10times Events Scraper — Trade Shows & Conferences

Scrape trade shows, conferences, exhibitions, and workshops from 10times.com — the largest B2B events database (200,000+ events across 100+ industries). Returns flat, MCP-ready records per event: ISO dates, venue with GPS coordinates, organizer, industry categories, attendance estimates, and the canonical 10times URL.

Three input modes (URL, search, city), Cloudflare-grade residential proxies by default, and JSON-LD-first extraction for resilient field coverage.

When to use this Actor

• B2B sales prospecting — find decision-makers attending or organizing relevant events
• Sponsorship and exhibitor research — qualify events by visitor estimate, frequency, rating
• Competitive intelligence — track where competitors exhibit
• Event-tech aggregation — build niche directories with structured data
• AI agent workflows — "find me fintech conferences in Berlin in Q3 2026"

When NOT to use this Actor

• For ticket sales / cultural events with paid tickets, use the eventbrite-events-scraper instead

Pricing — Pay Per Event (premium tier)

Event	Price	Notes
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	Charged once per run (per GB of memory)
event-scraped	$0.005	Charged once per event returned in the dataset

Typical run cost:

• 50 events: ~$0.25
• 500 events: ~$2.50

Both PPE and Pay-Per-Usage are enabled on this Actor — buyers can pick either at run time. PPE gives you predictable per-event billing; Pay-Per-Usage suits heavy users running multi-thousand-event jobs.

Input — three modes (pick one)

Mode 1: Start URLs

Paste 10times URLs directly. Supports event detail pages, city listings, category listings, and search URLs.

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://10times.com/ces-las-vegas",
    "https://10times.com/berlin",
    "https://10times.com/conferences"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100
}

Mode 2: Search query

Free-text search across all of 10times. Combine with country and date filters.

{
  "searchQuery": "fintech",
  "country": "DE",
  "startDate": "2026-06-01",
  "endDate": "2026-12-31",
  "maxItems": 50

Mode 3: City slug

Browse all events in a given city. Combine with industry category, event type, and dates.

{
  "city": "berlin",

  "category": "technology",
  "maxItems": 50
}

All input fields

• startUrls — array of 10times URLs (mutually exclusive with searchQuery + city)
• searchQuery — free-text keyword
• city — city slug (e.g. berlin, new-york-us, dubai-ae)
• country — ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (US, GB, DE, …) or WW for worldwide

• category — industry slug (technology, medical, food, …)
• startDate / endDate — YYYY-MM-DD
• onlineOnly — boolean
• maxItems — integer (default 50, max 10,000)
• includeDetails — boolean (fetch detail pages for organizer, description, estimates)
• proxyConfiguration — Apify proxy override (defaults to RESIDENTIAL)

How it works (technical notes)

• Discovery: listing pages (city, category, search) are parsed for outbound event-detail URLs. Two sources are merged: JSON-LD blocks (when present) and DOM anchor scraping with a strict pattern (https://10times.com/<slug> where slug is a single segment).
• Extraction: each detail page is scanned for application/ld+json blocks with @type: Event (or subtypes — BusinessEvent, ExhibitionEvent, Festival, etc.). 10times publishes Schema.org Event schema reliably; the JSON-LD is the primary structured surface for dates, venue, geo, organizer, offers.
• Enrichment: DOM fallback fills 10times-specific fields not in JSON-LD (visitor/exhibitor estimates, rating, followers, frequency, product tags).
• Anti-bot: 10times sits behind Cloudflare (server: cloudflare, cf-ray header confirmed). Residential proxies are mandatory and the default. Session pool with maxUsageCount: 25 plus Sec-Fetch-* headers, real User-Agent, and Accept-Language aligned to a real browser. 403/429/503 retire the session and retry.
• Pagination: listing pages use ?page=N query parameter. Crawler keeps requesting next page until maxItems is met or the listing is exhausted.
• Filters: eventType, category, startDate, endDate, and onlineOnly are applied client-side after detail enrichment to avoid relying on undocumented URL-parameter behavior.

FAQ

Q: Why do I sometimes see 0 events on a city page? A: Some 10times city slugs differ from the obvious spelling (e.g. new-york-us, not new-york). When in doubt, paste the URL directly into startUrls — your browser address bar is the source of truth.

Q: Does this work for past events? A: 10times lists historical events under the same URL pattern. Pass an older event slug in startUrls and you'll get the same structured record.

Q: How does this compare to other 10times scrapers on the Store? A: Two direct competitors exist — zen-studio/10times-events-scraper (129 users, $0.003–0.00349/event, 12-input UI, hard-coded city ID enum) and crawlerbros/tentimes-events-scraper (4 users, $0.002/result + $0.005 start, no MCP framing). This Actor: simpler 3-input model, MCP-ready flat output, premium-tier reliability target (>95% success rate), full Schema.org @type coverage including BusinessEvent / ExhibitionEvent / Festival.

Q: Why no ticketTiers array? A: 10times rarely publishes structured per-tier pricing. Most events show a single price summary or "Paid"/"Free" tag. We capture the summary in priceInfo and parsed currency in currency — that's the entire pricing signal available.

Q: Can I use this for organizer-only lookups? A: Not currently. Each run starts from event listings. If you need to enumerate all events organized by a specific company, build a list of event URLs from the organizer's 10times page and pass them as startUrls.

Q: Does it handle Cloudflare challenge pages? A: Yes — challenges are detected as 403/503 responses, the failing session is retired, and a fresh residential IP is selected. If all sessions in the pool fail consistently, the failure surfaces in the run summary as a blocked count rather than silently retrying forever.
