Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 10times Trade Shows & Events Scraper Scrape B2B trade shows, conferences, summits, and exhibitions from [10times.com](https://10times.com) — the world's largest event discovery platform with 200,000+ events across 100+ industries.

Go to the [10times Trade Shows & Events Scraper](https://apify.com/automation-lab/10times-events-scraper) page on Apify Store. 2. Provide one or more **Start URLs** (10times.com city/category pages in `/city-country/industry` format), OR enter a **Search query**. 3. Set **Max results** (default 15). 4. Keep **Proxy configuration** set to Residential (required to bypass Cloudflare). 5. Click **Start** and download your data as JSON, CSV, or Excel. ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | `startUrls` | Array | List of 10times.com category pages to scrape. Use format: `/city-country/industry` (e.g. `https://10times.com/london-uk/technology`) | | `searchQuery` | String | Keyword to search on 10times.com. Example: `blockchain summit`, `pharma trade show` (requires residential proxies) | | `maxResults` | Integer | Maximum number of events to extract, 1–1000 (default: 15) | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | Apify proxy settings. **Residential proxies required** — 10times.com is Cloudflare-protected | | `maxRequestRetries` | Integer | Retry attempts for failed requests (default: 3) | ### Output example ```json { "name": "London Tech Week", "url": "https://10times.com/london-technology-week", "startDate": "2026-06-08", "endDate": "2026-06-10", "city": "London", "state": null, "country": null, "venue": null, "edition": "13th edition", "attendees": 50000, "exhibitors": 300, "tags": ["Tradeshow", "IT & Technology"], "imageUrl": "https://img.10times.com/event/ltw-logo.jpg", "description": "London Tech Week is the world's largest technology festival, bringing together 50,000+ attendees from 90+ countries...", "sourceUrl": "https://10times.com/london-uk/technology", "scrapedAt": "2026-05-10T08:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Supported URL formats The actor works with 10times.com location/category listing pages: - **Location+category pages (recommended)**: `https://10times.com/london-uk/technology`, `https://10times.com/new-york-us/pharmaceutical`, `https://10times.com/berlin-de/automotive` - **Search pages**: `https://10times.com/search?q=blockchain`, `https://10times.com/search?q=AI+summit` (requires residential proxies) - **Country/industry pages**: `https://10times.com/usa/healthcare`, `https://10times.com/uk/finance` ### Proxy requirements 10times.com is protected by Cloudflare and blocks datacenter IP ranges. **Residential proxies are required** for reliable access. The actor defaults to Apify's residential proxy group (`RESIDENTIAL`). Using the actor without residential proxies will result in Cloudflare blocks and empty output. ### Cost & pricing This actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing: | Tier | Start fee | Per event | |------|-----------|-----------| | FREE | $0.03 | $0.004506 | | BRONZE | $0.03 | $0.003918 | | SILVER | $0.03 | $0.003056 | | GOLD | $0.03 | $0.002351 | | PLATINUM | $0.03 | $0.001567 | | DIAMOND | $0.03 | $0.001097 | The start fee covers Playwright browser startup + Cloudflare bypass overhead (required for 10times.com). A FREE-tier run extracting 100 events costs approximately **$0.481** ($0.03 start + 100 × $0.004506). ### API usage Use the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) to integrate this actor into your workflows. #### JavaScript (ApifyClient) ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/10times-events-scraper').call({ startUrls: [{ url: 'https://10times.com/london-uk/technology' }], maxResults: 50, proxyConfiguration: { useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ['RESIDENTIAL'] }, }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log('Events:', items); ``` #### Python (ApifyClient) ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient('YOUR_API_TOKEN') run = client.actor('automation-lab/10times-events-scraper').call(run_input={ 'startUrls': [{'url': 'https://10times.com/london-uk/technology'}], 'maxResults': 50, 'proxyConfiguration': {'useApifyProxy': True, 'apifyProxyGroups': ['RESIDENTIAL']}, }) items = client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).list_items().items print(f'Events: {len(items)}') ``` #### cURL ```bash curl -X POST \ "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~10times-events-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "startUrls": [{"url": "https://10times.com/london-uk/technology"}], "maxResults": 50, "proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]} }' ``` ### MCP / AI assistant usage This actor is accessible via the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). Claude, GPT, and other AI assistants can call it directly when configured with the Apify MCP integration. #### Setup with Claude Desktop / Claude Code Add this specific actor to Claude via the Apify MCP server (HTTP transport): ```bash claude mcp add --transport http https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/10times-events-scraper ``` Or configure it in **Claude Desktop** (`claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify-10times": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@apify/mcp-server@latest", "--tools=automation-lab/10times-events-scraper"], "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token" } } } } ``` For **VS Code / Cursor**, add to your MCP settings JSON: ```json { "mcp": { "servers": { "apify-10times": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automation-lab/10times-events-scraper", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your-apify-token" } } } } } ``` #### Example prompts You can ask your AI assistant: - *"Use the 10times Trade Shows & Events Scraper to find upcoming pharmaceutical trade shows in New York"* - *"Find all technology conferences in London next quarter using 10times scraper"* - *"Get me a list of automotive trade shows in Germany using 10times.com"* ### Limitations - Detailed event pages (description, full organizer contacts, speaker lists) are not scraped — listing-level data only - Some events may show limited metadata if 10times.com does not display those fields on the listing page - The actor requires residential proxies to bypass Cloudflare protection ### FAQ **Q: Why am I getting empty results?**\ A: Ensure you have residential proxies configured. 10times.com blocks datacenter IPs via Cloudflare. Go to the Proxy configuration input and enable Apify Residential proxy. **Q: What URL format does 10times.com use for category pages?**\ A: Use the format `/city-country/industry`, e.g. `https://10times.com/london-uk/technology`, `https://10times.com/new-york-us/pharmaceutical`. You can find these URLs by browsing 10times.com and copying the URL from the address bar on a category listing page. **Q: Can I scrape all upcoming events globally?**\ A: Yes. Use multiple start URLs covering different cities and industries, or use the search feature with `searchQuery: "upcoming events"`. **Q: How much does it cost to scrape 1,000 events?**\ A: At FREE tier: $0.03 (start) + 1000 × $0.004506 = ~$4.536. ### Integrations Connect this actor to your existing tools and automate event intelligence workflows: - **→ Google Sheets** via [Apify → Google Sheets integration](https://apify.com/apify/google-sheets-import-export): automatically populate a live spreadsheet with trade show data for ongoing event monitoring and team collaboration - **→ Make / Zapier webhook**: trigger a workflow whenever new events are scraped — send Slack alerts, create CRM records, or add events to a project management tool - **→ CRM import (Salesforce, HubSpot)**: pipe the JSON output directly into your CRM for sales prospecting — filter by `tags` (e.g. `Tradeshow`, `IT & Technology`) and `city` to build targeted outreach lists - **→ Apify Storage → Snowflake / BigQuery**: schedule regular runs and export datasets to your data warehouse for trend analysis across quarters - **→ Notion / Airtable**: use the Apify webhook or Zapier to push each scraped event as a new database record — ideal for event marketing teams tracking sponsorship and speaking opportunities ### Related actors - [Eventbrite Scraper](https://apify.com/automation-lab/eventbrite-scraper) — scrapes events from Eventbrite - [LinkedIn Company Scraper](https://apify.com/automation-lab/linkedin-company-scraper) — extract company data from LinkedIn ### Legality This actor is intended for legitimate research, sales intelligence, and market analysis use cases.
