Giggster API
No public API. Giggster has no developer portal, documented endpoints, OAuth, SDKs, or webhooks; api.giggster.com serves only its own apps. Calendar interoperability is limited to one-way iCal import, and the lone partner integration (TIDY) is private, not self-serve.
Frequently asked questions
Giggster scores F on the API Report Card. No public API. Giggster has no developer portal, documented endpoints, OAuth, SDKs, or webhooks; api.giggster.com serves only its own apps. Calendar interoperability is limited to one-way iCal import, and the lone partner integration (TIDY) is private, not self-serve.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Giggster is an online marketplace for renting unique locations by the hour for film and photo shoots, productions, events, weddings, and parties.
Giggster sits at the intersection of consumer marketplace and creative-production workflow software, with no clean fit in Supergood's vertical list; the closest tag is POS / Hospitality (booking and payments for hospitality-like venue rentals), with overall vertical filed as misc. A renter searches Giggster by city, date, activity (film shoot, photo shoot, event, wedding), and venue type (studio, mansion, loft, rooftop, pool), filters by price/hour and amenities (parking, power, natural light, blackout), and books and pays through Giggster, which holds funds, requires hosts to acknowledge bookings, and bundles up to $1M of liability and damage protection.
Moderate within the niche US/UK/Canada film and photo location-scouting community, low as a general B2B integration target.
Giggster lists 35,000+ creative spaces across the US, Canada, and UK, with concentration in entertainment markets, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Austin, Denver, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Brighton, plus 20+ secondary US cities.
Giggster was founded in 2016 by Yuri Baranov in Los Angeles (some sources cite 2017 for incorporation) with the explicit pitch of being "Airbnb for filming locations." Funding has been modest and largely undisclosed, Crunchbase and Tracxn list a Seed round in March 2021 with investors including Chaotic Investments, Wahed Ventures, Night Ventures, and AZ Disruptors.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
