Add Seats

How to add a numbered seat tutorial​

This guide shows how to add numbered seats for a numbered event manually to the shopping cart.

Let's get started with the examples

Step-by-step examples​

This guide shows how to obtaining and apply an rate step by step.

Prerequisites!

You will need a valid OAuth access_token to be able to make each call! Please refer to our Authentication Guide to obtain one.

Create a new shopping cart​

Now we create a new shopping cart. This shopping cart will be the "basket" or "holder" that will contain all the data required during the buying process.

curl --location --request POST 'https://gateway-pre.oneboxtickets.net/onebox-rest2/rest/shoppingCart/create' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}' \
--data-raw ''

This call will return an empty shopping cart. The token attribute is the shopping cart unique identifier that you will use in the rest of the calls. Important: a shopping cart will expire after 10 minutes of inactivity. Once the shopping cart has expired, it will release all it's products and be permanently deleted. Tip: some http client will not let you make a post call without body, that's why we send an empty body on this request.

Get seats root map view​

With call we get the id of the Seat Map View that we will need later:

  • session-id The id of the session from which we want to add the seat.
curl --location --request GET 'http://gateway-pre.oneboxtickets.net/onebox-rest2/rest/session/{{session-id}}/seatMap/rootView' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}'

Note: When making a call to the seat-map endpoint, information is obtained from a physical level, with all the seats of the view, regardless of the availability of session seats assigned to your channel by the Event Manager.

Seat Status​

This call returns a list of seat status and each one contains a seatId and the status of the seat.

  • session-id The id of the session from which we want to add the seat.
  • seat-map-view The id of the session from which we want to add the seat.
curl --location --request GET 'http://gateway-pre.oneboxtickets.net/onebox-rest2/rest/session/{{session-id}}/seatStatus/{{seat-map-view}}' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}'

Example of the response: 

"seatsStatus": {
    "seatStatus": [
        {
            "@id": "134154306",
            "@sessionId": "245938",
            "@status": "1",
            "@priceZoneId": "32716"
        }

Note: In this way we obtain the id ("@id": "134154306" in the example response) of the seat that we are going to use later in the step of Add Seats, note that the "@status" attribute have to be "@status": "1" (seat unlocked and available) else you will get an error in the next step because the seat will be blocked or occupied.

In addition, note that unlike the seat-map endpoint (detailed above), the seat-status endpoint only returns information of the seats on which your relation of events/channel have visibility by business rules. It is for this reason that there are some seats that may not appear on this response but yes when we call to seat-map, you must have in account the seats of this response since this endpoint is the one that will give you the real availability of seats for your channel.

Add seats​

Finally, we make this call to add the desired seats to the Shopping Cart.

  • cart-token: The shopping cart identifier.
  • session-id The id of the session from which we want to add the seat.
  • seat-id The id of the seat we want to add and was obtained on the previous step.
curl --location --request POST 'https://gateway-pre.oneboxtickets.net/onebox-rest2/rest/shoppingCart/addSeats' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}' \
--data-urlencode 'seatsList=<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><seatsList xmlns="http://www.oneboxtm.es/ns/input-data/shopping/cart"><seat xmlns="http://www.oneboxtm.es/ns/input-data/shopping/cart" id="{{seat-id}}" sessionId="{{session-id}}" /></seatsList>' \
--data-urlencode 'token={{cart-token}}'

Note: In this way we add the nominal seat to the Shopping Cart, if you need to add more than 1 in the same call only need to send more "seat" structures into the "seatsList" list structure of the seatsList XML parameter.
