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 ## TickPick Scraper Scrape **TickPick** — the no-fee ticket resale marketplace for concerts, sports, and theater. Browse live events by city, by performer/team, or by venue, or discover performers/teams within a category (MLB, NBA, NFL, concerts, comedy, and 80+ more). Every event record includes TickPick's real no-fee pricing (low/high ticket price), venue address, and performer details. HTTP-only, no auth, no proxy. ### What this actor does - **Four modes:** `byCity`, `byPerformer`, `byVenue`, `byCategory` - **60+ cities** and **90 categories/leagues** exposed as dropdown enums - **Real no-fee pricing** — low/high ticket price straight from TickPick's own event data - **Filters:** event date range, min/max ticket price - **Optional enrichment:** `byCategory` mode can additionally fetch each performer's upcoming events - **Empty fields are omitted** — you'll never see `null`, `""`, or `[]` in the output ### Output per event (`recordType: "event"`) - `eventId` — TickPick's numeric event ID - `eventName`, `eventDescription`, `eventImage` - `startDate`, `endDate`, `eventStatus`, `eventAttendanceMode` (`Offline` / `Online` / `Mixed`) - `venueName`, `venueUrl`, `venueCity`, `venueState`, `venueCountry` - `performers[]`, `homeTeam`, `awayTeams[]` (sports events) - `lowPrice`, `highPrice`, `price`, `priceCurrency`, `availability` - `ticketUrl` — direct link to buy on TickPick - `sourceUrl` — canonical event page URL - `category` — league/category used for the lookup (if applicable) - `recordType: "event"`, `scrapedAt` ### Output per performer directory entry (`recordType: "performer"`, mode=byCategory) - `performerName`, `performerSlug`, `category` - `performerDescription`, `performerImage` (when `enrichEvents` is on) - `sourceUrl` - `recordType: "performer"`, `scrapedAt` ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `byCity` | `byCity` / `byPerformer` / `byVenue` / `byCategory` | | `citySlug` | string (select) | `new-york` | City to browse (mode=byCity) | | `category` | string (select) | `mlb` | League/category (mode=byPerformer, byCategory) | | `performerSlugs` | array | `["boston-red-sox"]` | Performer/team URL slugs within `category` (mode=byPerformer) | | `venueSlugs` | array | `["madison-square-garden"]` | Venue URL slugs (mode=byVenue) | | `enrichEvents` | boolean | `false` | Also fetch events for each performer found (mode=byCategory) | | `dateFrom` | string | – | ISO date; drop events before this date | | `dateTo` | string | – | ISO date; drop events after this date | | `minPrice` | integer | – | Drop events priced below this (USD) | | `maxPrice` | integer | – | Drop events priced above this (USD) | | `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Hard cap on emitted records (1–2000) | #### Example: upcoming events in a city ```json { "mode": "byCity", "citySlug": "new-york", "maxItems": 50 } ```` #### Example: a team's home schedule with pricing ```json { "mode": "byPerformer", "category": "mlb", "performerSlugs": ["boston-red-sox", "new-york-yankees"], "dateFrom": "2026-07-01", "dateTo": "2026-09-30" } ``` #### Example: everything at a venue under $200 ```json { "mode": "byVenue", "venueSlugs": ["madison-square-garden"], "maxPrice": 200 } ``` #### Example: discover NBA teams and their schedules ```json { "mode": "byCategory", "category": "nba", "enrichEvents": true, "maxItems": 200 } ``` ### Use cases - **Price tracking** — monitor no-fee low/high prices for a team's home games - **Event discovery** — build a local "what's on" feed for a city - **Fan tools** — alert fans when tickets for a favorite artist/team drop below a price threshold - **Venue analytics** — compare pricing across events at the same venue - **Market research** — compare resale pricing across categories and cities ### FAQ **Is this affiliated with TickPick?** No. This is an independent third-party actor that reads TickPick's own publicly published event data (the same structured data TickPick publishes for search engines). **Why does TickPick advertise "no fees"?** TickPick builds its buyer fee into the listed price instead of adding it at checkout — the `lowPrice`/`highPrice` fields already reflect the final price you'd pay. **Why are some events missing pricing?** A small number of listings (informational/experience listings, sold-out shows) don't carry an `offers` block on TickPick's page; those fields are simply omitted rather than shown as zero or null. **Can I look up a performer without knowing its category?** Not directly — TickPick nests performer pages under a league/category prefix (e.g. `/mlb/boston-red-sox-tickets/`). Use `mode=byCategory` first to discover the exact `performerSlugs` for a given `category`. **Why does `mode=byCategory` return 0 performers for some categories?** `byCategory` discovers performers from TickPick's own site-wide navigation menu, which only features a subset of categories (major sports leagues, concerts, comedy, theater, golf, racing, MMA, and similar high-traffic categories). Niche categories (e.g. opera, ballet, circus) aren't listed in that navigation, so discovery returns 0 for them — the category page itself still exists on TickPick, it's just not crawlable this way. If you already know a performer's slug for a niche category, `mode=byPerformer` will still work directly. **How fresh is the pricing?** Every run fetches TickPick's live pages directly, so prices reflect the current live market at scrape time. **Does this cover international events?** Yes for the cities TickPick itself covers (including London, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton in addition to major US markets). # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to fetch. ## `citySlug` (type: `string`): City to browse upcoming live events in. ## `category` (type: `string`): TickPick event category / league. ## `performerSlugs` (type: `array`): TickPick performer/team URL slugs within the chosen category, e.g. `boston-red-sox`, `taylor-swift`.
