Ticket PDF

If you wish to use your own ticket PDF instead of the one we provide, you must provide the URL of it in the ticket inside props.urls.qrTicketPdfUrl.

Additionally, to use this functionality, you must inform your Account Manager.

Integration Examples

To create tickets with the PDF URL, you should use the following endpoint:

cURL

Here is an example of how to notify Menta about the issuance of a ticket with the PDF URL, using fictitious data, with cURL.

curl -X POST 'https://api.mentatickets.com/v1/tickets'
-H 'Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY'
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
--data-raw '[
    {
        "ticketOptionId": "0001",
        "showId": "4726",
        "externalReferenceEventId": "the-lion-king-broadway",
        "buyer": "buyer@emaildomain.com",
        "ticketId": "111",
        "ticketAccess": {
            "type": "OTHER",
            "locator": "D02KWWKS029F"
        },
        "props": {
            "urls": {
                "qrTicketPdfUrl": "https://yourplatform.com/tickets/qr-pdf/111"
            }
        }
    }
]'

Python

import requests
import json

url = "https://api.mentatickets.com/v1/tickets"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
}

ticketOptionId = "0001"
showId = "4726"
externalReferenceEventId = "the-lion-king-broadway"
buyer = "buyer@emaildomain.com"
ticketId = "111"
ticketAccessType = "OTHER"
locator = "D02KWWKS029F"
qrTicketPdfUrl = "https://yourplatform.com/tickets/qr-pdf/111"

data = [
    {
        "ticketOptionId": ticketOptionId,
        "showId": showId,
        "externalReferenceEventId": externalReferenceEventId,
        "buyer": buyer,
        "ticketId": ticketId,
        "ticketAccess": {

                "qrTicketPdfUrl": qrTicketPdfUrl
            }
        }
    }
]

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))
