The Elevent API has been redone, really. The driving force behind this update is to give us more leeway to provide a greater amount of data and detail without impacting what's most important--the speed and efficiency of transactions.

The first thing to know is that your existing integrations are safe. The API is backward compatible--all pre-existing endpoints and responses still function and the URL and addresses are the same. Phew. So there's nothing you have to do.

But there is more you can do, if you are so inclined--including:

• Retrieve custom order field data--custom info you gather from buyers
• Retrieve venues and venue information
• Retrieve row & seat on tickets if you are doing Reserved Seating
• Retrieve the VenueID on Get Showtimes results
• Retrieve customer status on Get Customers results--to see if customers are active or otherwise
• See price and description on all Get Products results
• Get a deeplink to the customer details page in Get Customers results
• Added some bits to donation orders to indicate if they are round-up or automated donations
• Return General Ledger codes on Get Products calls
• Retrieve price and description on Get Products calls
• Added which brand(s) are associated with all the tickets in Get Showtimes calls
• Added ShowtimeStartDateTime, ShowtimeEndDateTime, and ActivationDateTime ISO 8601 DateTime properties to Get Showtimes calls from the External Web API
