Limitations

• Artist and venue URLs are capped at 100 events. This limit is not expected to be hit in practice.

Logs and Error Handling

The actor provides detailed logging during execution:

ℹ️ Info

• Total events found for each URL.

RA occasionally lists duplicate events, so the actual number of output events may be lower. This is visible on their website too.

⚠️ Warnings

• No events found for a URL.
• Artist or venue event count reached the 100-event limit.

❌ Errors

• Artist, venue, or area is invalid.

All errors and warnings are non-blocking -- the actor keeps going.

Notes

• Only upcoming and public events are included.
• The order of results is not guaranteed -- sort them post-processing as needed.
• This project is not affiliated with RA. Please use responsibly.
