Provide exactly one of: artist, city, venue, or event. Optionally provide the corresponding ID field to skip name matching entirely.

Artist example

City example

{ "city": "New York" }

{ "city": "London", "country": "GB" }

Venue example

{ "venue": "House of Blues San Diego" }

Event example

{ "event": "43085550" }

{ "event": "https://www.songkick.com/concerts/43085550-bruno-mars-at-allegiant-stadium" }

Returns full details for a single event including ticket availability (InStock, SoldOut, etc.) and sale date — fields not available in bulk searches.

Name matching

The scraper uses a three-step resolution process:

1. Exact match — proceeds silently
2. Fuzzy match — strips punctuation and accents, auto-selects with a warning listing alternatives in the log
3. Suggestions — if still ambiguous, pushes suggestion items to the dataset with IDs and a hint field so you can rerun with precision

To skip name matching entirely on a rerun, use the ID fields: artistId, cityId, venueId, or eventId.
