⚙️ How It Works

The Eventbrite Events Scraper accepts a city and an optional keyword, builds the corresponding Eventbrite discovery URL, and fetches the page. The HTML is parsed with BeautifulSoup to locate event links matching Eventbrite's ticket/registration URL pattern. For each unique event found, the Actor extracts the event ID, title, and a nearby date hint by walking up the surrounding page structure. Extracted events are capped at the configured maximum and pushed to the Apify Dataset in a single batch.

Key Processing Steps:

1. Input Parsing – Accept city, optional keyword, and max events
2. Proxy Setup – Configure Apify residential proxy
3. City Slugging – Convert city name into a URL-safe slug
4. URL Construction – Build the Eventbrite discovery URL for the city (and keyword, if given)
5. Page Fetch – Request the Eventbrite discovery page
6. HTML Parsing – Parse the page with BeautifulSoup
7. Event Link Matching – Identify event links via ticket/registration URL pattern
8. Deduplication – Skip event IDs already captured
9. Date Hint Extraction – Scan nearby text for recognizable date patterns
10. Result Capping – Stop once the configured max is reached
11. Dataset Push – Push extracted events in batch
12. Summary Logging – Report total events found

Key Benefits:

• Discover Eventbrite Events happening in any city without manual browsing
• Track local event trends by keyword or category
• Build a live events feed for a website or newsletter
• Monitor competitor or industry events in your area
• Automate recurring event discovery runs
