2. Configure options (optional) — set the maximum number of events
3. Run the scraper — Click "Start" and monitor progress in real-time

• City + category page: https://www.sympla.com.br/eventos/sao-paulo-sp/teatro-espetaculo
• Free, online and other collection pages: https://www.sympla.com.br/eventos/gratis, https://www.sympla.com.br/eventos/online
• Keyword search: https://www.sympla.com.br/eventos?s=yoga
• Single event: https://www.sympla.com.br/evento/<name>/<id>, https://www.sympla.com.br/evento-online/<name>/<id>, https://www.sympla.com.br/play/<name>/<id>
• Single Bileto event: https://bileto.sympla.com.br/event/<id> (with or without the /d/.../s/... suffix)

Important: Only URLs matching these patterns will work.

How much does it cost to scrape Sympla?

Sympla Brazil Event Scraper uses pay-per-event (PPE) pricing — you only pay for the events below, each triggered by real, successfully extracted data.

Is scraping Sympla free?

The scraper charges one event:

• result-event-data: one charge per scraped event, including all of its sessions and ticket types

Runs that find nothing are not charged. Pricing is optimized for efficiency, using minimal compute units while maintaining high success rates. Contact support for volume discounts on large-scale projects.

Input configuration

The scraper accepts the following inputs:

Start URLs

Sympla URLs copied from your browser: city pages, category pages, collection pages such as free or online events, keyword searches (/eventos?s=...) and single event links from www.sympla.com.br or bileto.sympla.com.br. Listing pages are followed through every result page. For keyword searches only the keyword is applied; other filters in the URL are ignored. Add at least one URL, one per row; links from other sites are rejected before the run starts. Each row can set its own Max events; a single event link always returns one event.

Events per URL

Maximum events scraped from each start URL that leaves its own "Max events" empty. Each event is one charged result. Defaults to 10; set a larger number to scrape whole listings.

FAQ and Support

Do I need to configure a proxy?

No. The Actor includes proxies automatically at no additional cost. There's nothing to configure.

Are ticket prices with or without the service fee?

price, min_price and max_price are the ticket's face value before Sympla's service fee. Each ticket lists its fee separately, so the amount a buyer pays is price + fee. This is the same for classic Sympla events and Bileto events.

Why do some events have one session and others many?

Classic Sympla events have a single session covering the event's date range. Bileto events have one session per performance date; for exhibitions and museums sold by day, each session is a day and its time slots appear as the ticket's sector. Bileto sales_start_at/sales_end_at times are in UTC; classic ticket sale windows use the event's local offset.

Why do some courses start in 2050?

On-demand courses (/play/ links) have no real date; Sympla itself stores a placeholder date in 2050 for them, and the scraper reports it as-is.

How often is the data updated?

Sympla updates events and ticket availability in real-time. For fresh data, schedule regular scraper runs or use our API for on-demand extraction.

What if some URLs don't work?

The scraper only supports specific URL patterns from Sympla. Ensure your URLs match the compatible formats listed above. Links from other sites are rejected before the run starts; Sympla pages outside these patterns are skipped, and the run status says so.

Do you offer custom solutions?

Absolutely! We can customize the scraper for specific requirements, additional data points, or integration with your existing systems. Contact us through the Issues tab for enterprise solutions.
