Ticketmaster Discovery API, E 42.9/100\n\nTicketmaster's Discovery API searches events, attractions, venues and classifications across Ticketmaster, Universe, FrontGate and Ticketmaster Resale, with a key from the developer portal. Buying tickets needs the Partner API, which is open only to approved distribution partners.\n\n- Verdict: The Discovery API gives a free key 5,000 event searches a day across Ticketmaster's markets, with documented paging, filters and rate-limit headers. There is no OpenAPI contract or current SDK, the key travels in the URL, the terms forbid revenue from the API, and purchase stays behind the partner-only Partner API.\n- Best for: An agent that finds concerts, sport and shows by keyword, place and date and hands the person a link to buy.\n- Strength: Event, attraction, venue and classification search with keyword, date, location, classification and source filters, documented with sample requests and full JSON responses\n- Strength: Default limits stated in numbers (5,000 calls a day, 5 a second) with Rate-Limit headers and a documented 429\n- Strength: Free key with no card, plus a Discovery Feed of whole-country files for bulk use with no call limits\n- Weakness: No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract and no llms.txt; the only key travels as a query parameter\n- Weakness: The GitHub SDKs were last pushed between 2016 and 2021 and the Java one is archived; no official MCP server\n- Weakness: Terms forbid deriving revenue from the API, cap caching at reasonable periods and let Ticketmaster end the licence or rate limit non-user-driven calls at any time\n- Price: Free · Auth: API key · x402: No · Where: Local\n- Full assessment: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/ticketmaster.md\n\n### 4.

Third-party apps connect through an API whose documentation sits behind a login.\n\n- Verdict: Ravelry runs an API that 36 listed apps use for patterns, projects and stash, with a public Statuspage and terms that do not forbid automation. Its API documentation, developer registration and API group are all behind a login, so an agent's operator must hold a Ravelry account and read the docs there before any call.\n- Best for: The only API for a knitter's or crocheter's own projects, stash, queue and the pattern database, so it suits a personal craft agent whose operator holds an account and reads the docs.\n- Strength: A public apps directory shows 36 third-party apps and tools connecting to Ravelry on iOS, Android and the web\n- Strength: Statuspage at ravelry.statuspage.io with an uptime metric for www.ravelry.com\n- Strength: Terms of use (1 February 2017) have no clause against automated access or API use\n- Weakness: API documentation, developer registration and the API group redirect to the login page, so endpoints, keys, scopes and rate limits could not be checked\n- Weakness: No llms.txt, OpenAPI contract, SDK or changelog found on any public page\n- Weakness: No security.txt, disclosure policy or certification found; /.well-known/security.txt redirects to the login page\n- Price: Free · Auth: OAuth or key · x402: No · Where: Local\n- Full assessment: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/ravelry.md\n\n## Head to head\n\n- [Ride with GPS API vs Strava MCP Connector + API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ride-with-gps-vs-strava.md)\n- [Ride with GPS API vs Ticketmaster Discovery API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ride-with-gps-vs-ticketmaster.md)\n\n## Questions\n\n### What are the highest-rated hobby, sport and recreation APIs for AI agents?\n\nStrava MCP Connector + API has the highest benchmark score of the 6 ranked hobby, sport and recreation APIs, 45.8 (E). Ride with GPS API is second with 45.2 (E).\n\n### How many hobby, sport and recreation APIs are agent-ready?\n\n0 of the 6 ranked here grade BB or better, the bar for agent-ready on the Anchor benchmark.\n\n### Which hobby, sport and recreation APIs accept x402 payments?\n\nNone of the ranked listings here accepts x402 for its main call yet.\n\n### How is this list ranked?\n\nBy the Anchor benchmark score out of 100, a weighted mean of the scored categories minus deductions for negative events, from public evidence re-checked as vendors change. Listings cannot pay for a place. The latest assessment behind this page is from 3 November 2026.\n\n## How this list is made\n\nThe order is the Anchor benchmark score, the same number as on each listing. Each listing is graded from public evidence against the benchmark checklist, and the picks are worked out from those grades, prices and facts. No listing pays for its place, and paid audits or listing help never change a score.\n", "meta": { "attribution": "Anchor Terminal (https://www.anchorterminal.com)", "attributionRequired": true, "credit": "CC BY 4.0, credit Anchor Terminal and link the page or API address you took it from (https://www.anchorterminal.com/terms/#data)", "docs": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/docs/", "generatedAt": "2026-11-04", "license": "CC-BY-4.0", "method": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/", "methodology": "0.7", "openapi": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/openapi.json", "preview": false, "run": "2026-10-01", "runLabel": "October 2026 research run", "terms": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/terms/#data" }, "page": { "breadcrumbs": [ { "name": "Home", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/" }, { "name": "Best of", "url": "https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/" }, { "name": "Hobbies, sport \u0026 recreation", "url": "" } ], "description": "Strava MCP Connector + API (E), Ride with GPS API (E) and Ticketmaster Discovery API (E) lead the 6 ranked hobby, sport and recreation APIs.
