Quotas¶

Resource description¶

Quotas define how many times an item can be sold. The quota resource contains the following public fields:

Field	Type	Description
id	integer	Internal ID of the quota
name	string	The internal name of the quota
size	integer	The size of the quota or `null` for unlimited
items	list of integers	List of item IDs this quota acts on.
variations	list of integers	List of item variation IDs this quota acts on.
subevent	integer	ID of the date inside an event series this quota belongs to (or `null`).
close_when_sold_out	boolean	If `true`, the quota will “close” as soon as it is sold out once. Even if tickets become available again, they will not be sold unless the quota is set to open again.
closed	boolean	Whether the quota is currently closed (see above field).
release_after_exit	boolean	Whether the quota regains capacity as soon as some tickets have been scanned at an exit.
ignore_for_event_availability	boolean	Whether the quota is ignored when calculating the event’s availability of tickets.
available	boolean	Whether this quota is available. Only returned if `with_availability=true` is set on the request. Do not rely on this value for critical operations, it may be slightly out of date.
available_number	integer	Number of available tickets. Only returned if `with_availability=true` is set on the request. Do not rely on this value for critical operations, it may be slightly out of date. `null` means unlimited.

Changed in version 2025.7: The attribute ignore_for_event_availability has been added.
