# About the Tickets API

The Tickets API allows you to manage individual event tickets and their lifecycle in Wix Events. This API provides capabilities for event organizers who need to track, update, and manage physical event tickets.

With the Tickets API you can:

- [Retrieve](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/events/registration/ticketing/tickets/get-ticket) individual tickets.
- [Check in](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/events/registration/ticketing/tickets/check-in-ticket) guests by updating ticket check-in status for event attendance tracking.
- [Update](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/events/registration/ticketing/tickets/update-ticket) ticket information including guest details, archival status, and form responses.

## Before you begin

It's important to note the following points before starting to code:

- The site must have [Wix Events & Tickets](fallback::https://www.wix.com/app-market/web-solution/events) installed.
- The tickets are generated using the [Orders API](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/events/registration/ticketing/orders/order-object).

## Use cases

- Build custom event check-in systems
- Integrate with external event management systems

## Terminology
