How the StubHub World Cup Scraper Works

1. Loads the WC 2026 grouping page from StubHub (/world-cup-tickets/grouping/45410), which indexes all 104 match events
2. Extracts individual match event URLs from the SSR JSON embedded in the page
3. For each event page, parses listing IDs, prices, sections, rows, and quantities from the server-rendered payload
4. Saves one record per listing, enriched with event metadata (match name, venue, city, date)

FAQ

How many matches does this cover?

The StubHub World Cup Scraper covers all 104 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches — group stage through the final. It reads the full match index on every run, so new listings appear as they go on sale.

Does this work without a browser?

No browser is launched. The StubHub SPA embeds full listing data as server-side JSON in the page source, which this scraper extracts directly. Rendering is handled by Bright Data's Web Unlocker.

Can I track price changes over time?

Run the scraper on a schedule and store results in a dataset. Each listing record includes a last_seen_at timestamp and a seller_listing_id for joining runs together. Price tracking requires an external pipeline — this actor handles the data collection.

Why does this cost more than other scrapers?

StubHub uses the Akamai bot detection stack. Getting through it cleanly requires Bright Data's Web Unlocker service, which bills per request. The price_coefficient: 3.0 reflects that cost. You're still getting market data that would otherwise require manual browser sessions or a bespoke bot operation.

What happens when a match sells out?

The event page returns an empty listing set. The scraper skips it and moves to the next match. No errors, no empty records.
