Bandsintown Scraper

No API key. No account. Type an artist name — get their upcoming concerts anywhere in the world.

Fetches artist profiles and event data from the Bandsintown REST API: tour dates, venues, locations, ticket links, and lineup in clean JSON.

Why this scraper?

• No Bandsintown account or API key required
• Search by name or ID — use the artist's name for convenience, or their Bandsintown ID to skip lookup entirely
• Flexible date filtering — upcoming shows, past shows, all shows, or a specific date range
• Three query modes — artist profile only, events only, or both in one run

What you can fetch

• Artist profile — name, image, tracker count, upcoming event count, social links
• Upcoming events — full tour schedule with dates, venues, cities, and ticket links
• Past events — historical show data
• Date range — events within a specific window (e.g. 2026-06-01,2026-08-31)
