## 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`).

# README

## BilletReduc Events Scraper (France)

Scrape [BilletReduc](https://www.billetreduc.com), one of France's main discount ticketing sites, for shows, tickets and events: title, venue, city, dates, price range, category and rating, ready for aggregators, alerts and local listings.

### What you can do with it

- **Build an events aggregator**: pull current theatre, comedy and live show listings across France into your own site or app.
- **Monitor prices**: track the discounted price range BilletReduc shows for a given run of shows.
- **Find what's on in a city**: export every listed event with its venue, address and city for a local "what's on" page.
- **Bulk export the catalog**: run with a high `maxItems` (and `startPage` on later runs) to build a dataset of the whole current listing.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Maximum number of events | The run stops once this many events are saved. |
| Start sitemap shard | BilletReduc splits its event sitemap into numbered shards. Set this above 1 on a later run to continue a bulk export instead of re-scraping the same events. |

### Output

One record per event:

```json
{
  "id": "122020",
  "url": "https://www.billetreduc.com/spectacle/au-secours-le-prince-aubert-a-disparu-122020",
  "title": "Au secours ! Le Prince Aubert a disparu !",
  "category": "Théâtre",
  "tags": ["Théâtre", "Comédie"],
  "audienceTags": ["Tout petits 3-6 ans", "Enfants 6-12 ans", "Ados 12-16 ans", "Bébés 1-3 ans"],
  "venueName": "Théâtre Le Bout",
  "street": "6 rue Frochot",
  "postalCode": "75009",
  "city": "Paris",
  "country": "FR",
  "startDate": "2026-10-07T15:00:00+02:00",
  "endDate": "2027-02-03T15:00:00+01:00",
  "priceMin": 11.95,
  "priceMax": 14.5,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "ratingValue": 9,
  "ratingCount": 450,
  "imageUrl": "https://www.billetreduc.com/zg/n1920/vz-ab0b3928-4490-4b60-956f-099a9a35db96.jpeg",
  "description": "Humour et suspense, 15ème année de succès non-stop à Paris !\nQui retrouvera le Prince Aubert ? Au fil du spectacle, les indices sont donnés.",
  "performers": ["Jérôme Leroi", "Léonard Duc", "Charles Cadudal", "Lisa Chevallier", "Alison Demay", "Farrah Tadrist", "Anne-Charlotte Rey"],
  "directors": []
}
```

Export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the Apify API.

### Good to know

- Events come from BilletReduc's own sitemap, in the order the site lists them, not sorted by date or popularity: there is no keyword or city search on the site to filter by.
- `performers` and `directors` list the artists billed for the show, taken from the page's own public artist credits; reviews and reviewer names are never collected.
- `priceMin` and `priceMax` are empty when BilletReduc shows no price for an event (for example when it is sold out).
- `ratingValue` and `ratingCount` are empty for events with no public rating yet.
- `city` is empty for the rare venue BilletReduc has not geocoded; `street` and `postalCode` are still filled in that case.
- No browser and no proxy needed: runs are fast and cheap.
- The dataset contains show and venue information only. No personal data about customers or reviewers is collected.

### Why this one

- **Discount ticketing data.** BilletReduc is a discount ticketing site, so each show carries a price range in `priceMin` and `priceMax`.
- **Ready for a calendar.** `venueName`, `city`, `startDate` and `endDate` are separate fields.

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$2.00 per 1,000 events**, plus $0.00005 per run start. For example, 100 events cost about $0.20. You only pay for the events you receive, and platform usage is included in that price.

### Run it from your code

JavaScript:

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('bibian/billetreduc-events-scraper').call({
  maxItems: 50,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
```

Python:

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("bibian/billetreduc-events-scraper").call(run_input={
    "maxItems": 50
})
items = client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items
```

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need an account, cookies or a proxy for BilletReduc?** No. The actor reads publicly visible pages only.

**How do I keep an event calendar up to date?** Schedule a daily run with Apify Schedules, deduplicate on the `id` field and use `startDate` and `endDate` to drop past events.

**Which formats can I export?** JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML table or RSS, from the dataset page or through the API.

**Can I connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets?** Yes, through Apify integrations and webhooks.

**Is it legal to scrape?** The actor collects publicly visible event listings and respects the robots.txt rules of the site. How you use the data is your responsibility: check the site's terms and the laws that apply to you, for example the GDPR.

**Something does not work?** Open an issue in the Issues tab. Every public actor is test-run daily and the broken ones are repaired.

**Did this save you time?** A short review on the Store page helps other people find the actor, and tells me what to improve next.

## MCP server setup

```json

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
