Resident Advisor Events Scraper

Extract event data from Resident Advisor (RA.co) — the world's largest electronic music platform. Get event details, lineups, ticket links, and more as structured JSON.

Features

Scrape events by:

• AREA/CITY — Amsterdam, Berlin, London, or any RA-listed location
• VENUE — Specific clubs like Berghain, fabric, or Shelter
• ARTIST — Specific DJ or artist
• EVENT ID — Single event or range of events

Use cases

• Event aggregator apps — Build a music event discovery platform with RA data
• DJ tour tracking — Monitor when your favorite artists are playing near you
• Nightlife analytics — Analyze electronic music trends by city, genre, or venue
• Calendar integrations — Sync RA events to Google Calendar, Notion, or Airtable
• Notification bots — Get alerts when artists announce new shows

Usage

Provide one or more RA URLs and the scraper extracts all upcoming events.

Input

Parameter	Description	Required	Default
startUrls	RA URLs to scrape (venues, areas, or artists). Mixing URL types is allowed.	Yes	—
maxItems	Maximum events to scrape. Use for testing or limiting output.	No	0 (no limit)
enforceMaxItems	Strictly enforce maxItems by stopping request generation.	No	true
maxErrors	Maximum errors before stopping.	No	0 (no limit)
maxDuration	Maximum run duration in seconds.	No	0 (no limit)
downloadDelay	Delay between requests in milliseconds.	No	1500
proxyConfiguration	Apify proxy settings.	No	—

Note: The scraper stops gracefully and finishes processing current requests, so maxItems, maxErrors, and maxDuration may be slightly exceeded.

Integrations

Connect Resident Advisor data to other apps using Apify integrations:

• Google Sheets — Export RA events to spreadsheets
• Slack/Discord — Send notifications for new events
• Zapier/Make — Automate workflows with RA event data
• Webhooks — Push data to your own API endpoints

Limitations

• Artist and venue URLs are capped at 100 events — this limit is not expected to be hit in practice
• Only upcoming and public events are included
• Results are unordered — sort by date in post-processing if needed

Error handling

The scraper logs detailed information during execution:

• INFO: Total events found per URL
• WARNING: No events found, or 100-event limit reached
• ERROR: Invalid artist, venue, or area URL

All errors are non-blocking — the scraper continues processing remaining URLs.

RA occasionally lists duplicate events. The scraper returns them as is.
