## 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`).

### How to scrape Virgin Megastore Tickets step by step

1. Paste one or more Virgin Megastore Tickets URLs into **Start URLs**, or type keywords into **Search queries**.
2. Optionally pick a **Country**, **Categories**, and a **Date** or **Date from** / **Date to** range for your search queries.
3. Set **Maximum number of results** to how many events you want per URL or per query.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your data in JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the **Output** tab.

### Input

- **Start URLs**: Virgin Megastore Tickets URLs to scrape. Supported pages: a country home page (`https://tickets.virginmegastore.me/ae`), category pages (`/ae/music`, `/ae/Sport`, `/ae/family`, `/ae/experiences`, `/qa/music`, ...), search pages (`/ae/search?query=...`), and single event pages. A date filter in a category URL (such as `?date=thisweek`) is kept in the results.
- **Search queries**: keywords to search for, such as an artist, event, or venue name, one per line. Each query is scraped separately.
- **Country**: the country to search in (United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, or Oman). Applies to search queries only.
- **Categories**: only return events from these categories, such as Music, Sports, Comedy, Family, Theater, or Experiences & attractions. Applies to search queries only.
- **Date**: only return events in a period such as today, this weekend, or next month. Applies to search queries only.
- **Date from** / **Date to**: only return events within a custom date range. Applies to search queries only and cannot be combined with **Date**.
- **Maximum number of results**: how many events to collect for each start URL or search query.

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

### Input Examples

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://tickets.virginmegastore.me/ae/music" }],

  "searchQueries": ["live"],
  "country": "ae",
  "categories": ["music"],
  "dateFrom": "2026-11-01",
  "dateTo": "2026-11-30",
  "maxResults": 5
}
```

```

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

### Notes

- Supported countries are the United Arab Emirates (`/ae`), Qatar (`/qa`), Bahrain (`/bh`), and Oman (`/om`). Other site pages, such as FAQ, cart, or account pages, are skipped.
- Category pages that only show promotions and no event list (for example Dubai Nights) return no results.
- Prices are in the local currency of the country (AED, QAR, BHD, or OMR) and match the prices shown on the website.
- Dates include the local time zone of the country. Attractions and experiences without a fixed time only have a date.
- For shows with many dates, every date and time is listed in `showtimes`, and the ticket types come from the next available showtime.
- `groupDiscountPrice` is the price per ticket when you buy at least `groupDiscountMinQuantity` tickets; it is empty when there is no group offer.
- Events sold through a partner page have no ticket types.
- The website search also matches words in event descriptions, so a keyword search can return related events too.
- An event that appears in several start URLs or queries is saved only once.

### Why use the Virgin Megastore Tickets Scraper?

- ✅ **No login needed**: works with public data only, so there is no account to manage.
- 🎟️ **Every ticket type**: get all price levels and group offers, not only the lowest price.
- 🌍 **Four countries**: scrape the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman in one run.
- 🧹 **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**. The actor keeps going until it reaches your limit or runs out of events.

#### Do I need a Virgin Megastore Tickets 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 prices automatically.

#### Why are some fields empty?

Some events simply do not show every piece of information, such as doors-open time, age restriction, or venue location. 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, country, category, and date filters. If you need other filters or inputs, such as city or venue, 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.
