Resident Advisor Clubs Scraper

Resident Advisor Clubs Scraper

Scrape Resident Advisor clubs by city, country, or area, up to a million per run. Every club comes with its name, location, and profile details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Resident Advisor's official API needs an app registration, OAuth, and rate-limits you. This reads the public club directory directly, filtered by area slug or country, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your area slug is correct and matches the format used by Resident Advisor, like uk/london. Also ensure the country filter, if set, is not excluding all clubs.

The Actor returns fewer clubs than expected.

Resident Advisor may paginate results, and the Actor respects the maxItems limit. Increase maxItems if you need more, or verify the area slug covers the intended region.

I get an error about invalid area slug.

Visit Resident Advisor in a browser, navigate to the clubs page for your target city, and copy the slug from the URL. It should look like uk/london or de/berlin.

The run takes too long.

Lower the maxItems value to reduce the number of clubs scraped. You can also narrow the area or add a country filter to limit results.
