Eventbrite-invoicer

Ruby script to read an eventbrite event and generate invoices for the attendees and optionally email them This is was created out of the frustration that evenbrite doesn't generate invoices automagically.

Install

$ bundle install

Config

Credentials.yml

By default it wil look for a file with your eventbrite credentials in your local directory with the name 'credentials.yml' You can generate them by visiting https://www.eventbrite.com/userkeyapi and generating one. This will give you 'app_key' and 'user_key'

---
:app_key: your-app-key-here
:user_key: your-user-key-here

Settings file

By default it wil look for a file with your eventbrite event/invoice settings in your local directory with the name 'settings.yml' Adapt to your likings.

Most likely you'll need to :

• find your eventid

• provide a logo file
