Dice.fm Scraper

No API key. No account. Look up an artist's or venue's upcoming shows, browse a city's events, search by name, filter by genre or date — or pull the full worldwide city and venue directories. Clean JSON back.

Updated October 2026 (v2.0): city browsing, search and artist/venue lookups by name work again. search now matches an artist, venue or city name (not words inside event titles) and returns full event detail; city/country/date/genre filters now also apply to search, artist and venue results; the city directory covers ~800 cities (fields changed — see below). Page inputs are replaced by one Max results setting (limit, default 1000; 0 = all), and city no longer defaults to London.

Fetches event data from Dice.fm: dates, venues, lineups, ticket types, pricing, images, and genre tags.

Why this scraper?

• No Dice.fm account or API key required
• Six query modes — artist events, venue events, browse (city/country/genre/date filters), name search, and the city + venue directories
• Rich event data — dozens of fields per event including ticket pricing, lineup with set times, multiple image formats, age limits, and sold-out status
• Exact artist, venue & city filtering — every result is genuinely scoped to what you asked for (not a fuzzy keyword match), with full pagination

What you can fetch

• Artist events — all upcoming shows for a specific artist, filtered exactly by artist ID
• Venue events — all upcoming events at a specific venue, filtered exactly by venue ID
• Browse events — filter by city, country, date range, and/or genre/type tag
• Search by name — type an artist, venue or city name and get its upcoming events
• City directory — ~800 cities with Dice venues, with IDs, country codes and timezones
• Venue directory — ~5,900 venues worldwide with names, coordinates, and IDs

How artist / venue / city lookup works: you pass a name, and the scraper matches it exactly (ignoring case and accents) against Dice's own public lists — the artist pages Dice publishes, its venue directory and its city directory — then fetches that ID's exact event list. Partial names don't match (Four Tet works, Four doesn't). If nothing matches you get an empty result with the resolved ID null, never an unfiltered feed.

• Shared names: several artists (e.g. Ash) or venues can share a name — all of them are listed in resolved.matches and their events come back together. Pass a numeric ID to pick one. For cities (Manchester, Portland, London…) the one with the most Dice venues is used; add country to pick another.
• IDs skip the lookup: numeric artist/venue IDs and city IDs are used directly. Get city IDs from queryType=cities, venue IDs from queryType=venues.
• Speed: the first artist-name lookup in a run loads Dice's artist list (~139,000 artists), which takes about 30 seconds. Lookups by ID, venue and city don't need it.

Not supported (confirmed genuinely dead upstream): filtering by status, sold-out, or sort order. Dice's public events API has no working parameter for these in any form (checked singular, plural, and ID variants). Results come date-ascending by default. See core/api.md for the full investigation.

Usage

Choose a queryType and provide the appropriate inputs.

Get all upcoming shows for an artist

{ "queryType": "artist", "performer": "Bicep" }

Get all events at a venue

{ "queryType": "venue", "venue": "Public Records" }

Browse events in a city

{ "queryType": "browse", "city": "London" }

Browse events across a country

{ "queryType": "browse", "country": "GB", "genreTag": "gig:techno" }

Browse events in a date range

{ "queryType": "browse", "dateFrom": "2027-03-01", "dateTo": "2027-03-31" }

Search by artist, venue or city name

{ "queryType": "search", "q": "Four Tet" }

q is tried as an artist name, then a venue name, then a city name; the first that has upcoming events wins (resolved.matchedAs says which). Words that only appear in event titles (e.g. halloween party) don't match anything.

Get the city or venue directory

{ "queryType": "cities" }

Input fields

Field	Type	Description
queryType	select	browse (default), search, artist, venue, cities, or venues
q	string	An artist, venue or city name (e.g. Four Tet, fabric, Berlin). Required for queryType=search
performer	string	Artist name (exact, e.g. Bicep), or a numeric Dice artist ID to skip name lookup. Required for queryType=artist
venue	string	Venue name (exact, e.g. Public Records), or a numeric Dice venue ID (from queryType=venues) to skip name lookup. Required for queryType=venue
city	string	Filter by city — a city name (e.g. London, New York) or a Dice city ID (from queryType=cities) — honored (browse, search, artist, venue)
country	string	Filter by ISO-2 country code (e.g. GB, US, DE) — events across all of that country's Dice cities — honored (browse, search, artist, venue)
dateFrom	string	Start of date range in YYYY-MM-DD format — honored (every event mode)
dateTo	string	End of date range in YYYY-MM-DD format — honored
genreTag	string	Filter by genre tag (e.g. gig:techno, gig:hardrock, culture:foodanddrink) — honored
typeTag	string	Filter by top-level type tag (e.g. music:gig, culture:sport) — honored
limit	integer	Max results — stop after this many events (default 1000). Set 0 for every matching event. The scraper pages through Dice for you and stops as soon as it has enough.

Output

Each run pushes one item per event (or venue) to the dataset.

Note on queryType=search: results are full events (same fields as browse), because search resolves the name to an artist, venue or city and then fetches that ID's events.

Note on resolved (artist / venue / search / city-filtered modes): the response includes a resolved object showing what your names matched — e.g. { "artistId": "620", "artistIds": ["620"], "matches": [{ "artistId": "620", "name": "BICEP", "url": "https://dice.fm/artist/bicep-dkko" }], "name": "Bicep" }, { "q": "fabric", "matchedAs": "venue", "matches": [...] } for search, or { "city": "London", "country": null, "cityIds": ["54d8a23438fe5d27d500001c"] }. If nothing matched, the IDs are null/empty and data is empty (the filter is never silently dropped).

Note on artists and price (browse results): in practice, Dice.fm's browse feed returns [] for artists and null for price on the large majority of events (confirmed across 100+ live events) — most listings carry their lineup in lineup instead and their pricing in ticket_types. Fields are documented as-is (not removed) since they're real, populated fields on queryType=search results and on some browse events.
