Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

## Snoonu Scraper - Events & Activities

![Snoonu Scraper - Events & Activities](https://i.ibb.co/yFjcYnbs/snoonu-banner.png)

**Snoonu Scraper** extracts events, activities, tours, cinema showtimes and experiences in Qatar from [Snoonu City](https://snoonu.com/scity) into clean, structured data you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML. Paste a Snoonu City listing, category, search or event URL, or type a few keywords, and get the title, dates, venues, organizer, prices, availability and every upcoming session for each event. No account or login required.

### Introduction

[Snoonu](https://snoonu.com/) is one of Qatar's biggest delivery and lifestyle apps. Its **Snoonu City** section lists what is happening in Doha and across Qatar: concerts, shows, exhibitions, sports, cinema, dine-out offers, courses, tours and trips, many of them bookable directly on Snoonu.

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 Snoonu City?

- 🏷️ Event title, description, main categories and sub-categories
- 📅 Date summary, first and last date, and the next upcoming session
- 🕒 Every upcoming session with its date, venue, price and availability
- 💲 Minimum price, original price before discount, price type (free, free options, paid) and currency (QAR)
- 📍 Venues with Google Maps links
- 🏢 Organizer name and ID
- ✅ Availability and whether the event can be booked directly on Snoonu
- ⚠️ Restrictions (such as age limits) and the event's questions and answers
- 🖼️ Event image
- 🔗 Direct URL to each event page

### Use Cases

- 📈 **Market research**: see what kinds of events and activities are offered in Qatar, how often they run, and at what price.
- 🕵️ **Competitor monitoring**: follow the events, prices and schedules that venues and organizers publish on Snoonu City.
- 🤝 **Lead generation**: build a list of event organizers and venues in Qatar to contact.
- 🗂️ **Database building**: create your own calendar of things to do in Doha, with dates, venues and prices.
- 🤖 **AI and automation**: feed clean, structured data into spreadsheets, dashboards, or AI workflows.

### How to scrape Snoonu City step by step

1. Paste one or more Snoonu City URLs into **Start URLs**, or type keywords into **Search queries**.
2. Set **Maximum number of results** to how many events 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

Filters you apply on the website (dates, category, Register / Book on Snoonu, Free Options) and the page number are kept. Arabic pages (`/ar/scity/...`) are supported too.
- **Search queries**: keywords to search on Snoonu City, one per line. Each query is scraped separately.

### Notes

- Only Snoonu City pages are supported (listing, category, search and event pages). Other Snoonu pages, such as restaurants or groceries, are skipped.
- `upcomingSessions` lists only sessions that have not started yet. `startDate` and `endDate` cover all sessions, including past ones.
- When an event or session is booked on another website, `availability` is `External Booking` and `externalBookingUrl` holds the link.
- Prices are the minimum price shown by Snoonu City in Qatari riyal (QAR). Prices for each ticket type are only shown after signing in, so they are not included.
- Descriptions are the short descriptions shown on Snoonu City.
- Cinema movies that appear in keyword search results are not events and are skipped. Cinema showtimes listed under the Cinema category are included.
- Arabic pages return the text in Arabic.

### Why use the Snoonu Scraper?

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

- 🕒 **Full schedule**: every upcoming session with its own date, venue, price and availability.
- 🧹 **Clean data**: numbers are real numbers, dates use one standard format, and text is free of HTML.
- 💸 **Pay for what you need**: set a result limit per URL or query and keep every run small and cheap.
- 🔄 **Ready for automation**: schedule runs, export to Google Sheets, or connect to Make, Zapier, and n8n.

### 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 events.

#### Do I need a Snoonu 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 event data automatically.

#### Why are some fields empty?

Some events simply do not show every piece of information, such as a date summary or an original price. When a field is not available on the website, it is returned as `null` or an empty list.

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

Yes. Right now the actor supports start URLs, search queries and date, Book on Snoonu and free filters. If you need other filters or inputs, 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.
