title: “Overview” description: “The Channel Manager API lets marketplaces and collaborators list events, sell tickets and manage guest lists across multiple Fourvenues venues.” ---## What is the Channel Manager API? The Channel Manager API is designed for marketplaces, ticket platforms, and multi-venue operators — anyone who sells or manages services on behalf of Fourvenues venue owners. As a channel, you operate through a partnership established by the venue, which controls what you can access and sell.
Managing your own venue’s data directly? You probably want the Integrations API instead.
Key concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Channel | Your identity in the system — a marketplace or partner entity authorized by one or more venues. |
| Host | A Fourvenues venue owner who has granted your channel access to their events. |
| Ownership | Your API key only sees events from venues that have added you as a partner. |
| Read + Write | Supports reading events/rates and creating tickets, lists and checkout sessions. |
| Webhooks | Receive real-time payment confirmations and refund notifications via webhooks. |
