Cheapest Stubhub Scraper

Scrape StubHub — one of the world's biggest secondary ticket marketplaces — at the lowest price per result on the Apify Store. Find events by keyword or location, list every event for a performer or team, and pull an event's full live ticket listings: real prices, section/row/seat, ticket type, face value and StubHub's own deal & seat-quality scores.

Pay per result, no start fee, no subscription.

⚠️ Residential proxy required for event mode (live prices). Pulling live per-seat prices needs a residential proxy. The discovery modes (search / explore / performer) run fine on the default proxy. See Proxy below.

We're the cheapest that returns real live per-seat prices (just under easyapi), the only one with a whole-venue priced seat map + histogram, and the cheapest discovery on the Store — with a $0 start fee (several rivals charge $0.0005–$0.05 just to launch). The cheaper $0.0015–$0.008 actors are discovery/from-price only: they can't return per-seat prices.

• Live ticket prices + seat locations. The event mode returns the actual listing grid — every ticket on sale with its price, section, row, ticket type and deal score. Most StubHub actors stop at event discovery; this one reads the money data.
• Cheap where it can be. Discovery (search / explore / performer) runs on the default proxy, so those results are priced to be the cheapest on the Store. Live prices are pulled only when you actually need them.
• Graceful on blocks. The actor retries event fetches until one succeeds, and never charges for a blocked/empty result.
• Self-monitored. Every run reports upstream health, so changes on StubHub's side are caught early.

Modes

Set mode in the input:

search — events by keyword

{ "mode": "search", "term": "taylor swift" } Returns matching events (id, name, date, venue, location) plus performers/venues that match.

event — live prices + seats (headline)

{ "mode": "event", "eventUrls": ["https://www.stubhub.com/.../event/160262128/"] } Returns event meta (venue, date, true venue-wide min/max/average price, live view count) plus:

• the listing grid — each ticket's price, section, row, seat, ticket type, face value, deal score, seat-quality score, StubHub quality tags and "view from seat" photo;
• a whole-venue priced seat map (seatMap.sections) — for every one of the venue's sections: its cheapest price, ticket count, deal & seat-quality score and category (cheapest / best-value / etc). This covers the entire venue in one shot, not just the listings page. Set includeSeatMapRows for the per-row breakdown;
• a price-distribution histogram mapping price bands to sections.

Requires a residential proxy and retries until it succeeds.

explore — events near a location

{ "mode": "explore", "latitude": "40.7127753", "longitude": "-74.0059728", "tlcId": 3 } Browse upcoming events near a point. Optional tlcId (1 Sports · 3 Concerts · 1023 Festivals) and catId filters.

performer — all events for a performer/team

{ "mode": "performer", "performerUrls": ["https://www.stubhub.com/bts-tickets/performer/1503185"] }

selftest — free health check

Probes each upstream and reports which are healthy. No charge.

Output

Discovery rows are flat event cards. An event row carries the full listings[] array. See the dataset "Overview" view for the key columns, or export everything as JSON/CSV/Excel.

Proxy

• Discovery (search / explore / performer) works on the default Apify proxy — no residential needed.
• event mode requires a RESIDENTIAL proxy. The actor retries until it succeeds and never charges for a blocked result.
• Currency follows the proxy country. StubHub localizes prices to the exit IP's country, so the actor pins the proxy to countryCode (default US → USD). Set countryCode to price in another market's currency.
• Provide your own proxyConfiguration to override the defaults.

Pricing

Pay-per-event, platform usage absorbed, $0 start fee. See ./PRICING.md.
