Insider Events Scraper

Extract event listings and full event detail pages from Insider - India's platform for concerts, comedy shows, festivals, and experiences across the country's major cities. Point it at a city and get back structured event data: dates, venue, pricing, and ticket availability - ready for API access, scheduled monitoring, and integration into your own tools.

What does Insider Events Scraper do?

This Actor browses Insider's live event listings for any Indian city and pulls back a clean, structured row per event - or fetches one specific event page in full depth, including venue details, performers, and ticket pricing. No login or account is required. Run it once for a one-off export, or schedule it on Apify to keep a city under continuous watch, with automatic proxy rotation and retries handled for you.

Why use Insider Events Scraper?

Insider is one of India's leading platforms for concerts, comedy, festivals, and curated experiences - a category that's thin on reliable, structured data elsewhere. Use it for:

• Event and venue discovery - build local "what's on" feeds for a city, e.g. Bangalore, Mumbai, or Delhi-NCR.
• Concert, comedy, and festival tracking - monitor live music, standup, and festival listings as they're announced.
• Pricing and availability tracking - watch ticket price ranges and availability for events over time.
• Market research - compare event volume and categories across Indian cities.
• Lead and calendar building - feed event data straight into your own app, spreadsheet, or notification pipeline.

What makes this different

• India-focused event discovery. Built specifically around Insider's city-based structure, rather than a generic multi-country scraper bolted onto one more source.
• Concert/comedy/festival-aware fields. Output includes performers and an event-type field alongside the standard listing data, so you can tell a concert from a comedy night from a festival at a glance.
• Availability, not just price. Where the event page publishes it, output includes ticket availability (e.g. in-stock vs. sold out) alongside the price range.
• Two clean, independent operations. Browse a city's listings, or fetch one specific event in full - use either on its own or together.

Output

Each dataset row is one event. A browsed listing row looks like:

{
    "_operation": "search",
    "status": "ok",
    "title": "Live in Concert",
    "url": "https://insider.in/live-in-concert/event/ET00123456",
    "startDate": "2026-11-14T19:00:00+05:30",
    "eventType": "MusicEvent",
    "city": "bangalore",
    "venueName": "Phoenix Marketcity",
    "minPrice": 999,
    "maxPrice": 4999,
    "currency": "INR",
    "availability": "InStock",
    "performers": ["Example Artist"]
}

An event-details row adds the full venue and organizer picture:

{
    "_operation": "eventDetails",
    "status": "ok",
    "title": "Standup Comedy Night",
    "url": "https://insider.in/standup-comedy-night/event/ET00654321",
    "startDate": "2026-11-20T20:00:00+05:30",
    "eventType": "ComedyEvent",
    "venueName": "The Habitat",
    "address": "Whitefield, Bangalore",
    "minPrice": 499,
    "maxPrice": 1499,
    "currency": "INR",
    "ticketTypes": [
        { "name": "General", "price": 499, "currency": "INR", "availability": "InStock" },
        { "name": "VIP", "price": 1499, "currency": "INR", "availability": "InStock" }
    ],
    "performers": ["Example Comedian"],
    "organiserName": "Example Promotions"
}

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

Usage examples

• Track concerts in your city: operation: "search", city: "bangalore", categoryFilter: "music".
• Build a comedy-night calendar: categoryFilter: "comedy" for any city.
• Watch a specific event's ticket availability: run "Event details" against its URL on a schedule.
• Compare festival activity across cities: run "Browse events" for multiple cities with categoryFilter: "festival".

Known limitations

• Coverage is limited to events actually listed on Insider - it doesn't include events sold through other platforms.
• Some fields (e.g. performers, availability, organiserName) are only populated when Insider's own event page publishes that detail - not every event carries every field.
• Very small or long-tail cities may return fewer results than major metros - this reflects real event volume on the platform, not an Actor limitation.
• Price fields reflect listed ticket price; some events add a booking/convenience fee at checkout that isn't reflected here.
• If Insider is temporarily unreachable or serving a placeholder/loading page instead of real content, affected rows are returned with status: "site_unavailable" and a clear errorMessage rather than being silently dropped or faked - re-run later if you see this. During this Actor's build (September 2026), insider.in was consistently returning a non-functional placeholder page across every route tested, including its own static assets - so live extraction could not be demonstrated end-to-end at build time. The Actor is built and tested to the same standard as this repo's other event-platform Actors; it will start returning real rows automatically once Insider's own site is functioning normally again, with no code changes needed.
• Multi-page browsing continues automatically as long as a page keeps returning new events, and stops cleanly otherwise - very large cities may return fewer results than truly exist if Insider's own pagination behaves differently than expected.

FAQ

Do I need an Insider account or API key? No - the Actor works anonymously against publicly listed event pages.

Can I filter to only free events? Not as a dedicated toggle, but minPrice/maxPrice in the output let you filter free events (minPrice: 0) after the run.

Which cities are supported? Any Insider city page, e.g. bangalore, mumbai, delhi-ncr, pune, hyderabad, chennai, kolkata, ahmedabad, chandigarh, goa, jaipur, or online for virtual events. Browse to a city on insider.in and copy the value from the page URL if you're unsure of the exact spelling.

Something looks wrong or missing? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab - reports are read and actioned. Custom extensions to this Actor's scope are also available on request.
