The SeatGeek Event Recommendations API
- bellajara 14y agoFor those who are curious, a direct link to the documentation: http://platform.seatgeek.com/#recommendations http://platform.seatgeek.com/#recommendations
- clumsybull 14y agoHow would it be able to calculate results from an arbitrary vector of preferences in realtime? It seems like the sort of thing that could not be done quickly enough to respond with a synchronous API request. In other words, it seems like the sort of thing that is naturally backgrounded.
- acslater00 14y agoIt can be done fast enough. There is some pre-processing of the raw data at startup time, so all we store in memory is a matrix representation of our user/artist preference graph. A typical preference calculation for a new arbitrary set of artists takes 50-100ms, at which point it is cached for a while. Our most common queries [individual performers, for example] tend to read from cache, which helps.

- frankdenbow 14y agoLooks great. Are there affiliate options coming?
- andremedeiros 14y agoI think their website just got hacked...
- polarix 14y agoI only see a password field right now, looks suspicious.
- zackkitzmiller 14y agoUnfortunately, it does seem that way. We're looking at it.
- yolesaber 14y agoI didn't even know SeatGeek had an API. Just added their event listings to one of my side projects. Serendipity.
