# Getvnt

> Getvnt is an open-source event calendar and ticketing platform. A performer, a venue or a curator gets one public page for every event, with free registration and RSVP, ticket sales with zero platform fees through their own Stripe or PayPal account, two-way calendar sync, newsletters to the people who follow them, and QR tickets scanned at the door. It runs hosted at getvnt.com or selfhosted, and has a full REST API with an OpenAPI 3.0 spec.

Key facts:

- **Schedule types**: three. Talent (performers and artists), Venue (places that host events) and Curator (guides that collect events from many talents and venues).
- **Free plan**: unlimited events and schedules, unlimited free registration and RSVP, zero-price ticket types, QR ticket scanning at the door, two-way Google Calendar, Outlook and CalDAV sync, analytics, event graphics, an embeddable calendar and iCal feeds, recurring events, sub-schedules, one appointment type, email subscribers with automatic new-event digests, 10 newsletter emails a month (each recipient counts as one), and AI event parsing. One team member per schedule.

## API

- **Authentication**: API key via `X-API-Key` header, obtained through registration or login
- **Plans**: Most of the API is on the Pro plan: schedule, event, sub-schedule and sale endpoints return only Pro schedules' data, or a 403. Creating or deleting a schedule, the category list, fan content and recording a sale (`POST /api/sales`, free ticket tiers only unless the schedule is Pro) have no Pro check.
- **Rate limits**: 300 GET requests/min, 30 POST/PUT/DELETE requests/min, counted per IP address
- **Getting started**: register (`POST /api/register`; hosted mode requires email verification via `POST /api/register/send-code` first), create a schedule (`POST /api/schedules` with a name and type: venue, talent or curator), then create events (`POST /api/events/{subdomain}`)
