Authentication

All Tick&Live APIs use a simple header-based authentication system.

Tenant Header​

All API requests require the x-tenant header containing your tenant ID.

Example Request​

curl -X GET "http://tempsreel-pre.connect.tickandlive.com/api/v1/catalog/events" \
  -H "x-tenant: your-tenant-id" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Getting Your Tenant ID​

Your tenant ID is provided when you sign up for API access. Contact xxxxxxxxxxxx@tickandlive.com if you need to retrieve or reset your tenant ID.

Security Best Practices​

  1. Never expose your tenant ID in client-side code or public repositories
  2. Use environment variables to store your tenant ID
  3. Rotate your tenant ID if it's ever compromised (contact support)
  4. Use HTTPS in production - never make API calls over HTTP

Error Responses​

If you omit the x-tenant header or provide an invalid tenant ID, you'll receive a 400 Bad Request response:

{
  "type": "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.5.1",
  "title": "Bad Request",
  "status": 400,
  "detail": "The x-tenant header is required"
}

Environment-Specific Configuration​

Pre-production Environment​

Use the pre-production base URL for testing:

http://tempsreel-pre.connect.tickandlive.com

Code Examples​

cURL​

curl -X GET "http://tempsreel-pre.connect.tickandlive.com/api/v1/catalog/venues" \
  -H "x-tenant: your-tenant-id" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

C#​

var client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("x-tenant", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TICKANDLIVE_TENANT_ID"));
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");

Python​

import os
import requests

headers = {
    "x-tenant": os.getenv("TICKANDLIVE_TENANT_ID"),
    "Accept": "application/json"
}

JavaScript/Node.js​

const headers = {
  'x-tenant': process.env.TICKANDLIVE_TENANT_ID,
  'Accept': 'application/json'
};
