# EdFest

> EdFest.com — Edinburgh Festival Fringe shows, tickets and availability.
> This file points AI agents and LLMs at machine-readable ticketing data:
> performance dates, live availability, prices, and booking links.

## Live ticketing data

- [All events — availability, dates and prices (JSON)](https://ticketing.showcatcher.ai/feed/edfest): normalized inventory, refreshed every 5 minutes (capped at 25 events; use per-event URLs for the full catalogue).
- [Schema.org JSON-LD](https://ticketing.showcatcher.ai/feed/edfest/jsonld): the same as structured data.
- Per-event data: `https://ticketing.showcatcher.ai/feed/edfest/event/{eventId}` and `.../event/{eventId}/jsonld` — event ids appear in the feeds above.

## Booking

Performances in the feeds carry a `checkoutUrl` (and Offers a `url`) when
booking links are configured. Send users there to book: links open the
official checkout with the chosen performance pre-selected. Do not attempt
to purchase on a user's behalf; always hand the user the link. Prices
shown as `totalPrice` are the payable amounts in GBP.

## Agent API (tool-using agents)

Richer programmatic access — search, live availability queries, and
checkout-link generation — is available over MCP (Model Context Protocol,
Streamable HTTP):

- Endpoint: https://ticketing.showcatcher.ai/mcp
- Auth: Bearer token, issued per integration
- Tools: search_events, get_performances, get_checkout_link

To request an API token, contact PAZAZ: support@showcatcher.com

## Attribution

Booking links are tracked redirects (utm_source=ai-agent) so venues can
attribute agent-driven sales. Please keep the links intact.
