How to Use

1. Build a search URL — Visit Ticketmaster.com/search and refine by date, keyword, or category. Copy the full URL from the address bar.

2. Prepare the input — Paste your Ticketmaster search URL(s) into the urls array. Set max_items_per_url to control output volume (recommended: 50–200 for balanced speed/completeness).

3. Configure error handling — Set ignore_url_failures: true if running multiple URLs to prevent one failed request from stopping the entire run.

4. Run the scraper — Start the actor and monitor execution. Large max_items_per_url values may take longer due to pagination.

5. Download results — Export data as JSON, CSV, or Excel for further analysis or integration.

Best practices:

• Use date range filters to narrow results (reduces scrape time significantly)
• Set a reasonable max_items_per_url to avoid unnecessary overhead
• Test with a single URL before running bulk operations
• Monitor the Sold Out and Limited Availability flags for real-time ticket dynamics
