Questions
SpotHero Event Facilities API FAQ
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
Still have a question?
Talk to the people who build the endpoints.
How much does the SpotHero Event Facilities API cost?
1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.
What do I send?
Send event_url or event_id. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.
Do I need a SpotHero login?
No. It reads public SpotHero data; nothing runs on your account.
Can my AI agent call it?
Yes, over MCP: the agent finds spothero.event-facilities, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
