Scrape international trade shows and exhibitions from EventsEye.com — a comprehensive directory of 12,000+ B2B events worldwide.
What it does
This actor performs a hierarchical crawl of EventsEye.com to extract structured data for every trade show in the directory:
- Category index — discovers all 32 industry category pages
- Category listings — paginates each category, collecting links to individual show pages
- Show detail pages — extracts full structured data for each event
You can also supply specific EventsEye URLs directly via startUrls to skip the full crawl and target only the shows you care about.
