🎧 Resident Advisor Scraper

Extract events from Resident Advisor (ra.co) in any city, country or the whole world, upcoming or years back, or from any club, promoter or artist. Each event comes with local and UTC times, the full lineup with every artist's Instagram, SoundCloud, Facebook, X, Bandcamp and Discogs, venue with address, GPS, phone, website and capacity, every ticket tier with price and sale status, people attending, genres, flyers, promoters with their socials, and the description. Filter by genre, keyword, date, price, tickets on sale, attendance, festivals and RA Picks. Or switch the output to artists (with booking emails), venues or promoters.

🎯 Who uses it?

🎤 Booking agents, labels and managers

Find the artists playing your scene with their booking contact, bio, followers and socials, and see who books which clubs.

🍾 Promoters, clubs and festivals

Map every competing night in your city and dates, ticket prices and how fast they sell out, and who is headlining where.

🗓️ Event apps, newsletters and city guides

Fill "what's on this weekend" pages with fresh nights, flyers, lineups, prices and ticket links.

📊 Music industry analysts

Track genres, cities, ticket prices and attendance over time with years of archive.

✨ What it does

• Any place. A city ("Berlin"), "City, Country", a country ("Germany"), Worldwide, or "latitude, longitude". Several in one run.
• Your radius. Search 10 km or 200 km around a city or point instead of its Resident Advisor area.
• Any link. Clubs (ra.co/clubs/…), promoters, artists (ra.co/dj/…), city pages (ra.co/events/de/berlin) or single events. Turn on Past events for a club's, promoter's or artist's history.
• Past and future. Set a start date in the past to read the archive: every night in Amsterdam in June 2024, for example.
• Filters: 70 genres (Techno, House, Drum & Bass, Amapiano...), keywords over title, lineup, artists, venue and promoters, date range (exact or "+30 days"), free or paid, min and max price, tickets on sale now, min people attending, festivals only or no festivals, RA Picks only.
• Four outputs. Events, or one row per artist (booking email, booking details, bio, home city, followers, socials), venue (address, phone, website, capacity, events this year) or promoter (website and socials), each with the events found and their next one.

🏆 Why this scraper

• Fast. 1,000 events in about 12 seconds, 2,000 worldwide in about 20.
• Complete. Resident Advisor stops listing after 10,000 results per search; this Actor splits big searches into shorter date ranges, so a whole country or the whole world comes back in full, multi-day events once.
• Lead-ready. Artist booking emails, venue phones and websites, promoter and artist socials as clean links (broken links and tracking tails removed).
• Clean data. Times in local and UTC, ISO country codes, prices as numbers with currency, ticket tiers with sale status, HTML turned into plain text.
• No proxy needed. Nothing extra to set up or pay for.

⚙️ How the input is organised

Section	What it's for
Maximum results and Output	Always first: caps the whole run, and picks events, artists, venues or promoters. Empty maximum means no limit.
Where	Places, radius, Resident Advisor links, and past events of clubs, promoters and artists.
Filters	Genres, keywords, dates, price, tickets on sale, attendance, festivals, RA Picks.

Genre values are Resident Advisor's slugs: techno, house, deephouse, techhouse, drumandbass, amapiano, afrohouse, disco, electro, ambient, trance, hardcore and 58 more, all listed in the Genres picker.

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: a one-time $0.003 when the run starts, plus a price per result (event, artist, venue or promoter) saved to your dataset. The price depends on your Apify plan tier:

Your Apify plan	Price per result
Free	$0.013
Bronze	$0.012
Silver	$0.011
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.010

Approximate total cost:

Results collected	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold+
100	$1.30	$1.20	$1.10	$1.00
1,000	$13.00	$12.00	$11.00	$10.00
10,000	$130.00	$120.00	$110.00	$100.00

No proxy costs. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan a run saves up to 10 results.

Speed: 1,000 events in about 12 seconds. Artist, venue and promoter profiles add a few seconds per hundred.

🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Resident Advisor Scraper.
3. Type a place (or keep the prefilled one), or paste Resident Advisor links, add filters, then click Start.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python, and schedule it with Apify's built-in Scheduler to catch new events every day.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Resident Advisor events through the Model Context Protocol:

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/resident-advisor-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

🔧 Troubleshooting

A place was skipped. Add the country ("Valencia, Spain"), or type "latitude, longitude".

A city gives nearby towns too. Resident Advisor groups some cities into regions. Set a Radius to search a circle around the city instead.

Some events have no venue or address. The venue is secret or still to be announced (secretVenue is true). City and country are always there.

Some artists have no booking email. Only artists who publish booking details on Resident Advisor have one; you still get their socials and website.

A club, promoter or artist link was skipped. Check the link: the page may have been renamed or removed.

❓ FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Resident Advisor account?	No. Only public data is read.
Does it need a proxy?	No.
Can I get past events?	Yes. Set a start date in the past for any place, or turn on Past events for club, promoter and artist links.
Can I get artist emails?	Yes, when the artist publishes booking details: pick Artists output and read bookingEmail and emails.
Can I scrape a whole country or the world?	Yes. Type the country name or "Worldwide", and leave the maximum empty for every event.
Can I track new events and sell-outs?	Yes. Schedule the same input daily with Apify's Scheduler and compare tickets between runs.

🛡️ Limits & responsible use

This Actor reads only public data from Resident Advisor. It never signs in and never buys tickets. Artist and promoter contacts can be personal data: handle them in line with privacy law in your country (GDPR, CAN-SPAM...), and use the data in line with Resident Advisor's terms.
