All Events Scraper (AllEvents.in) — Extract City Event Listings, Venues, Dates & Interest Counts

Extracts structured event data from allevents.in city listing pages — event title, human-readable date/time, venue and city, interest count, and canonical event URL. Strong coverage of India, Southeast Asia and other regions where Eventbrite inventory is thin. Results save to an Apify dataset and can be delivered straight into Notion, Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable, or any MCP-compatible AI agent pipeline.

Manual browsing / DIY script vs. All Events Scraper Actor

AllEvents.in city pages are infinite-scroll, JavaScript-hydrated, and served differently depending on the requesting IP — which is exactly what makes a hand-rolled script fragile:

Feature / Capability	Manual browsing or a DIY scraper	All Events Scraper Actor (Apify)
Infinite-scroll pagination	❌ Manual scrolling / custom scroll-and-wait loop to maintain	✅ Handled — scrolls until the target count or the end of the listing
JS hydration	❌ Plain requests/curl returns an empty shell	✅ Headless Chromium with a hydration wait
Geo/datacenter blocking	⚠️ Datacenter IPs are frequently served an empty page	✅ Apify Proxy wiring built in (residential + country targeting)
Structured output	❌ Ad-hoc CSV you maintain yourself	✅ Typed dataset with a declared schema, exportable as JSON/CSV/Excel/XML
AI agent / MCP native	❌ Requires a custom tool wrapper	✅ Callable as an MCP tool and able to push results into your own MCP connectors
Cost model	Your dev time + infra	Pay-per-event ($0.001 per event / $1.00 per 1,000 results)

ℹ️ AllEvents.in does not publish a self-serve public event-search API for third parties at the time of writing — verify this before publishing the listing if you want to state it as a comparison row.

What this Actor does

💡 Need filters or several platforms at once? This Actor covers a single allevents.in city page with no category or date filtering. For multi-platform aggregation (AllEvents, Eventbrite, Meetup, EventsEye, District, ConferenceAlerts) with advanced filters, use Smart Event Scraper instead.

• Loads the public allevents.in listing page for one city in a headless browser and waits for the JavaScript-rendered event cards.
• Scrolls the infinite listing until your requested limit is reached or the page stops growing.
• Returns one structured record per event: title, date/time string, venue/location, interest count, and the canonical event URL.
• Deduplicates within the run by event URL, and skips empty ad/placeholder cards.
• Routes traffic through Apify Proxy (residential + country targeting recommended) because datacenter IPs are frequently served an empty page.
• Optionally pushes results to an authorized MCP connector (Notion, Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable, or any MCP-compatible connector) in four delivery modes. The dataset is always saved regardless of delivery settings.
• Blocks images, fonts, and media after page load to keep runs fast and cheap, with a hard internal 180-second scrape ceiling so a stalled browser can never burn platform time.

When to use it — and when not to

Scenario	Fit
Build a city event feed for an app, newsletter, or directory	✅ Strong
Cover India / Southeast Asia local events where Eventbrite is thin	✅ Strong
Track which events are getting traction (interest counts)	✅ Strong — read Interested
Push a recurring city event digest into Slack or Notion	✅ Strong (native MCP delivery)
Seed a venue list for enrichment (Google Maps, CRM)	✅ Strong — read Location
Filter by category, date range, or free/paid	❌ Not supported — use Smart Event Scraper
More than 100 events in one execution	⚠️ Hard cap of 100 — schedule repeat runs and dedupe on URL
Several cities at once	⚠️ One run per city — loop in your orchestration layer
Machine-parseable ISO timestamps	⚠️ DateTime is the site's display string — parse downstream
Non-AllEvents sources	Use Smart Event Scraper or a platform-specific Actor
Buying/reserving tickets	❌ Not supported — read-only Actor
Attendee or organizer contact data	❌ Not supported — public listing cards only

⚡ Execution Rules (Avoid Common Agent Failures)

1. location is a single city slug, not "City, Country". Pass ahmedabad, mumbai, new-york — never Ahmedabad, India or united-states--new-york. The value is trimmed and lowercased for you, but spaces and commas will produce a dead URL and an empty result. The slug mirrors the allevents.in path: open allevents.in/<slug>/all to confirm.
2. location is the only required field, and it has a default (Ahmedabad). Omitting it in an API/MCP call silently scrapes Ahmedabad rather than raising a validation error. Always pass it explicitly.
3. The result field is limit, not maxEvents. Default 50, hard maximum 100. Values above 100 are clamped, not rejected.
4. Output keys are PascalCase: Title, URL, DateTime, Location, Interested. Lowercase key lookups (item["title"]) will fail.
5. DateTime and Interested are display strings, not typed values. Expect "Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 - 08:30 PM" and "1511+ Interested". Parse or strip downstream; never assume ISO-8601 or an integer.
6. There is no category, date, or price filter. Filter downstream on Title/DateTime, or route the request to Smart Event Scraper.
7. Proxy matters. The schema defaults to RESIDENTIAL + country IN. Residential proxy groups require a paid Apify plan — on a free account the run falls back to whatever is available and may load an empty page. If results are 0, the proxy is the first thing to check.
8. deliveryMode defaults to summary, not none. For dataset-only runs, either leave mcpConnector empty or set deliveryMode: "none" explicitly.
9. Free Apify plans are capped at 5 results per run with an upgrade notice in the log. This is a successful run, not a failure.

    on_violation: "local runs log 'APIFY_MCP_PROXY_URL is not set' and skip delivery; the dataset is unaffected"
  - rule: "perEvent mode issues one connector call per event"

📥 Input Contract

.actor/input_schema.json is authoritative — if any table on this page disagrees with the schema files, the schema files win. API and MCP clients should explicitly pass location.

Scraping Parameters

Field	Type	Required	Default	Allowed Values / Format	Example
location	string	✅ Yes	Ahmedabad	City slug (^[a-z0-9-]+$ after lowercasing)	mumbai
limit	integer	⬜ No	50	1 to 100 (clamped at 100)	100
proxyConfiguration	object	⬜ No	{ useApifyProxy: true, apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"], apifyProxyCountry: "IN" }	Apify proxy editor object	see below

{
  "location": "mumbai",
  "limit": 100,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IN"
  },
  "deliveryMode": "none"
}

Location reference

Format: a single lowercase slug, hyphens instead of spaces, no country prefix and no commas. It mirrors AllEvents' own URL path segment — to confirm any city, open allevents.in/<slug>/all and copy the segment after the domain.

City	Slug	Verify URL
Ahmedabad	ahmedabad	allevents.in/ahmedabad/all
Mumbai	mumbai	allevents.in/mumbai/all
New Delhi	new-delhi	allevents.in/new-delhi/all
New York	new-york	allevents.in/new-york/all
London	london	allevents.in/london/all
Singapore	singapore	allevents.in/singapore/all

MCP Delivery Configuration (Optional)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
mcpConnector	string	""	Authorized MCP connector on your Apify account (e.g., Slack, Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets). Leave empty for dataset-only runs.
deliveryMode	enum	summary	summary (single digest) · chunked (split large lists) · perEvent (one call per item) · none.
mcpTool	string	""	Tool name on the connector: send_message, create_page, append_row. Run once with a connector selected — the log lists the connector's available tools.
mcpArguments	object	{}	JSON argument template passed to the tool. String leaves support {placeholders}.
mcpMessageTemplate	string	""	Template rendered and exposed to mcpArguments as {message}.

Placeholders available in mcpArguments and mcpMessageTemplate:

Mode	Placeholders
summary	{location}, {eventCount}, {eventsText}, {message}
chunked	the above plus {part}, {partCount} (and {eventsText} holds one part)
perEvent	{title}, {url}, {dateTime}, {eventLocation}, {interested}, {eventText}, plus {location}, {eventCount}, {message}

Slack example:

{
  "mcpConnector": "<your-authorized-slack-connector>",
  "deliveryMode": "summary",
  "mcpTool": "send_message",
  "mcpMessageTemplate": "Found {eventCount} events in {location}:\n\n{eventsText}",
  "mcpArguments": { "channel": "#events", "text": "{message}" }
}

Chunked delivery groups events into parts under ~72,000 characters and truncates any single event block at ~1,800 characters, so services with per-request block or timeout caps (Notion in particular) never reject the call.

📤 Output Contract & Data Structure

Storage: Apify Dataset (one JSON object per event). Pagination: limit & offset on the dataset items endpoint. Duplicates: one record per unique event URL within a run. Cross-run deduplication is the consumer's responsibility — use URL as the key.

Field	Type	Nullable	Meaning
Title	string	No	Event title as listed on the card. Cards without a title are skipped as ads/placeholders.
URL	string	No	Canonical allevents.in event URL — use as the dedupe key
DateTime	string	No (may be "")	Site display string, e.g. "Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 - 08:30 PM". Not ISO-8601, no timezone offset.
Location	string	No (may be "")	Venue and city as displayed, e.g. "HK Hall: Ahmedabad"
Interested	string	No (may be "")	Interest counter as displayed, e.g. "1511+ Interested". String, not a number.

Missing values are empty strings, not null and not absent keys. All five keys are always present on every item — there are no output field toggles on this Actor.

Datetime format: DateTime is scraped verbatim from the listing card in the site's local presentation. There is no separate timezone field. If you need sortable timestamps, parse it downstream (e.g. dateutil.parser) and attach the city's timezone yourself.

Example output item

{
  "Title": "Allow Me!: A Standup Comedy Show by Rahul Dua",
  "URL": "https://allevents.in/ahmedabad/allow-me-a-standup-comedy-show-by-rahul-dua/3900030185673229",
  "DateTime": "Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 - 08:30 PM",
  "Location": "HK Hall: Ahmedabad",
  "Interested": "1511+ Interested"
}

What a successful run looks like

{
  "status": "SUCCEEDED",
  "defaultDatasetId": "<datasetId>",
  "stats": { "itemCount": 50 }
}

itemCount equal to limit means the cap was reached (more events may exist on the page). itemCount less than limit means the listing was exhausted, the scroll budget ran out, or the free-plan cap applied. itemCount of 0 is a successful run with no matches — check the city slug and the proxy before treating it as a bug.

⚠️ Autonomous Agent Error Handling & Resolution Matrix

Error Code	Detection Condition	Underlying Cause	Deterministic Agent Action
AUTH_INVALID	HTTP 401	Missing or malformed APIFY_TOKEN	Abort & Prompt User: request a valid API token.
RATE_LIMITED	HTTP 429	Apify API rate / concurrency limits	Retry: exponential backoff (2s, 4s, 8s).
SYNC_TIMEOUT	HTTP 408 on the sync endpoint	Run exceeded the 300s synchronous ceiling	Reconfigure: switch to async POST /runs + polling.
BAD_LOCATION	SUCCEEDED with itemCount: 0, log shows the built URL	Slug contains spaces/commas/country prefix, or the city has no AllEvents page	Modify Input: pass a single lowercase slug verified at allevents.in/<slug>/all.

SCRAPE_TIMEOUT	Log line Scrape exceeded 180s — stopping early	Slow scroll/hydration; partial results were still saved	Consume partial data, then re-run with a lower limit.
FREE_PLAN_CAP	itemCount: 5 with the upgrade banner in the log	Free Apify plan caps results at 5 per run	Prompt User: upgrade for the full 100-event run.
CAP_REACHED	itemCount == limit == 100	Per-run maximum truncated the result set	Reconfigure: schedule repeat runs and dedupe downstream on URL.
DELIVERY_SKIPPED	Log line no tool name was provided	mcpConnector set but mcpTool empty	Modify Input: set mcpTool; the dataset is already saved.
DELIVERY_TOOL_UNKNOWN	Log line Tool 'x' is not available on this connector	Wrong tool name for that connector	Modify Input: pick a name from the Available tools: list in the same log line.
DELIVERY_EMPTY	Connector called, body empty	mcpArguments omitted the {message} placeholder	Modify Input: map {message} inside mcpArguments.
CHARGE_LIMIT	Run aborted before reaching limit	maxTotalChargeUsd spend threshold reached	Prompt User: confirm a higher spend cap.

⚠️ Verify before publishing: the HTTP status codes above reflect standard Apify API behavior; the log-line conditions are taken from this Actor's own source. Re-confirm the 408/429 rows against current platform behavior if you depend on them for automated retry logic.

💰 Cost Control & Pricing Transparency

• Pay-per-event pricing: $1.00 per 1,000 events ($0.001 per event, charged as the event-scraped event). No monthly minimums — pay strictly for extracted records.
• Free Apify plans receive up to 5 results per run as a preview, with an upgrade notice in the log.
• Autonomous spend caps: pass maxTotalChargeUsd as a query parameter on the run endpoint to guarantee a hard billing limit per execution — important for any agent spending on your behalf.

Scraped Results Volume	Total Cost (USD)
5 events (free-plan preview)	$0.00
50 events (default run)	$0.05
100 events (single-run ceiling)	$0.10
1,000 events (batched across 10 runs)	$1.00
10,000 events (batched across 100 runs)	$10.00

⚠️ Verify before publishing: these figures assume a pay-per-event Store configuration with a single event-scraped event priced at $0.001. Confirm the Actor's live pricing configuration matches before publishing the listing.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Most failed runs are input formatting or proxy issues, not scraper failures. Work through this section top to bottom — the first three rows account for the large majority of support tickets.

Quick symptom → fix table

#	Symptom you see	Most likely cause	Fix
1	SUCCEEDED but itemCount: 0, log says No event cards detected	The exit IP was served an empty page	Set apifyProxyGroups: ["RESIDENTIAL"] and a country near the city, then retry.
2	SUCCEEDED but itemCount: 0, log shows an odd URL	location was not a clean slug ("Mumbai, India", "new york", "india--mumbai")	Use one lowercase slug: mumbai, new-york. Verify at allevents.in/<slug>/all.
3	Results are from Ahmedabad and you never asked for Ahmedabad	location was omitted; it defaults to Ahmedabad and raises no error	Always pass location explicitly from API / MCP / SDK calls.
4	Exactly 5 results every time	Free Apify plan cap	Upgrade the plan; the log prints the upgrade banner.
5	Never more than 100 results	Hard per-run ceiling; limit above 100 is clamped	Schedule repeat runs and dedupe downstream on URL.
6	Consumer code crashes on item["title"]	Output keys are PascalCase	Use Title, URL, DateTime, Location, Interested.
7	Date parsing fails	DateTime is a display string like "Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 - 08:30 PM"	Parse with a tolerant parser (dateutil) and attach the city timezone yourself.
8	Interested won't cast to int	It is a display string like "1511+ Interested"	Strip non-digits before casting; treat "" as unknown, not zero.
9	Some cards are missing from the dataset	Ad/placeholder cards with no title are skipped by design, and duplicates are removed by URL	Expected behaviour.
10	Fewer results than limit on a busy city	Scroll budget (15 passes) or the 180s scrape ceiling hit first	Lower limit, or run repeatedly and merge on URL.
11	Log: Scrape exceeded 180s — stopping early	Slow hydration/scroll on that run	Partial results were saved; re-run with a smaller limit.
12	Log: Navigation timed out → Failed to load page	30s navigation ceiling reached	Retry; if persistent, change proxy country or group.
13	Log: Proxy setup failed … falling back to direct connection	No proxy access on this plan / bad proxy input	Upgrade for residential, or use apifyProxyGroups: ["AUTO"].
14	No category or date filter in the input	This Actor has none	Filter downstream, or use Smart Event Scraper.
15	Duplicate events across scheduled runs	Deduplication is per-run only	Dedupe downstream on URL — it is the canonical unique key.
16	Slack / Notion / Sheets received nothing	Delivery needs both mcpConnector and mcpTool; otherwise it is skipped with a warning	Set both. The dataset is still written in full — your data is never lost.
17	Log: APIFY_MCP_PROXY_URL is not set	You ran locally with apify run; connectors only resolve on the platform	Deploy with apify push and run on the platform.
18	Connector fired, but the message body is empty	mcpArguments did not reference {message}	Map {message} in mcpArguments and populate mcpMessageTemplate.
19	Delivery fired when you only wanted a dataset	deliveryMode defaults to summary, not none	Set deliveryMode: "none" or leave mcpConnector empty.
20	HTTP 401 / 403	Missing, expired, or malformed APIFY_TOKEN	Regenerate in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations, send as Authorization: Bearer <token>.
21	HTTP 429	Apify account concurrency / rate limits — not AllEvents blocking	Retry with exponential backoff (2s → 4s → 8s).
22	HTTP 408 on run-sync-get-dataset-items	The synchronous endpoint has a hard 300-second ceiling	Switch to async: POST /runs → poll /actor-runs/<runId> → fetch dataset.

Finding the correct city slug

The slug mirrors AllEvents' own URL path segment, so you can always verify it at the source:

1. Open https://allevents.in/ahmedabad/all (or search your city on allevents.in).
2. Look at the path segment immediately after the domain.
3. Copy it verbatim into location.

Rules: all lowercase · single hyphens inside multi-word names · no country prefix · no spaces, no commas, no state or ZIP codes.

❌ Wrong	✅ Correct
Mumbai, India	mumbai
india--mumbai	mumbai
New Delhi	new-delhi
new york, ny	new-york
London, UK	london

Diagnostic checklist before opening an issue

1. Baseline run. location = a slug you copied from an allevents.in URL, limit = 10, deliveryMode: "none", residential proxy on.
2. Results returned? If yes, scale limit back up — the issue is volume or timing, not the slug.
3. Still zero? Swap the proxy (group and country) and re-run. Empty pages on datacenter IPs are the single most common cause.
4. Still zero? Open the same city page in a browser. If AllEvents itself shows nothing, this is a valid empty result, not a bug.
5. Check the run log in the Console Log tab for the resolved input and the final URL the Actor built. This immediately exposes a silently-defaulted location.

If the issue survives all five steps, open an Issues ticket on the Actor page (or email support) with the run ID, the exact input JSON, and what you expected. Run IDs let us replay the exact execution.

ℹ️ itemCount: 0 is a successful run, not an error. A city with no public listings returns an empty dataset with status SUCCEEDED.

❓ FAQ

Setup & access

Do I need an AllEvents.in account or API key?

No. The Actor reads publicly available listing pages only. You need an Apify account and API token; you need no AllEvents credentials whatsoever.

Is this the official AllEvents.in API?

No. This is an independent Actor and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by AllEvents.in.

Do I need to configure proxies?

Yes — and it matters here more than on most Actors. AllEvents frequently serves an empty page to datacenter IPs, so the schema defaults to RESIDENTIAL with country IN. Residential groups require a paid Apify plan.

Can I use this from Make, Zapier, n8n, or a webhook?

Yes. Any tool that can call the Apify API can call this Actor. Use the async pattern for larger runs so you don't hit the 300-second sync ceiling.

Can I plug it into Claude, Cursor, or a LangChain agent?

Yes — it is a native MCP tool:

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=techforce.global/all-events-scraper"

Input & filtering

Can I filter by category, date, or price?

No. The search surface is a single city page. Filter downstream on Title/DateTime, or use Smart Event Scraper which supports filters across six platforms.

Can I scrape several cities in one run?

No — one run per city. Loop the Actor in your orchestration layer, or use Smart Event Scraper for breadth in a single run.

Can I search by keyword?

No. Pull the city feed and filter downstream on Title.

Output & data

Why are the output keys capitalized?

The dataset uses Title, URL, DateTime, Location, Interested for backward compatibility with existing consumers. All five keys are always present; missing values are empty strings.

Why isn't DateTime an ISO timestamp?

It is captured verbatim from the listing card, which is a localized display string. Parsing it into ISO would require guessing a timezone; we leave that choice to you.

Can I get organizer emails or attendee lists?

No. The Actor returns public listing-card fields only.

Delivery

What is the MCP connector for?

It pushes the scraped events straight into a tool you have already authorized on your Apify account — Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, Airtable, or any MCP-compatible connector — with no glue code. The dataset is always saved regardless.

Which delivery mode should I use?

summary for a digest, chunked for long lists into services with request caps (Notion), perEvent for row-per-event targets (Sheets/Airtable), none for dataset-only runs.

Does delivery work when running locally?

No. Connectors resolve through the Apify MCP Proxy, which only exists on the platform. Locally you'll see APIFY_MCP_PROXY_URL is not set and the dataset is saved as normal.

Limits & pricing

How many events can one run return?

100. Beyond that, schedule repeat runs and merge the datasets on URL.

What does it cost?

$0.001 per event — $1.00 per 1,000 results. Pay-as-you-go, no monthly minimum.

How do I guarantee an agent never overspends?

Pass maxTotalChargeUsd as a query parameter on the run endpoint. It is a hard per-execution ceiling.
