🚀 Success Story: Courier IO by Blue Developments
Project Name: Courier IO
Client Context: Internal tool, initially built to solve Ticketmaster-specific data access barriers
Tech Stack: NestJS, PostgreSQL, React, TypeScript, Puppeteer
Industry: Ticketing Automation, Data Integration
Location: UAE (serving global Ticketmaster use cases)
Overview
Blue Developments engineered Courier IO, a robust data-extraction and account management platform purpose-built for bypassing data inaccessibility challenges in highly secure platforms like Ticketmaster. The tool was crafted to allow seamless access to ticket inventories, orders, and barcode-level data, without the need for direct API or credential access, enabling operational automation and real-time inventory sync.
💡 Key Challenges
- No Direct API Access: Ticketmaster’s backend does not offer public API access for granular account or order-level data.
- Complex Login Flows: Accounts were protected with dynamic security layers and CAPTCHAs.
- Rotating Ticket Metadata: Seats, sections, and barcode details varied by event, requiring adaptive scraping logic.
- Bulk Management Need: Users needed a central hub to manage dozens of Ticketmaster accounts in real-time.
🛠 Our Solution
Using NestJS for the backend and React for the frontend, Blue Developments architected Courier IO with an emphasis on modularity and stealth automation:
- 🔐 Automated Secure Login Handling: Simulates human-like login via Puppeteer, bypassing frontend hurdles using smart CAPTCHA logic.
- 🗂 Account Dashboard: Allows users to bulk upload, sync, and monitor multiple Ticketmaster accounts in one interface.
- 📦 Event Inventory Viewer: Lists all events tied to each account, displaying order numbers, total tickets, barcodes, and venue metadata.
- 🔗 Smart Link Generator: Allows users to generate custom ticket resale or sharing links with a single click.
- 🧠 Error Handling & Proxy Support: System detects and manages sync failures, IP bans, or browser challenges using a dynamic proxy pool.
- 📊 Wallet & Credit Management: Displays remaining sync credits and wallet balance within the dashboard.
✅ Proven Results
- ⏱ Reduced manual data extraction time from 40 minutes per account to under 1 minute via automation.
- 🔄 24/7 auto-sync support across 100+ accounts simultaneously.
- 💰 Enabled account holders to relist and manage over 10,000 tickets across multiple events.
- ⚙️ Fully scalable and adaptable to other ticketing platforms (e.g., AXS, SeatGeek).
