## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

![Muscat Where To Scraper](https://i.ibb.co/9kSsgGSf/muscatwhereto-banner.png)

**Muscat Where To Scraper** extracts events and offers in Muscat and across Oman from [Muscat Where To](https://muscatwhereto.com/) into clean, structured data you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. Paste a Muscat Where To page URL or type a few keywords, and get the title, dates, weekly schedule, venue, prices in OMR, categories, booking link, and contact details for every listing. No account or login required.

### Introduction

[Muscat Where To](https://muscatwhereto.com/) is a popular city guide for Muscat, Oman. It lists what's on in the city: concerts, parties and festivals, plus hotel and restaurant offers such as brunches, happy hours, pool day passes, staycations, spa deals, and kids' activities.

This actor collects the same public information you see in your browser and turns it into a ready-to-use dataset. You can run it once, schedule it to run daily, or connect it to your own tools.

### What data can you extract from Muscat Where To?

- 🏷️ Title, listing type (event or offer), short and full description
- 📅 Start and end dates, weekly recurring days, opening times, and the schedule text shown on the page
- 💲 Prices in OMR: every price line from the listing, plus lowest and highest price
- 🗂️ Categories and features (for example Brunch, Pool, Kids Friendly, Live Entertainment)
- 📍 Venue name and description, city, country, latitude, longitude, and Google Maps link
- 🎟️ Booking link, booking button text and booking type (website or WhatsApp)
- 📞 Phone, WhatsApp, email, website, Facebook and Instagram of the venue
- 🖼️ Main image, featured image and extra photos
- 🔗 Direct URL to each listing, trending flag, and created/updated dates

### Use Cases

- 📈 **Market research**: follow brunch, happy hour and staycation prices across Muscat hotels and restaurants.
- 🕵️ **Competitor monitoring**: see which offers other venues publish, on which days, and at what price.
- 🤝 **Lead generation**: build a list of venues with phone, email, WhatsApp and social links.
- 🗂️ **Database building**: create your own calendar of events and deals in Oman.
- 🤖 **AI and automation**: feed clean, structured data into spreadsheets, dashboards, or AI workflows.

### How to scrape Muscat Where To step by step

1. Paste one or more Muscat Where To URLs into **Start URLs**, or type keywords into **Search queries**.
2. Set **Maximum number of results** to how many results you want per URL or per query.
3. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
4. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the **Output** tab.

### Input

- **Start URLs**: Muscat Where To URLs to scrape. Supported pages: upcoming events, what's on, offers, category pages (such as Eat & Drink, Staycation or Pool & Beach), search result pages, and single event or offer pages. Filters you apply on the website (search keyword, day of the week, date, subcategory) are kept in the results.
- **Search queries**: keywords to search events and offers, one per line. Each query is scraped separately.
- **Maximum number of results**: how many results to collect for each start URL or search query. Use 0 for no limit.
- **Category**: search only inside one category. Applies to search queries only.
- **Day of the week**: only listings available on that day. Applies to search queries only.

You can use start URLs, search queries, or both in the same run.

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://muscatwhereto.com/offers" }],
  "maxResults": 5

You can download the dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML, or access it through the Apify API.

### Notes

- Business directory pages (Dining, Wellness & Beauty, Shopping & Fashion, Culture & Entertainment, Experiences, Discover) are not events or offers and are skipped.
- Prices are read from the price lines written in each listing, so `prices` holds every amount mentioned (for example adult, kids and beverage packages). Listings without a written price return empty prices.
- Offers that repeat every week have `dateType` set to `recurring` and list their days in `recurringDays`; one-off events have a start and end date.
- Dates and times are returned in UTC. Oman time is UTC+4.
- Each listing appears only once per start URL or search query, even when the website shows it on many days.
- Some venues do not publish an email, website or social link, so those fields are returned as `null`.

### Why use the Muscat Where To Scraper?

- ✅ **No login needed**: works with public data only, so there is no account to manage.

### FAQ

#### How many results can I scrape?

You can set any number in **Maximum number of results**, or 0 for no limit. The actor keeps going until it reaches your limit or runs out of listings.

#### Do I need a Muscat Where To account?

No. The actor only collects publicly available data. You do not need to log in or provide any account details.

#### Can I scrape data on a schedule?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run the actor every hour, day, or week, and get fresh events and offers automatically.

#### Why are some fields empty?

Some listings simply do not show every piece of information. When a field is not available on the website, it is returned as `null`.

#### Can I request a new feature or filter?

Yes. Right now the actor supports start URLs, search queries, and category, day and date filters. If you need other filters, such as features like "Pool" or "Kids Friendly", get in touch and they can be added.

#### Can I get a custom or private version?

Yes. The actor can be customized for your workflow, delivered as a private version, or a new scraper can be built for a different website. Use the contact details below.
