The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object defining which listings to collect:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.vividseats.com/world-cup-soccer-tickets-metlife-stadium-6-13-2026--sports-soccer/production/5080443?quantity=2"
  ],

}

Parameter	Type	Description
urls	array	Event page URLs from Vivid Seats to scrape. Paste individual listing URLs where tickets are displayed.
max_items_per_url	integer	Maximum number of ticket listings to extract per URL (e.g., 200). Higher values collect more seat options; lower values speed up runs.
