## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Posh VIP Market Events

Discover **public nightlife and social events** from [Posh.vip](https://posh.vip) Explore. Scrapes city discovery pages, opens each event for details, and returns normalized JSON for calendars, newsletters, and automation pipelines.

### How it works

1. Resolves your city to metro center coordinates.
2. Calls the Posh BFF explore API (`/api/bff/v1/explore/events`) with `lat`/`lng` — this returns city-scoped listings (unlike the HTML explore page, which embeds a national trending feed).
3. Optionally opens each event page for full description, address, coordinates, and organizer URL.
4. Filters to your date window and writes records to the dataset.

### Input

| Field | Required | Description |
|-------|----------|-------------|
| `city` | Yes | Metro name, e.g. `Phoenix`, `Miami`, `Denver` |
| `when` | No | `Today`, `This Week`, `This Month`, or `Right Now` (default: `This Week`) |
| `sort` | No | `Trending`, `Newest`, or `Largest` (default: `Trending`) |
| `enrichEventDetails` | No | Fetch full event pages for address/coords (default: true) |
| `startDate` / `endDate` | No | `YYYY-MM-DD` filter (default: today → +30 days UTC) |
| `maxItems` | No | Stop after N events |
| `proxyConfiguration` | No | **Residential proxy recommended** |

### Output

Each dataset item includes event name, Posh URL, start/end UTC timestamps, timezone, venue, address, coordinates, cover image, organizer name/URL, and guest count when available.

### Notes

- Posh.vip is Cloudflare-protected — residential Apify Proxy is the default.
- Coverage is US-focused; international metros may return no listings.
- Only **public** Explore listings are returned.

# Actor input Schema

## `city` (type: `string`):

Metro name (e.g. Miami, Milwaukee, Toronto, London). Aliases like NYC, LA, Twin Cities also work. Or pass lat/lng instead.

## `lat` (type: `number`):

Optional override. When set with lng, skips the built-in city map.

## `lng` (type: `number`):

Optional override. When set with lat, skips the built-in city map.

## `when` (type: `string`):

Posh Explore date window. Prefer This Month for smaller metros (e.g. Milwaukee often has no This Week listings).

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Posh Explore sort order.

## `enrichEventDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open each event page for full description, address, coordinates, and organizer URL. Disable for faster API-only runs.

## `startDate` (type: `string`):

Include events starting on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today (UTC).

## `endDate` (type: `string`):

Include events starting on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to +30 days (UTC).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many unique events.

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

Residential proxies are strongly recommended — Posh.vip is Cloudflare-protected.

# 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 = {
    "city": "Miami",
    "when": "This Month",
    "sort": "Trending",
    "maxItems": 20
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrape_scaler/posh-vip-market-events").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "city": "Miami",
    "when": "This Month",
    "sort": "Trending",
    "maxItems": 20,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrape_scaler/posh-vip-market-events").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "city": "Miami",
  "when": "This Month",
  "sort": "Trending",
  "maxItems": 20
}' |
apify call scrape_scaler/posh-vip-market-events --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrape_scaler/posh-vip-market-events"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
