Tech Events Calendar API | Conferences + CFP

Developer Relations and engineering-community teams submit topics, regions, and date filters. The actor collects public conference, meetup, and call-for-papers details and deduplicates overlapping listings. Each run returns a structured event calendar with dates, locations, topic tags, source URLs, and public submission deadlines.

Run the next report

• Track GitHub releases and changelog drift.
• Monitor product documentation and migration-guide changes.
• Audit npm package metadata and dependency signals.

Store Quickstart

• Start with store-input.example.json for a cheap single-topic first run.
• If that matches your workflow, switch to store-input.templates.json and pick one of:
• Quickstart (Dataset) for one-topic discovery
• Multi-topic Scan for a broader calendar build
• Webhook Alert for downstream event routing

Key Features

• 📅 Multi-topic search — Search across JavaScript, Python, AI, DevOps, and 20+ topics
• 🔄 Automatic deduplication — Events appearing in multiple topics are merged
• 🌍 Global coverage — Conferences from all countries, including online events
• 📝 CFP tracking — Call-for-papers URLs and deadlines included
• 📊 Sorted by date — Clean chronological listing
• 🏷️ Topic tagging — Each event tagged with all relevant topics

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
topics	array	prefilled	Topics to search for (e.g. ['javascript','ai','devops']).
year	integer	2026	Year to search for events.
delivery	string	"dataset"	How to deliver results. 'dataset' saves to Apify Dataset (recommended), 'webhook' sends to a URL.
webhookUrl	string	—	Webhook URL to send results to (only used when delivery is 'webhook'). Works with Slack, Discord, or any HTTP endpoint.
dryRun	boolean	false	If true, runs without saving results or sending webhooks. Useful for testing.

API Usage

Run this actor programmatically using the Apify API. Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with your token from Apify Console → Settings → Integrations.

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/taroyamada~tech-events-intelligence/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "topics": ["javascript", "python", "ai"], "year": 2026 }'

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("taroyamada/tech-events-intelligence").call(run_input={
  "topics": ["javascript", "python", "ai"],
  "year": 2026
})

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('taroyamada/tech-events-intelligence').call({
  "topics": ["javascript", "python", "ai"],
  "year": 2026
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Tips & Limitations

• Run nightly as part of your supply-chain monitoring to catch new vulnerabilities early.
• Pair with oss-vulnerability-monitor for CVE coverage layered on top of version tracking.
• For monorepos, run per-package rather than recursing — easier to triage alerts by team owner.
• Use snapshotKey to persist between runs and only alert on diffs.
• Webhook delivery supports JSON payloads — pipe into your existing on-call routing.

FAQ

Is my build slowed down?

This actor runs on Apify infrastructure, not your CI runners. No impact on build times.

What's the freshness of data?

Depends on the source registry — typically 5–60 minutes behind upstream.

Can I filter by package ecosystem?

Yes — most DevOps actors accept an ecosystem or package-manager filter in their input schema.

Does this work with private registries?

No — this actor targets public registries (npm, PyPI, crates.io, etc.). Private registries require credential handling that's out of scope.

Can I integrate with GitHub Actions?

Yes — call this actor via Apify API inside a workflow job, parse the JSON output, and fail the build on threshold violations.

Cost

Pay Per Event:

• actor-start: $0.01 (flat fee per run)
• dataset-item: $0.003 per output item

Example: 1,000 items = $0.01 + (1,000 × $0.003) = $3.01

No subscription required — you only pay for what you use.
