Hi guys, I stitched a few APIs together into a fun gig finder app and thought some of you might enjoy it. Warning - autoplay!

I like it a LOT but don’t know why you’re calling them gigs instead of concerts or shows.

Thanks! Is it a US / UK thing? "gig" probably enjoys more common usage in UK than concert or show.

very nice. Which API do you use to get the gigs?

is the ui based on The Monospace Web?

idiocache8 maanden geleden

Thanks! It's using Ticketmaster and, in the UK, one additional provider.

I hadn't heard of The Monospace Web but I can see the resemblance!

Dude, that's amazing! How responsive and simple to use the tool is.

Obligatory question, are you planning on adding support for additional countries?

idiocache8 maanden geleden

Thanks! The countries available now are the ones with presence on Ticketmaster (and in the UK, one additional provider). If it proves popular I'll certainly look at scraping more ticket sites!

I upvoted your post. Your tool looks impressive. You might want to share it on NextGen Tools: https://nxgntools.com

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks! I will do. My first impression of your site is that it has a really nice interface - doesn't seem to have comment threads; I wondered why?
