## Methods

### Get ticket prices

Operation `get_ticket_prices`, version 1. 1 credit per completed call. Failed calls without a completed billing receipt are free; completed work can remain charged if delivery is interrupted.

Find a matching StubHub event or use an event link to see current resale listing prices, including estimated fees. Search matches are limited to events StubHub exposes in search and the initial performer grid; when more listing pages are blocked, up to 10 lowest-priced listings are returned. Before-fee prices are not displayed.

## Quick start

Replace `YOUR_API_KEY` with a Fous API key. To create one, open Developers at the bottom of Fous Studio, turn on Developer mode, then go to API keys (https://app.fous.com/keys). Change the values in `input` to run the same tool on new data.

```bash
curl 'https://api.fous.com/v1/query' \
  --fail-with-body --silent --show-error --max-time 180 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{
  "api": "@stubhub",

    "quantity": 2
  },
  "response": {
    "format": "json"
  }
}'
```

```python
