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 ## Setlist.fm Scraper Scrape concert setlists from [Setlist.fm](https://www.setlist.fm) — the world's largest user-contributed concert setlist database. Find setlists by artist, fetch specific concerts by URL, or collect an artist's full concert history. No API key or login required. Uses public HTML pages only. --- ### What You Can Scrape - **Search Setlists** — find setlists by searching any artist name - **Fetch by URL** — scrape specific setlists by providing their setlist.fm URLs - **Artist Setlists** — get all available setlists for a specific artist --- ### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `mode` | Select | Scraping mode — see modes below | | `searchQuery` | Text | Artist name to search for (modes: `searchSetlists`, `artistSetlists`) | | `setlistUrls` | List | One or more setlist.fm URLs (mode: `byUrl`) | | `artistUrl` | Text | Artist page URL on setlist.fm (mode: `artistSetlists`) | | `maxItems` | Number | Maximum number of setlists to return (default: 20, max: 500) | #### Modes | Mode | Description | |------|-------------| | `searchSetlists` | Search setlists by artist name — returns the most relevant results | | `byUrl` | Fetch one or more specific setlists by providing their setlist.fm URLs | | `artistSetlists` | Fetch all setlists for an artist by artist page URL or name (paginates through all pages) | --- ### Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `setlistId` | String | Unique hex ID from the setlist URL | | `setlistUrl` | String | Full URL to the setlist on setlist.fm | | `artistName` | String | Artist/band name | | `artistMbid` | String | MusicBrainz ID (when available from artist page URL) | | `eventDate` | String | Concert date in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) | | `year` | Number | Year of the concert | | `venue` | String | Venue name | | `city` | String | City where the concert took place | | `country` | String | Country of the concert | | `countryCode` | String | ISO 2-letter country code (e.g. US, GB) | | `tourName` | String | Tour name (if part of a named tour) | | `festivalName` | String | Festival name (if it was a festival show) | | `isFestival` | Boolean | Whether the concert was a festival performance | | `songs` | Array | List of song titles performed (in order) | | `songCount` | Number | Total number of songs performed | | `setCount` | Number | Number of sets (including encores) | | `hasEncore` | Boolean | Whether the show included an encore | | `scrapedAt` | String | ISO timestamp of when data was collected | --- ### Example Usage #### Search for Radiohead setlists ```json { "mode": "searchSetlists", "searchQuery": "Radiohead", "maxItems": 20 } ```` **Example output record:** ```json { "setlistId": "23ef45ab", "setlistUrl": "https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/radiohead/2016/td-garden-boston-ma-us-23ef45ab.html", "artistName": "Radiohead", "eventDate": "2016-08-10", "year": 2016, "venue": "TD Garden", "city": "Boston", "country": "United States", "tourName": "A Moon Shaped Pool Tour", "isFestival": false, "songs": ["Burn the Witch", "Daydreaming", "Decks Dark", "Desert Island Disk", "Ful Stop", "Glass Eyes"], "songCount": 26, "setCount": 2, "hasEncore": true, "scrapedAt": "2026-05-01T12:00:00+00:00" } ``` #### Fetch specific setlists by URL ```json { "mode": "byUrl", "setlistUrls": [ "https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/radiohead/2016/td-garden-boston-ma-us-23ef45ab.html", "https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nirvana/1993/seattle-center-arena-seattle-wa-us-43c15c11.html" ] } ``` #### Get all setlists for an artist ```json { "mode": "artistSetlists", "artistUrl": "https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/radiohead-3d6bfb4f.html", "maxItems": 100 } ``` Or use searchQuery to auto-find the artist page: ```json { "mode": "artistSetlists", "searchQuery": "Pink Floyd", "maxItems": 50 } ``` *** ### Finding Artist Page URLs 1. Go to [setlist.fm](https://www.setlist.fm) and search for your artist 2. Click on the artist name to go to their setlists page 3. Copy the URL — it looks like: `https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/radiohead-3d6bfb4f.html` 4. Use that URL in the `artistUrl` input field Alternatively, just use `searchQuery` with `mode=artistSetlists` and the actor will find the artist page automatically. *** ### Understanding the Setlist ID Each setlist URL contains a unique hex ID at the end: ``` https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/radiohead/2016/td-garden-boston-ma-us-23ef45ab.html ^^^^^^^^ setlistId ``` This ID (`23ef45ab`) is extracted into the `setlistId` output field. *** ### Frequently Asked Questions **Does this require a Setlist.fm API key?**\ No. This scraper uses the public setlist.fm website HTML — no API key or account required. **How many setlists can I collect per run?**\ Up to 500 setlists per run (configurable via `maxItems`). For larger collections, run the actor multiple times. **Why might some song lists be incomplete?**\ Setlist.fm is user-contributed. Some setlists have incomplete song lists, or only show a summary. The actor fetches detail pages to maximize song data. **What's the difference between `searchSetlists` and `artistSetlists`?**\ `searchSetlists` returns the most relevant search results for an artist name. `artistSetlists` paginates through an artist's complete concert history. Use `artistSetlists` when you need all available concerts. **Can I search by song name?**\ Currently, searching is by artist name only. Setlist.fm's search is artist-focused. **Are festival appearances included?**\ Yes — the `isFestival` field indicates if a show was a festival performance, and `festivalName` contains the festival name. **What data is available for each setlist?**\ Artist name, concert date, venue, city/country, tour name, song list (in order), encore information, and a direct URL to the setlist page. *** ### Data Source This actor scrapes the public website , which hosts the world's largest collection of user-contributed concert setlists. Data accuracy depends on user contributions.
