What it scrapes

Each dataset item can include:

• Event ID, name, URL, description, and best available event image
• Segment and genre names, such as Music / Jazz, Sports / Baseball, or Arts & Theatre / Miscellaneous Theatre
• Date title, subtitle, local date, TBA/TBD flags
• Venue street address, locality, region, postal code, country, and venue URL
• Ticket offer URL, availability start, price, and currency
• Price ranges when available
• Performers and performer URLs

Some fields can be null when Ticketmaster does not provide them for a record.

Input

The Apify input UI is defined in .actor/input_schema.json. The same schema is also kept at INPUT_SCHEMA.json for local review and tests. When publishing or building this actor on Apify, users should see Ticketmaster category, genre, location, date, and result-limit fields, not the starter hello-world fields.

The Apify Output tab is defined in .actor/dataset_schema.json and .actor/output_schema.json. The overview view highlights the event image, name, segment, genre, date, location, price, and event URL.

Category selection

Set one or more top-level category booleans:

Field	Description	Default
concerts	Scrape music and concert events	true
sports	Scrape sports events	false
arts-theater	Scrape arts and theater events	false
family	Scrape family events	false

If a category is enabled and no subcategory/genre is selected, the actor scrapes all known genres for that category. If selected categories cannot resolve to Ticketmaster classification IDs, the actor fails clearly instead of silently broadening to unrelated events.

Genre selection

The input schema exposes boolean fields for category-specific genres, for example:

• Concerts: rock, pop, country, jazz, hip-hop-and-rap, classical_concerts, chanson-francaise, etc.
• Sports: baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, tennis, rugby, etc.
• Arts & Theater: comedy, opera, dance, theatre, miscellaneous-theatre, classical_arts-theater, etc.
• Family: ice-shows, puppetry_family, childrens-theater, fairs-and-festivals, etc.

Some duplicate genre names use a category suffix in the schema, such as classical_concerts, classical_arts-theater, miscellaneous_sports, and miscellaneous_arts-theater.

countryCode	string	ISO Alpha-2 country code, e.g. US.

FAQ

What is a Ticketmaster scraper?

A Ticketmaster scraper is a tool that extracts structured event and ticketing data from Ticketmaster pages or APIs. This actor saves Ticketmaster event listings, dates, venues, genres, performer links, ticket URLs, and ticket price data into an Apify dataset.

Can this actor scrape Ticketmaster ticket prices?

Yes, when Ticketmaster provides pricing data in the event search response, the actor extracts offer price, currency, and price ranges. Some records may have null prices when Ticketmaster does not expose price data for that event.

Can I scrape only concerts from Ticketmaster?

Yes. Set concerts: true and keep other top-level categories false. You can also select specific concert genres such as rock, pop, country, jazz, chanson-francaise, metal, reggae, or hip-hop-and-rap.

Can I scrape Ticketmaster sports events?

Yes. Set concerts: false, sports: true, and optionally select a sports genre such as baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, tennis, or rugby.

Can I filter Ticketmaster events by location?

Yes. Use countryCode, geoHash, and distance to filter events by country and proximity radius.

Can I filter Ticketmaster events by date?

Yes. Use dateFrom, dateTo, or thisWeekendDate to restrict the Ticketmaster event results by date.

Why do some fields return null?

Ticketmaster does not expose every field for every event. For example, prices, local dates, performers, or price ranges can be missing for some records.

Does this actor use stable category filtering?

Yes. The actor uses a checked-in Ticketmaster classification map rather than scraping volatile discover-page filter HTML at runtime. This avoids silently losing category filters when Ticketmaster changes page markup.

Development

npm install
npm test
npm run lint
npm audit --omit=dev

For local actor smoke tests, residential Apify Proxy access may be required because Ticketmaster often blocks datacenter or direct traffic. Use a small input such as maxItems: 1 or 2 while testing.

Verification notes

Recent verification covered:

• Concerts smoke: Music / Jazz and Music / Pop records
• Sports baseball smoke: Sports / Baseball records
• Chanson Francaise smoke: Music / Chanson Francaise records
• Miscellaneous Theatre smoke: Arts & Theatre / Miscellaneous Theatre records
• Regression tests for category/genre map coverage, parser null-safety, invalid GraphQL payload retry behavior, and maxItems normalization

Notes

• Runs with no selected category intentionally broaden to all events.
• Runs with selected categories that resolve to zero classification IDs fail with an explicit error.
• Category and genre filtering is powered by Ticketmaster classification IDs, including IDs for concerts, sports, arts/theater, family, Chanson Francaise, Baseball, Theatre, and Miscellaneous Theatre.
