Resident Advisor (RA) Events & Music Data Scraper

What does Resident Advisor Scraper do?

Resident Advisor Scraper extracts events from Resident Advisor (ra.co) by city, plus the venues, promoters, artists and labels behind them and RA's news, reviews, features and podcasts. Paste an RA URL, set a result cap and download clean, structured data without an official API.

Why scrape Resident Advisor?

• Nightlife and club listings: build a city event calendar with start and end times already converted to the right UTC offset for each city.
• Promoter and venue research: find who runs which nights, venue capacity and coordinates, follower counts and contact links that RA shows publicly.
• Booking and artist intelligence: see lineups, linked artist profiles, genres and how many people marked themselves as attending.
• Music editorial monitoring: track RA news, album reviews, features and podcast episodes over any date range.

How to scrape Resident Advisor

1. Create a free Apify account if you don't have one.
2. Open Resident Advisor Scraper and click Try for free.
3. Add one or more RA URLs, for example a city page such as https://ra.co/events/uk/london.
4. Set Maximum records to cap the run, and switch on Get full event details if you want descriptions, lineups and venue details.
5. Click Start and download results from the Dataset tab as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

Which URLs are supported?

URL	What you get
https://ra.co/events/{country}/{city}	Events for that city over your date range
https://ra.co/events/{id}	One event with full detail
https://ra.co/clubs/{id}	A venue
https://ra.co/promoters/{id}	A promoter
https://ra.co/dj/{slug}	An artist
https://ra.co/labels/{id}	A label
https://ra.co/news/{id}, /reviews/{id}, /features/{id}, /podcast/{id}	One article with full content
https://ra.co/news, /reviews, /features, /podcasts	Articles published in your date range

City pages work for the United Kingdom (uk), United States (us), Germany (de), Netherlands (nl), Spain (es), Australia (au) and Japan (jp). A city page for any other country is skipped with a warning and the rest of your run continues. Event, venue, promoter, artist, label and article URLs work for any country.

Use RA's own country code in the URL: the United Kingdom is uk, not gb.

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	Array	required	RA URLs to scrape (up to 50, at most 10 city pages)
maxItems	Number	100	Total records across all URLs (maximum 10,000)
getEventDetails	Boolean	true	Add description, lineup, venue capacity and coordinates; set to false for listing-only events
dateFrom, dateTo	String	next 30 days (events) / last 30 days (feeds)	YYYY-MM-DD or relative such as 7 days; both ends inclusive
getArticleDetails	Boolean	false	Add blurb and full content to feed articles
maxConcurrency	Number	2	Parallel requests (1 to 4)
maxRequests	Number	2000	Hard request budget; the run stops cleanly when it is reached

URLs are processed in order and share one maxItems cap, so put the pages you care about most first.

Example input

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://ra.co/events/de/berlin" }],
  "maxItems": 200,
  "dateFrom": "2026-10-10",
  "dateTo": "2026-10-17",
  "getEventDetails": true
}

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://ra.co/reviews" }, { "url": "https://ra.co/podcasts" }],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "dateFrom": "90 days",
  "dateTo": "0 days"
}

Output

Each item is saved to the Dataset tab. Records of different kinds share one dataset; recordType tells them apart, and the dataset views show only the columns that suit each kind.

Sample output

  "url": "https://ra.co/events/2524382",

  "priceCurrency": "GBP",
  "priceConfidence": "high",
  "venue": { "id": "267817", "name": "Example Club", "capacity": 170 },
  "artists": [{ "id": "98659", "name": "Example DJ" }],

}

Tips

• RA's price field is free text. priceText is always the source of truth; priceMin and priceMax are filled only when the text is unambiguous, and an empty price is never reported as free.
• Event records can appear under several listing days (festivals). You get one record per event, with every day it was listed in listingDates.
• Set maxItems before a large run. Full event details cost one extra request per event.
• Every run writes a RUN_SUMMARY record to the key-value store with counts, skipped URLs and any coverage warnings.

FAQ

Is scraping Resident Advisor legal?

Resident Advisor Scraper only extracts publicly available data. Always check the site's Terms of Service and make sure you have a legitimate purpose for the data.

Why did a city page get skipped?

City pages are supported for seven countries (listed above). Other countries are skipped with a warning rather than guessed.

Does it return ticket prices per tier?

No. RA publishes a single free-text price line per event, which is returned as priceText with a parsed range where possible.

Does it return private or ticketing data?

No. Only public pages' information is returned; there is no ticket-sales, guest-list or account data.
