## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## StubHub Events Scraper

Enumerates upcoming events from any StubHub category URL. Each event becomes a row in the actor's default dataset, exportable as JSON, CSV, Excel, etc.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `categoryUrl` | string | Diamondbacks page | Any `https://www.stubhub.com/.../category/<id>` URL |
| `maxPages` | integer | 50 | Hard cap. Actor also stops when StubHub returns `remaining=0`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy, **DATACENTER, US** | Required for non-US traffic. Switch to RESIDENTIAL if datacenter IPs get blocked. |
| `cookieHeader` | string | `""` | Optional. Paste the raw browser `cookie:` header if proxy alone isn't enough. |
| `minDelaySeconds` | number | 0.8 | Polite delay between page calls. |

### Output

One item per event in the **default dataset**:

```json
{
  "id": 159262859,
  "name": "Arizona Diamondbacks at Seattle Mariners",
  "date": "May 31",
  "day": "Sun",
  "time": "1:10 PM",
  "venue": "T-Mobile Park",
  "city": "Seattle",
  "state": "WA",
  "country": "USA",
  "home_team_id": 5658,
  "away_team_id": 6167,
  "has_active_listings": true,
  "on_sale_date": "Aug 26",
  "countdown": "Next weekend",
  "url": "https://www.stubhub.com/seattle-mariners-seattle-tickets-5-31-2026/event/159262859/"
}
````

Plus two small artifacts in the key-value store:

- `LAST_PAGE` — written incrementally as pagination progresses
- `SUMMARY` — final tally

# Actor input Schema

## `categoryUrl` (type: `string`):

Any StubHub category page URL, e.g. a team page. The scraper paginates GetFilteredEvents from there.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Cap on how many pages to walk. The scraper also stops automatically when StubHub reports remaining=0.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy, RESIDENTIAL group, US-routed by default. Residential IPs are indistinguishable from real consumer traffic — best chance of getting past datadome. Costs more per GB than datacenter, but for category-only scraping the traffic is small.

## `cookieHeader` (type: `string`):

Paste the raw cookie header from a real browser session if the datacenter proxy alone isn't enough. Format: name1=value1; name2=value2; ...

## `minDelaySeconds` (type: `number`):

Polite delay between paginated GetFilteredEvents calls.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "categoryUrl": "https://www.stubhub.com/arizona-diamondbacks-tickets/category/138313864",
  "maxPages": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  },
  "cookieHeader": "",
  "minDelaySeconds": 0.8
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "categoryUrl": "https://www.stubhub.com/arizona-diamondbacks-tickets/category/138313864",
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ],
        "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/stubhub-events-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
