Joomla and Eventbrite Integration

Question

I am looking for a way to integrate Eventbrite with Joomla. I want to show a list of upcoming events that I have created. There are a number of default widgets available with Eventbrite (copy / paste html code) but they are pretty basic, so I think i'll have to create some sort of custom component / plugin using their API.

I'm not sure where to start with this development, and was wondering if anyone had similar experience, or can point me in the right direction. I've been experimenting with their API (using the Postman app) and I am able to retrieve a list of events using the following API endpoint

https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/users/me/events?token=mytoken

This returns a JSON list of events and details. I'm not sure how I take this and integrate it with Joomla though. Ideally I would like to be able to create a new module (Upcoming Events), and display this on various pages throughout my site.

There appears to be a lot of WP plugins available for Eventbrite, the only Joomla one I could find is called Combrite - although every time I enter my email address to receive the download link it never arrives.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks to @Lodder for providing the code below which is very helpful

<?php
 
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
 
use Joomla\CMS\Http\HttpFactory;
use Joomla\Registry\Registry;
 
class ModFooHelper
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->baseurl = 'https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/users/me/events?token=mytoken';
    }
 
    public static function getEvents()
    {
        $httpOptions = [
            'userAgent' => "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.57 Safari/537.17\r\n"
        ];
 
        $options = new Registry($httpOptions);
        $http    = HttpFactory::getHttp($options);
        $httpResult = $http->get($this->baseurl);
 
        $results = json_decode($httpResult->body);
 
        return $results;
    }
}
