How to POST event to external system

Question

Working a poc on integrating Salesforce with Eventbrite. Want to have events created in Salesforce which automatically get created on eventbrite.

What do I do so that events gets created on eventbrite? Can you please help me with the sample code to proceed

This is what I am referring to https://www.eventbrite.com/developer/v3/

public class EventbriteCallBackController {
  Callbacktoken__c cfg = new Callbacktoken__c(SetupOwnerId = UserInfo.getUserId());

public void insertsettings() {
    insert cfg;
}
public EventbriteCallBackController(){
    String clientId = 'JSU646Y57T4RZ722ZP'; // Set this in step 3
    String clientSecret = '7F4LQ24WGPVULZPHPXNZP6CIWVUC7H5RXFTMZOSDAFAYDVPKYP'; // Set this in step 3

    String paramCode = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('code');
    system.debug('paramCode '+paramCode);

    Http h = new Http();
    HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
    req.setEndpoint('https://www.eventbrite.com/oauth/token');
    String body = 'code='+paramCode+'&client_secret='+clientSecret+'&client_id='+clientId+'&grant_type=authorization_code';
    req.setMethod('POST');
    req.setBody(body);
    req.setHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
    System.debug('Request is' +req);
    HttpResponse res = new HttpResponse();
    System.debug('response is' +res.getBody());

    Http h1 = new Http();
    HttpResponse res2 = h1.send(req);
    String resp = res2.getBody();
    System.debug('FINAL RESP IS:'+EncodingUtil.urlDecode(resp, 'UTF-8'));

     Map<string,object > results =(Map<string,object>)Json.deserializeuntyped(resp);
    cfg.access_token__c  = (string)results.get('access_token');

   }

Eventbrite supports webhooks: https://www.eventbrite.com/developer/v3/reference/webhooks/

Basically what it does it you post a web service to listen to a certain event, e.g. event created. When that event happens, the webhook will use the remote url you provided in original web service to callback and provide you with the information. So basically you should be using that to handle this scenario.
