# Resident Advisor Events Scraper — Lineups, Venues & Guests (`bovi/residentadvisor-events-scraper`) Actor Scrape Resident Advisor (ra.co) event listings for any city and date range via RA's official GraphQL API. Get title, date, start/end time, venue, full artist lineup, flyer image, ticketed status and guests-attending count. Pay per result. No login or proxy key needed. - **URL**: https://apify.com/bovi/residentadvisor-events-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Vitalii Bondarev](https://apify.com/bovi) (community) - **Categories:** Travel, Marketing - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $18.43 / 1,000 events This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## Resident Advisor Events Scraper Scrape **Resident Advisor (ra.co)** event listings for any city and date range via RA's official GraphQL API. No login, no external proxy key — runs on Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy out of the box. **Pay per result.** ### What you get (one record per event) | Field | Description | |---|---| | `eventId` | Stable RA event ID | | `title` | Event name | | `date` | Listing date | | `startTime` / `endTime` | Start & end timestamps | | `venue` / `venueUrl` / `venueId` | Venue name, RA page, stable ID | | `artists` | Full lineup as a comma-separated string | | `artistList` / `artistIds` | Lineup as a list + stable artist IDs | | `guestsAttending` | Number of people marked attending (demand signal) | | `isTicketed` | Whether the event sells tickets on RA | | `flyer` | Event flyer image URL | | `raPickBlurb` | RA editorial "pick" blurb, when present | | `url` | Event page URL | | `scrapedAt` | When this record was scraped | The fields above the line match what other RA scrapers emit; `artistList`, `artistIds`, `venueId`, `guestsAttending`, `isTicketed`, `flyer` and `raPickBlurb` are the extras this actor adds. ### Input | Field | Type | Notes | |---|---|---| | `area` | integer | **Required.** RA area (city) code. Find it in the ra.co events URL — `ra.co/events/uk/london` is `13`. e.g. London 13, New York 8, Berlin 34, Amsterdam 23. | | `startDate` | string | `YYYY-MM-DD`, inclusive. Default: today (UTC). | | `endDate` | string | `YYYY-MM-DD`, inclusive. Default: `startDate` + 7 days. | | `maxItems` | integer | Cap on events. Default 100. `0` = no limit. | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | Default Apify RESIDENTIAL. | #### Example ```json { "area": 13, "startDate": "2026-06-18", "endDate": "2026-06-25", "maxItems": 100 } ```` ### How it works Posts the `GET_EVENT_LISTINGS` operation to `https://ra.co/graphql` (RA's own public web API), paginates the area + date range, and flattens each event into a flat record. Requests are routed through a residential proxy and retried with backoff on rate-limit / transient network errors. ### Notes - Area codes are RA's internal city IDs — copy them from the ra.co events URL. - `guestsAttending` reflects RA's "attending" count at scrape time. - Billing event: `event-listing` (one charge per event record). # Actor input Schema ## `area` (type: `integer`): Resident Advisor area (city) code. Find it in the ra.co events URL for a city — e.g. ra.co/events/uk/london is area 13. Examples: London 13, New York 8, Berlin 34, Amsterdam 23. Required. ## `startDate` (type: `string`): First listing date to include (inclusive). Format YYYY-MM-DD. Leave empty for today (UTC). ## `endDate` (type: `string`): Last listing date to include (inclusive). Format YYYY-MM-DD. Leave empty for start date + 7 days. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of events to return. Default 100. Set 0 for no limit (drains every page in the date range). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy used to reach ra.co. Apify RESIDENTIAL is recommended and used by default — no external proxy key required. ## Actor input object example ```json { "area": 13, "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Dataset of RA event records (eventId, title, date, startTime, endTime, venue, venueUrl, artists, guestsAttending, isTicketed, flyer, url). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "area": 13, "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("bovi/residentadvisor-events-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
