Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Shen Yun Tour Schedule & Venue Scraper Extract the complete global Shen Yun performing arts tour schedule from shenyun.com. Returns structured venue data for every current-season tour stop worldwide: venue name, city, country, show dates, ticket prices, availability status, and the raw schema.org/Event JSON-LD for downstream processing. ### What it does Shen Yun Performing Arts runs one of the world's largest touring productions — 8 simultaneous companies visiting 150–250+ venues across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia each season. This actor: 1. Fetches the master venue listing from shenyun.com (all current-season stops, ~177 cities) 2. Visits each venue's detail page and extracts the structured schema.org/Event data 3. Returns one record per venue with full location, date, pricing, and ticket link No JavaScript rendering required — all data is in server-rendered HTML as schema.org/Event JSON-LD. ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `venue_slug` | URL slug for this venue (e.g. `bjcc-concert-hall`) | | `city_slug` | City path segment (e.g. `birmingham`) | | `venue_name` | Full venue name | | `tour_company` | Organizer name from schema.org data | | `city` | City name | | `state_region` | State/region code | | `country` | Country name | | `postal_code` | Venue postal code | | `street_address` | Street address | | `show_start_date` | ISO datetime of first performance | | `show_end_date` | ISO datetime of last performance | | `show_dates` | Comma-separated start/end datetimes | | `ticket_url` | Link to purchase tickets | | `price_min_usd` | Minimum ticket price (USD) | | `price_max_usd` | Maximum ticket price (USD) | | `price_currency` | Currency code | | `sold_out` | Whether tickets are sold out | | `event_status` | EventScheduled / EventCancelled / EventPostponed | | `schema_org_jsonld` | Full schema.org/Event JSON string | | `source_url` | URL of the venue detail page | | `scrapedAt` | Scrape timestamp | ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Maximum number of venues to scrape. Omit or set to 0 for all venues in the current season. | ### Use cases - **Secondary ticket markets** — Monitor availability and pricing across all Shen Yun venues - **Travel & event aggregators** — Integrate Shen Yun into tour/concert search (Bandsintown, Songkick, etc. lack coverage) - **Press monitoring** — Track the tour footprint for news coverage - **Data analysis** — Study global touring patterns, pricing by region, sell-out rates ### Notes - Data reflects the current season — run periodically to catch newly added venues and status changes - `schema_org_jsonld` contains the complete raw Event payload for fields not surfaced individually (performer, image, description) - Pricing is the base/minimum listed in schema.org; final prices vary by seat tier on the ticketing platform - UK, Canada, and Japan venues are included; all return 200 responses with full data # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of tour venues to scrape.
