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 ## Gametime Scraper Scrape **Gametime** — a US/Canada ticket resale marketplace for concerts, sports, and theater. Browse events by performer, team, or venue name, by metro area, or by category, with date-range filtering and live "from $X" pricing. No login, no API key, no residential proxy required. ### What this actor does - **Three modes:** `byCategory` (concerts / sports / theater), `search` (performer, team, or venue name), `byCity` (any of Gametime's 78 US/Canada metro areas) - **Date range filter** works across every mode - **Live pricing:** minimum and maximum ticket price per event - **Full venue detail:** name, city, state, country, coordinates, and venue page URL - **Empty fields are omitted** — every record only contains fields that were actually available ### Output per event - `eventId` — Gametime internal event ID - `name` — event title - `localDateTime` — event start date/time in the venue's local timezone - `eventDate` — event date (`YYYY-MM-DD`), used for date-range filtering - `utcDateTime` — event start in UTC - `dateTbd`, `timeTbd` — true if the date/time is not yet confirmed - `category` — Gametime's specific sub-category (e.g. `nfl`, `music`, `pga`) - `categoryGroup` — `Concerts` / `Sports` / `Theater` - `performers[]` — every performer/team/artist billed on the event - `performerImageUrl` — hero image of the primary performer - `genres[]` — genre tags for the primary performer (concerts), when available - `venueName`, `venueAddress`, `venuePostalCode`, `venueCity`, `venueState`, `venueCountry` - `venueUrl` — Gametime venue page - `venueLatitude`, `venueLongitude` - `venueImageUrl` — venue/seating image - `minPrice`, `maxPrice` — ticket price range (USD) - `flashDealPrice` — limited-time discounted price, when Gametime is running one - `eventUrl` — Gametime event/ticket page - `recordType: "event"`, `scrapedAt` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `byCategory` | `byCategory` / `search` / `byCity` | | `searchQuery` | string | `New York Yankees` | Performer, team, or venue name (mode=search) | | `city` | string | `newyork` | One of Gametime's 78 supported metro areas (mode=byCity) | | `category` | string | `concerts` | `concerts` / `sports` / `theater` (mode=byCategory) | | `dateFrom` | string | – | Only events on/after this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`), all modes | | `dateTo` | string | – | Only events on/before this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`), all modes | | `maxItems` | int | `50` | Hard cap on emitted records (1–1000) | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | AUTO | Optional Apify proxy; not required | #### Example: browse concerts ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "category": "concerts", "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example: browse sports in a date range ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "category": "sports", "dateFrom": "2026-09-01", "dateTo": "2026-09-30", "maxItems": 100 } ``` #### Example: search by team ```json { "mode": "search", "searchQuery": "New York Yankees", "maxItems": 30 } ``` #### Example: browse by metro area ```json { "mode": "byCity", "city": "lasvegas", "maxItems": 50 } ``` ### Use cases - **Ticket price tracking** — monitor "from $X" prices over time for an artist, team, or venue - **Event calendars** — build a local events feed for a metro area - **Market research** — compare price ranges across venues or categories - **Fan tools** — alert on new upcoming shows for a favorite performer or team - **Venue analytics** — track upcoming event volume at a specific venue ### Data Source / Limitations Data comes from Gametime's public mobile-app API (gametime.co) — no login or account is required to view listings. `search` resolves a free-text name to the single best-matching performer, team, or venue on Gametime; if a query has no match, the actor returns 0 records with a clear status message instead of guessing. `byCity` uses Gametime's own curated list of 78 US/Canada metro areas — smaller markets not on that list aren't individually addressable. Gametime only lists **upcoming** events — a `dateTo` in the past will always return 0 records, since past events are never listed. ### FAQ **Is this affiliated with Gametime?** No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads Gametime's public API. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Gametime. **Why does `search` sometimes return 0 records for a name I know is on Gametime?** Two reasons: (1) the performer/team/venue has no upcoming events listed right now — ticket marketplaces only carry future events, so an artist between tours will show 0; (2) the name didn't resolve to a match on Gametime. Try the exact name as it appears on gametime.co. **Why is my city not in the `city` dropdown?** Gametime organizes browsing around 78 curated metro areas (major US and Canadian markets) rather than every individual city. Pick the nearest metro area from the dropdown, or use `search` with a specific team/venue name instead. **Do I need a proxy?** No. The actor works reliably without any proxy configuration. An optional Apify AUTO (datacenter) proxy can be enabled for extra IP diversity, but it is not required and no paid/residential proxy is ever needed. **How fresh is the pricing data?** Prices reflect live resale marketplace listings at the time the actor runs — they change frequently as tickets are bought and sold. **Are prices in USD?** Yes, all price fields are in US dollars. **Can I filter by date range and category/performer/city at the same time?** Yes — `dateFrom`/`dateTo` apply on top of whichever mode you choose. **What happens if I request more items than exist?** The actor returns as many real records as exist (up to `maxItems`) and stops — it never fabricates placeholder records. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to browse. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Name of an artist, sports team, or venue, e.g. `Taylor Swift`, `New York Yankees`, `Madison Square Garden`. ## `city` (type: `string`): US/Canada metro area recognized by Gametime. ## `category` (type: `string`): Gametime's top-level event category. ## `dateFrom` (type: `string`): Only include events on or after this date (`YYYY-MM-DD`).
