Overview

Resident Advisor (ra.co) is the world's leading electronic music platform — club nights, festivals, and DJ events worldwide. This actor queries RA's GraphQL API for event listings by area, returning structured data: who's playing, where, when, what it costs, and where to buy tickets.

Each output row is a single event with the full artist lineup, the venue (name, address, geo coordinates), the timing (start/end), cost, ticket status, and promoters.

Supported inputs

• Area names (resolved to IDs via GraphQL):
  • berlin
  • london
  • tokyo
• Area page URLs:
  • https://ra.co/events/berlin
  • https://ra.co/events/london
• Numeric area IDs:
  • 34 (Berlin)

How it works

1. You provide area names, area URLs, or direct event URLs.
2. The actor resolves area names to area IDs via RA's GraphQL areas query.
3. It paginates through the eventListings GraphQL query (50 events per page).
4. Each event becomes one clean row in the dataset — no HTML scraping needed.

FAQ

Do I need an RA account or API key? No. The scraper uses RA's public GraphQL endpoint, which requires no authentication.

How are area names resolved? The actor calls RA's areas(searchTerm:) GraphQL query to find the matching area ID. For example, "berlin" resolves to area ID 34.

How many events can I scrape? Berlin alone has ~1800 upcoming events. The actor paginates through all of them, capped by maxItems. Large multi-city runs can return tens of thousands of events.

Can I scrape multiple cities? Yes — pass multiple area names or URLs in startUrls.
