Scrapes AKC-sanctioned dog show events and competition results from the American Kennel Club event search. Returns event details including venue, club, dates, superintendent, premium list and entry information for conformation, agility, obedience, rally, and other event types.
What it does
Queries the AKC Event Search API (https://webapps.akc.org/event-search/api/search/events) and returns structured event records for all competition types: conformation, agility, obedience, rally, scent work, field trials, herding, earthdog, lure coursing, tracking, and more.
The actor splits a user-provided date range into 2-week windows (staying under the API's 1,000-event-per-request cap) and issues one POST request per window, collecting all results.
Use cases
- Find upcoming dog shows in your area for a specific date range
- Track competition schedules for clubs, kennel clubs, or individual exhibitors
- Monitor entry opening/closing dates for specific events
- Build event calendars or integration feeds for dog show participants

Notes
- The AKC Event Search API returns up to 1,000 events per request. The actor automatically splits large date ranges into 2-week windows to avoid truncation.
- No authentication or proxy is required — the AKC API is publicly accessible.
- A typical 6-month range returns several thousand events across all competition types.
