🚀 What this actor does

The Resident Advisor scraper turns any RA.co city listing into clean, structured electronic music events data. Pick the cities (by name or RA area ID) and a date range, hit run, and get one tidy row per event — ready for your calendar app, gig-discovery product, promoter CRM, data analysis or research.

It talks to Resident Advisor's own public events API the same way the ra.co website does, so you get fast, reliable, browser-free results — no Selenium, no login, no API key, no flaky DOM scraping.

✅ Scrape ra.co by city — London, Berlin, Amsterdam, New York, Tokyo & 100+ more	✅ Filter by date range — tonight, this weekend, next 90 days, any window
✅ Full DJ line-ups — every artist on the bill	✅ Promoter lead-gen — who's putting on the party

❓ FAQ

Is this a Resident Advisor / ra.co API alternative?

Yes. Resident Advisor offers no public API key for events, so this actor reads RA's public listings the same way the ra.co site does — a practical ra.co API alternative with no login and no key required.

How do I export Resident Advisor events to CSV or JSON?

Run the actor for your cities and date range, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML — or pull it via the Apify API. It's a straightforward Resident Advisor data export for spreadsheets and pipelines.

Can I scrape ra.co without login to get DJ line-ups?

Yes. This DJ lineup scraper pulls full artist line-ups, venues and promoters from ra.co without any login or API key. Residential proxy is recommended for scale.
