      "seller_id ": 1,
      "role": "user",
      "role_acl_type": "event_checkin",
      "role_acl_name": "Event checkin staff",
      "permissions": [

         "rfid_pairing"
      ]
   },
   "expires_at": "2020-04-08 07:54:26",
   "expires_in": 172800 
}

Note

Access tokens expire in 48 hours, but each API call made using a particular token resets this timer. This means each token expires after 48 hours since the last API call.

Headers

The language in which response are returned can be changed if you use the Accept-Language header. Available languages: en, de, es, fr, ja, nl

Accept-Language: en

As an alternative to sending the token in the request body, you can also use the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer [token]

Password recovery

POST https://l.oveit.com/api/seller/recover_password

Request parameters
