FAQ

Do I need a SeatGeek account or API key? No. This actor scrapes SeatGeek's public event pages directly — no login, cookies, or API key required.

How does search work? SeatGeek doesn't expose a public full-text search API outside its own JavaScript-driven site search. This actor uses SeatGeek's own SEO URL convention instead — every artist, team, and venue has a canonical seatgeek.com/{name}-tickets page — so a query like "New York Yankees" resolves directly to seatgeek.com/new-york-yankees-tickets. This covers the vast majority of real searches (exact and near-exact artist/team/venue names). Very ambiguous or misspelled queries may not resolve; use byCategory or a startUrls link instead in that case.

What categories are available? All 156 categories SeatGeek itself organizes events into — every major sports league (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, MLS, NCAA divisions, minor leagues, etc.), concerts, Broadway/theater, comedy, festivals, and more. See the category dropdown for the full list.

Is "Deal Score" included? SeatGeek's per-listing Deal Score is only computed on individual ticket-listing rows inside an event's live inventory view, which is loaded by a heavier, more aggressively bot-protected endpoint than the category/ performer/venue listing pages this actor reads. It is not part of the event-level data returned here. priceMin / priceMax / priceAverage / priceMedian and listingCount / ticketCount — SeatGeek's own aggregate pricing signals — are included instead.

How many events come back per query? SeatGeek server-renders a bounded set of upcoming events per page (typically 10–75 depending on how many a team/artist/ category currently has scheduled); further results load client-side via a "Show more" button that isn't part of the public page payload. For large categories (e.g. concerts) this is still commonly 100+ events per run.

Why do some categories or searches return 0 results? SeatGeek only lists currently scheduled upcoming events. An out-of-season sports league (e.g. NBA in the summer) or an artist between tours will legitimately have zero listed events.

Does it include venue map coordinates? Yes — venueLatitude / venueLongitude (exact geocoordinates) and venueTimezone are included for every event with a resolved venue, along with venueUrl, a direct link to that venue's own SeatGeek listing page (every upcoming event there).

How do I know if an event was rescheduled? The isRescheduled field is true for events SeatGeek has flagged as moved from their original date; it is omitted (not false) for events running as originally scheduled, consistent with this actor's omit-empty-fields convention.

Is a proxy required? No. The actor uses a browser-matching HTTP client signature by default and works reliably without any proxy. An optional Apify AUTO (free datacenter) proxy is wired in and used automatically only if a request is ever blocked.

Limitations

• **Individual event page links (listingUrl / sourceUrl) are real, correct SeatGeek URLs and open normally for a person in a real browser, but SeatGeek's bot-detection layer applies a stricter challenge to individual event-detail pages than to the category/performer/venue listing pages this actor reads — so these specific links are not reliably fetchable by any automated HTTP client (including this actor's own client) from a script or curl. This is the same class of caveat documented for other ticket-marketplace and real-estate actors in this catalog (e.g. valid-but-JS-gated detail pages) — the URL itself is correct, it just can't be re-scraped headlessly.
• Per-event ticket counts, not a page-limited count. SeatGeek server-renders a bounded set of currently-scheduled upcoming events per category/performer/venue (typically 10–75, more for broad categories like concerts); additional results load client-side via a "Show more" button that isn't part of the public page payload, so very large categories are capped at what the initial page includes.
• No public full-text search API. search mode resolves via SeatGeek's own SEO slug convention rather than a fuzzy search index — see the FAQ above.
• Per-listing "Deal Score" is not included — see the FAQ above for why.
• US marketplace only. This actor reads seatgeek.com. SeatGeek's separate country sites (e.g. seatgeek.ca) are not covered.
