Brown Paper Tickets Barcoding

Get barcodes of tickets sold to your events.

This library uses an API endpoint for the old v1 API. Unfortunately, a barcoding endpoint in v2 does not exist. This is currently the only way to obtain barcde data.

Brown Paper Tickets uses Code 128b barcodes.

Install

Install via npm: npm install bpt-barcoding.

Usage

var barcoding = require('bpt-barcoding');

Parse a CSV downloaded from Brown Paper Tickets.

barcoding.parseBarcodeFile('/path/to/a/csv/file.csv', function(error, barcodes) {
	
	if (error) {
		return error;
	}
	
	console.log(barcodes);

});

This will returns an array of tickets:

[{
	barcode: 'EBEHZY2KDQ',
	ticketID: '25124052',
	priceID: '2217843',
	attendeeName: 'blum chandler',
	sectionName: 'Loge',
	rowName: 'AA',
	seatName: '3',
	scanned: false,
	bulkOrder: false // If the CSV was a bulk ticket order, this is true
}]

Get barcodes via the API.

You'll need to pass in your BPT Username and Password to each of these methods. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

	var login = 'your_bpt_username',
	password = 'your_password';

Pass in an array of Date ID's. You can get Date IDs from the supported Datelist API call.

If you don't pass in a dates array, it will return a list of tickets purchased for all active events.

var dates = [12345, 12345, 12345];

barcoding.getTickets(login, password, dates, function(error, tickets) {
	if (error) {
		return error;
	}

	console.log(tickets);
});

This will return an array of tickets for the passed dates:

[{
	barcode: 'MW2MBRZX9Y',
	ticketID: '34331104',
	priceID: '2522667',
	attendeeName: 'Name Unknown',
	sectionName: '',
	rowName: '',
	seatName: '',
	scanned: false,
	bulkOrder: false
}]

Getting a list of dates.

You can get a list of dates using the supported Datelist API call.

You could also use the getDates method to get a list of dates:

barcoding.getDates(login, password, function(error, dates) {
	if (error) {
		return error;
	}

	console.log(dates);
});

This will return an array of date objects:

[{
	dateID: '881908',
    eventName: 'Another Test Event!',
    eventDate: '2017-08-14 13:00:00'
},
{
	dateID: '881916',
    eventName: 'Another Test Event!',
    eventDate: '2018-08-12 19:00:00'
},
{
	dateID: '880781',
    eventName: 'Test Event',
    eventDate: '2016-08-12 07:30:00'
},
{
	dateID: '882531',
    eventName: 'Test Event',
    eventDate: '2016-12-13 14:00:00'
}]
