## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 10Times Events Scraper — trade shows, conferences and expos

Give it a city, a country or an industry and it returns the business events 10times.com lists there:
name, dates, city, country, format, industry categories, follower count, rating and the event page
URL. Plain English is fine — "New York", "Germany", "IT & Technology". You don't have to know the
site's slugs.

```json
{ "search": ["New York", "Germany", "IT & Technology"], "maxItems": 250 }
```

### What a row looks like

A listing row, from a real run:

```json
{
  "eventId": "10686",
  "editionId": "5930567",
  "slug": "the-makeup-newyork",
  "url": "https://10times.com/the-makeup-newyork",
  "name": "The Makeup Show NYC",
  "startDate": "2026-08-23",
  "endDate": "2026-08-23",
  "dateText": "Sun, 23 Aug 2026",
  "eventStatus": "EventScheduled",
  "venueName": "Metropolitan Pavilion",
  "city": "New York",
  "country": "USA",
  "countryCode": "US",
  "format": "Tradeshow",
  "categories": ["Fashion & Beauty"],
  "tagline": "Join us for the first ever iArtist Summer Camp...",
  "followers": 3192,
  "rating": 4.6,
  "source": "listing",
  "sourceInput": "New York"
}
```

Turn on `includeDetails` and each event's own page gets opened too, which adds `latitude`,
`longitude`, `organizerName`, `organizerUrl`, the full `description`, `attendanceMode`,
`ratingCount`, `exhibitorsCount`, `speakersCount`, `reviewsCount`, `timings`, `entryFee`,
`boothCost`, `estimatedVisitors`, `estimatedExhibitors`, `frequency`, `coverImageUrl` and
`priceCurrency` / `priceLow` / `priceHigh`.

Not every event publishes all of those. The Makeup Show NYC came back with 585 exhibitors, 59
speakers, 18 reviews, a 4.6 rating from 46 raters, timings, entry fee and a quarterly frequency, but
no booth cost. HIMTEX in Hyderabad had 386 exhibitors, 95 reviews and a booth cost of "Starts from
7500 INR". A field the event page doesn't carry comes back null rather than guessed.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| `search` | Cities, countries or industries by name — `"New York"`, `"Germany"`, `"IT & Technology"`, `"Medical & Pharma Events in USA"`. Slugs work too (`"newyork-us"`, `"usa/technology"`). |
| `startUrls` | 10times.com links pasted straight in. City, country, industry, `/tradeshows`, `/conferences`, `/workshops` and single event pages all work. |
| `format` | Narrows a city / country / industry target to `tradeshows`, `conferences` or `workshops`. Ignored on URLs that already name one. |
| `includeDetails` | Opens every event page for the extra fields above. One extra request per event, so runs take longer. |
| `maxItems` | Hard stop. You're charged per event returned. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Leave on Apify Proxy. See the request limit below. |

Names get matched against 10times' own type-ahead index, which listed 7,133 public listing paths when
this was written and is downloaded fresh on every run. So `"London"` resolves to `/london-uk`,
`"Sao Paulo"` to `/saopaulo-br`, `"banking"` to `/finance`.

### Limits you should know before you run it

**About 100–120 events per target.** 10times shows a signed-out visitor three pages of roughly 40
events each and then stops. Measured: `Dubai` returned 100 unique events and ran dry. That's the
site's limit, not the scraper's. If you want thousands of rows, pass many targets — one per city or
industry — rather than one broad one.

**About 40 requests per IP address.** After that 10times answers with a "log in to continue" card
instead of results. The scraper spots that card, rotates to a fresh address and carries on. Leave
`proxyConfiguration` enabled or a long run will stop early with a `GUEST_QUOTA` diagnostic row.

**Upcoming events only.** Listing pages carry what's still to come. Past editions aren't listed.

### What it doesn't do

- No attendee, visitor or exhibitor contact details. Those sit behind a 10times login and this never
  logs in.
- No speaker lists or exhibitor lists. You get the counts, not the names.
- No official event website URL. On 10times that button is JavaScript behind a sign-in wall.
  `organizerUrl` is the organiser's 10times page, not their own site.
- No past editions, no ticket purchasing.

### Price

$1.50 per 1,000 events, plus a $0.001 start fee per run. A 250-event run costs $0.376.

You're charged per event that lands in your dataset. Empty runs, sample rows, diagnostic rows and
blocked requests are never charged.

### Questions

**How do I scrape all trade shows in Germany?**
`{"search": ["Germany"], "format": "tradeshows", "maxItems": 120}`. That resolves to
`10times.com/germany/tradeshows`.

**How do I get exhibitor counts?** Set `includeDetails` to true. The count comes from the event's own
page. You get the number, not the list of companies.

**Can I scrape a single event page?** Yes. Put the link in `startUrls`, e.g.
`https://10times.com/himtex`. You get one fully detailed row.

**Does it need a 10times account or cookies?** No. It reads only what a signed-out visitor sees.

**Why did my run return a `GUEST_QUOTA` row?** It used up the guest allowance on every address it
could reach. Enable Apify Proxy in `proxyConfiguration` so it can rotate, or lower `maxItems`.

**How many events can one run return?** As many as you pass targets for. Each target gives 100–120,
so ten cities is roughly 1,000–1,200 events. A measured run over seven targets returned 300 in one
go.

**Is the output stable enough to schedule?** Yes. `eventId` and `editionId` come straight from
10times and don't change between runs, so you can diff one run against the next.

**What happens when 10times blocks a request?** You get an uncharged diagnostic row naming the reason
(`GUEST_QUOTA`, `CLOUDFLARE`, an HTTP code) instead of a silently short result set.

# Actor input Schema

## `search` (type: `array`):

What to list. Plain names work: "New York", "Germany", "IT & Technology", "Medical & Pharma Events in USA". Slugs work too: "newyork-us", "usa/technology". Each target returns up to about 120 events (10times shows guests three pages).

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Paste 10times.com links directly. City pages (https://10times.com/newyork-us), country pages (/india), industry pages (/technology), format pages (/tradeshows, /conferences, /workshops) and single event pages (https://10times.com/himtex) all work.

## `format` (type: `string`):

Narrow a city / country / industry target to one format. Ignored for URLs that already name a format.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch every event's own page to add venue name, coordinates, organiser, full description, exhibitor and review counts, timings, entry fee, booth cost, turnout estimates and frequency. Costs one extra request per event, so runs take longer.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many events. You are charged per event returned.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

10times allows a guest about 40 requests per IP address before it asks for a login, so a run that needs many pages must be able to rotate. Apify Proxy (datacenter) is enough and is what this actor uses by default.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "search": [
    "New York",
    "Germany",
    "IT & Technology"
  ],
  "startUrls": [
    "https://10times.com/newyork-us",
    "https://10times.com/himtex"
  ],
  "format": "any",
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One row per event in the default dataset: dates, venue, city and country, organiser, exhibitor and visitor counts, rating, categories and the event URL. Empty or blocked runs return a single uncharged row instead.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "search": [
    "New York"
  ]
}' |
apify call dami_studio/10times-events-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dami_studio/10times-events-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
