Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 🎉 Eventective Scraper — Event Vendor & Venue Leads + Emails **Build event-industry lead lists in minutes. Pick a city and the categories you want — caterers, DJs, event planners, photographers, party rentals, **venues**, and more — and this actor pulls every Eventective listing with its public **phone, website, and social profiles**, then optionally finds an **email** off each vendor's own site. Run it on a schedule to catch **new** vendors and venues as they list. The cleanest event-vendor lead source on Apify.** No login, no anti-bot. Eventective is server-rendered and exposes real contacts — unlike The Knot / WeddingWire / GigSalad, which wall their data behind anti-bot and "request a quote" forms. --- ### Why this one Most event/wedding directory scrapers fight an anti-bot wall (The Knot, WeddingWire, GigSalad, Thumbtack) or return listings with **no usable contact**. Eventective is different: - ✅ **Phone is public** on every profile (validated: 6/6 in testing) - ✅ **Website is public** (6/6) — which we then mine for an **email** (≈ 50% of vendors) - ✅ **Socials** (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) when listed - ✅ **Venues *and* vendors** — the venue side isn't covered by other Apify actors - ✅ A **new-listing monitor** — no other event actor offers one --- ### What you get (per lead) `name` · `category` · **`phone`** · **`website`** · **`email`** (enriched) · all `emails` · `socials` · `city` · `state` · `description` · `eventective_id` · `profile_url` · `is_new` · `scraped_at` Export to CSV/JSON/Excel or pull via the Apify API into your CRM, Clay, n8n, or Make. --- ### How to use it 1. Click **Try for free**. 2. Enter a **city** (e.g. `Austin, TX`) and the **categories** you want. 3. Keep **Enrich with emails** on. 4. Click **Start**, then open the **Dataset** tab. 5. **For a live feed:** turn on **Monitor mode** + a **Schedule** to get alerted when new vendors/venues list. #### Quick start ```json { "searchArea": "Austin, TX", "categories": ["venues", "caterers", "djs"], "findEmails": true } ```` #### Daily new-listing monitor ```json { "searchArea": "Austin, TX", "categories": ["venues"], "monitorMode": true, "slackWebhookUrl": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/…" } ``` **Categories:** venues · wedding-venues · caterers · djs · planners · photographers · videographers · florists · bands · party-rentals · limousines · bakeries · entertainment · photo-booths · officiants (or any raw Eventective slug). *** ### Who it's for - 🎯 **Event vendors** prospecting complementary vendors & venues to partner with - 🏢 **Event-tech / SaaS** selling to caterers, planners, venues - 📣 **Agencies & lead-gen** in the wedding/events space - 🍽️ **Suppliers & rentals** targeting venues and caterers *** ### Pricing (pay-per-event) | Event | What it covers | Suggested price | |-------|----------------|-----------------| | `lot-scraped` | each vendor/venue lead returned | ~$3–4 / 1,000 | | `lot-detail-enriched` | each website crawled for an email | ~$3–4 / 1,000 | | `monitor-run-completed` | each scheduled watch run | ~$0.05 / run | | `new-lot-detected` | each newly-listed vendor/venue | ~$0.02 | | `alert-delivered` | each Slack/email/webhook alert | ~$0.005 | *** ### Notes - **Public directory data.** Names, phones, websites, and socials are public on Eventective; emails are scraped from each vendor's own website. **You are responsible** for compliant outreach — follow **CAN-SPAM / GDPR / CASL**. - **Email yield varies** by vendor (~50% in testing) — but **phone + website come back for nearly all**, so every lead is actionable. - **No double-counting** — monitor mode remembers what it's seen and emits each lead once. *** ### FAQ **Why not The Knot / WeddingWire / GigSalad?** They're anti-bot-walled and their contact is gated behind quote forms. Eventective is server-rendered with public phone + website, so runs are reliable and the leads are usable. **Does it find venues too?** Yes — use `venues` (or `wedding-venues`). The venue side isn't covered by other Apify actors. **How do I get emails?** Keep `findEmails` on — it crawls each vendor's own website (contact/about pages) and picks the best email. # Actor input Schema ## `searchArea` (type: `string`): The city + state to pull vendors/venues for. Accepts 'Austin, TX' or the Eventective slug 'austin-tx'. ## `categories` (type: `array`): What to scrape. Friendly names: venues, wedding-venues, caterers, djs, planners, photographers, videographers, florists, bands, party-rentals, limousines, bakeries, entertainment, photo-booths, officiants. (Or any raw Eventective category slug.) ## `maxPagesPerCategory` (type: `integer`): How many listing pages (~45 leads each) to walk per category. Raise for bigger pulls. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Cap on total leads per run. Raise for bigger pulls (email enrichment is the slow part — give the run more time/timeout for large caps). ## `findEmails` (type: `boolean`): Crawl each vendor's own website to find an email (Eventective exposes phone + website, not email). ## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`): Pages of each vendor website to crawl for an email. ## `requireContact` (type: `boolean`): Output only leads that have a phone, website, or email. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): How many profiles to scrape/enrich in parallel. ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Recurring watcher: diff against the prior run (per area+category scope) and output/alert ONLY new listings. Pair with an Apify Schedule. ## `alertOnNewLead` (type: `boolean`): In monitor mode, send an alert for each new vendor/venue. ## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`): POST endpoint for new-lead alerts. ## `slackWebhookUrl` (type: `string`): Slack incoming-webhook URL. ## `emailRecipients` (type: `array`): Emails for the new-lead digest (via apify/send-mail). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Datacenter rotation is plenty (Eventective is server-rendered, no anti-bot). ## `diagnose` (type: `boolean`): Dev only. Logs the first parsed profile (with email), then exits. ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchArea": "Austin, TX", "categories": [ "venues", "caterers" ], "maxPagesPerCategory": 2, "maxResults": 50, "findEmails": true, "maxPagesPerSite": 3, "requireContact": false, "concurrency": 8, "monitorMode": false, "alertOnNewLead": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }, "diagnose": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `leads` (type: `string`): The dataset of event vendors & venues (one item per lead). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
