DoStuff Media Scraper

No API key. No account. Browse local events, venues, and artists across 7 US cities — get clean JSON back.

Fetches data from the DoStuff Media platform: Do512 (Austin), Do312 (Chicago), Do206 (Seattle), Do214 (Dallas), Do303 (Denver), Do317 (Indianapolis), and Do615 (Nashville).

Why this scraper?

• No API key or account required
• 7 US cities — all on the same platform with identical API structure
• Rich local event data — venue details, artists, ticket info, free/sold-out flags, imagery
• Four query modes — events, venues, artists, or list of supported cities

What you can fetch

• Events — upcoming local events with venue, artists, ticket info, and more
• Venues — venue directory for a city
• Artists — artist directory for a city
• Cities — list of all supported city slugs

Supported cities

The city field accepts either the city name slug or the site slug (e.g. austin and do512 both work).

City slug	Site slug	Site	City
austin	do512	Do512	Austin, TX
chicago	do312	Do312	Chicago, IL
seattle	do206	Do206	Seattle, WA
dallas	do214	Do214	Dallas, TX
denver	do303	Do303	Denver, CO
indianapolis	do317	Do317	Indianapolis, IN
nashville	do615	Do615	Nashville, TN

Four cities were previously listed — Cleveland (Do216), New Orleans (Do504), Charlotte (Do704) and Charleston (Do843). Those sites are permanently gone at the source (their domains no longer resolve; Do504 redirects to a DoStuff "coming soon" placeholder), so they were removed on 2026-09-10. Requesting one now returns a 400 naming the cities that are actually available.

Input fields

Field	Type	Description
queryType	select	events (default), venues, artists, or cities
city	select	City name slug or site slug (austin or do512). Required for events, venues, artists. Use cities to see all options
page	integer	Page number for pagination (default 1)

Output

Each run pushes one item per event, venue, or artist to the dataset.

Field	Description
id	DoStuff entity ID
title	Event, venue, or artist name
permalink	Path to the DoStuff page for this item (e.g. /events/2026/9/10/...)
begin_time	Event start time (ISO 8601)
end_time	Event end time (ISO 8601) — often null; DoStuff only sets it on some events
venue	Venue object (title, address, city, state, latitude, longitude, capacity)
artists	Array of artists on the bill (title, permalink, hometown, spotify_id, …)
category	Event category label (e.g. Live Music), with category_param as its slug
is_free	Whether the event is free
sold_out	Whether the event is sold out
ticket_info	Free-text price/age note (e.g. "$25, All Ages") — empty on many events
buy_url	Ticket purchase URL — empty on events with no ticket link
imagery	Event image paths, relative to the photos_base CDN prefix in the response
queryType	Query type that produced this item

Events carry more upstream fields than are listed here (description, excerpt, doors, popularity, rsvp, and others) — the actor pushes the full upstream object, so they come through too.

Upstream limitations

Two things DoStuff's own API does not support, documented here so you don't build around them:

• No category filtering. DoStuff's events.json accepts a category parameter but ignores it — every value, including a nonsense one, returns the identical unfiltered feed in the same order. This scraper previously offered a category input; it was removed on 2026-09-10 rather than left in place doing nothing. Every event still carries category and category_param, so you can filter the dataset afterwards.
• No keyword search. There is no text-search endpoint on the DoStuff platform — browse a city and filter the results yourself.

Use cases

• Local event discovery — power city-specific event feeds without a Ticketmaster account
• Free event finder — filter on is_free to surface free local events
• Multi-city aggregation — run across all 7 cities for a national local-events dataset
• Venue intelligence — extract venue directories for specific cities
