title: FreeTicket for developers
description: Build on FreeTicket, the ticketing platform for events in Colombia and Latin America. Automate your workspace over a REST API, a command-line tool, or an MCP server for AI agents.
---

FreeTicket exposes the same operations as its dashboard through three programmatic surfaces. They share one contract and one credential, so anything you prototype in one carries over to the others.

**[REST API](/guides)**

The B2B API at `/api/v1` for your workspace, and an anonymous storefront API for buyers.

**[CLI](/cli)**

`ft`: log in through the browser, then list, create and export from the terminal or a script.

**[MCP server](/mcp)**

Hosted at `mcp.appfreeticket.com`. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients.

## Which one should I use?

| You want to… | Use |
| --- | --- |
| Integrate FreeTicket into your own backend or website | [REST API](/guides) |
| Sell tickets from your own storefront without an account | [Public storefront API](/guides/public-api) |
| Run one-off operations or shell scripts against your workspace | [CLI](/cli) |
| Ask an AI assistant about your events, sales and reports | [MCP server](/mcp) |

## API reference

Both references are generated from the OpenAPI 3.1 contracts the platform serves, so they always match production.

**[B2B API reference](/reference/v1)**

Events, dates, ticket types, sales, tickets, memberships, venues, staff, reports, settlements, discounts, webhooks and API keys.

**[Public API reference](/reference/public)**

Anonymous event catalog, live availability, orders and ticket resend.

The raw contracts are also available for code generation:

- B2B: `https://admin.appfreeticket.com/api/v1/openapi.json`
- Public: `https://appfreeticket.com/api/public/openapi.json`

## Get started

1. **Install the CLI and log in**

    `npm install -g @freeticket/cli`, then `ft login`. Your browser opens and you approve the session. See [Install the CLI](/cli).

2. **Create an API key for your integration**

    `ft api-keys create my-integration --scope write`. See [Authentication](/guides/authentication).

3. **Make your first call**

    Follow the [quickstart](/guides/quickstart) to create an event and put it on sale.
