The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ### Etix.com Ticket Availability Scraper Scrapes available seats from Etix.com event pages — no account or cookies required — and returns structured JSON with section, row, seat label, and availability status for every open seat. --- - No Etix account or login required - Extracts all available seats by section and row in a single run - Supports multiple event URLs per run — batch-check many events at once - Uses Etix's internal seating chart API for accurate, real-time data - AWS WAF CAPTCHA bypass via [Capsolver](https://capsolver.com) (capsolverApiKey input required) - Built-in Apify residential proxy support for reliable scraping - Optional SMTP email summary delivered after each run - Outputs clean JSON ready to export as CSV or Excel --- #### What data does it extract? Each result in the dataset represents one available seat: **Seat info:** seatLabel, seatId, status (`Available`) **Location:** section, row **Event:** eventUrl, eventId **Meta:** scrapedAt (ISO 8601 timestamp) Output format: JSON (exportable to CSV, Excel, XML via Apify dataset tools) --- #### Use cases - **Ticket arbitrage:** Monitor Etix events for newly released or returned seats and act fast - **Event research:** Check seat availability across multiple events before purchasing - **Venue analytics:** Analyze seating availability patterns by section and row - **Alert automation:** Combine with Apify webhooks or email notification to get notified when seats open up - **Market intelligence:** Track sell-out velocity for concerts and sporting events on Etix --- #### How to use 1. Click **Try for free** above 2. In the **Input** tab, paste one or more Etix event page URLs (e.g. `https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/42269098/event-name`) 3. Leave **Proxy Configuration** as default (Apify residential proxy recommended) 4. Optionally configure **Email Notification** with your SMTP credentials to receive a results summary 5. Click **Start** and wait for the run to complete (typically under 2 minutes per event) 6. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the **Output** tab --- #### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `eventUrls` | Array of strings | **Yes** | One or more Etix event page URLs. Example: `https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/42269098/event-name` | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify automatic residential proxy. Recommended to leave as default. | | `capsolverApiKey` | String | No | **Required to run on Apify cloud.** Capsolver.com API key used to bypass AWS WAF CAPTCHA automatically. Get one free at [capsolver.com](https://capsolver.com). | | `maxRetries` | Integer | No | Max retry attempts per URL if a request fails. Default: `3`. Range: 1–10. | | `emailEnabled` | Boolean | No | Set to `true` to receive an email summary after the run. Default: `false`. | | `smtpHost` | String | No | SMTP server hostname. Example: `smtp.gmail.com` | | `smtpPort` | Integer | No | SMTP port. Use `587` for TLS or `465` for SSL. Default: `587`. | | `smtpUser` | String | No | Your email address for SMTP authentication. | | `smtpPass` | String | No | SMTP password or app-specific password (Gmail: generate at myaccount.google.com/apppasswords). | | `recipientEmail` | String | No | Email address to send the availability summary to. | --- #### Output example ```json { "eventUrl": "https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/42269098/aew-presents-collision-philadelphia-2300-arena", "eventId": "42269098", "section": "FC LFT CTR", "row": "A", "seatLabel": "A101", "seatId": "7821345", "status": "Available", "scrapedAt": "2025-06-01T14:32:00.000Z" } ```` *** #### Pricing This Actor is **free to use** — you only pay for Apify platform compute time and proxy usage. A typical run scraping 1 event (a few hundred available seats) costs approximately **$0.03–$0.08** in Apify platform credits. New Apify accounts receive **$5 in free credits** — enough for dozens of scrape runs. *** #### Technical notes - **No account needed:** This Actor does not require an Etix login or cookies to operate - **AWS WAF bypass:** Etix.com uses AWS WAF CAPTCHA. A [Capsolver](https://capsolver.com) API key (`capsolverApiKey` input) is required to run on Apify cloud — the Actor calls Capsolver's `AwsWafTaskProxyless` to solve the CAPTCHA automatically - **Residential proxies:** Apify residential proxies are strongly recommended and set as default — datacenter IPs may trigger additional bot checks - **Seat statuses:** Only seats with status `Available` are included in the output. Seats in someone's cart (`Temporary`) and sold seats (`Sold`) are excluded - **Data freshness:** All data is scraped live on each run — there is no caching - **Invalid URLs:** If a URL does not match the Etix event URL format (`/ticket/p/{eventId}/`), it will be skipped with an error log - **Large events:** For events with 5,000+ seats, increase Actor memory to 1–2 GB for reliable performance *** #### Support Have questions or found a bug? Reach out: - **Email:** ScrapySpider@protonmail.com - **Website:** [ScrapySpider.com](https://ScrapySpider.com) - **Apify:** Open a support issue on this Actor page - **Response time:** Within 24–48 hours on weekdays # Actor input Schema ## `eventUrls` (type: `array`): One or more Etix.com event page URLs to scrape.
