Eventbrite Scraper - Extract Events by City & Category

Eventbrite Scraper & MCP Connector

Scrape public Eventbrite events by city and category — event details, dates, venues, prices, organizers, and images, all as structured JSON. No API key, no login, no manual copy-pasting from listing pages.

Built for event marketers, community managers, researchers, and developers who need a clean feed of what's happening in a city — in seconds, not an afternoon of browsing Eventbrite.

Pick a city and category → get every matching event → deliver it straight into Notion, Slack, Google Sheets, or your CRM.

⭐ Why This Actor?

• ✅ Just pick a city and category — use Eventbrite's own country--city slug (e.g. india--ahmedabad) and any of 18 built-in categories
• ✅ No token, no login — the Actor pulls a session token straight from Eventbrite's public browse page, the same way a browser does
• ✅ Filter as you scrape — date range, free-only, and online-only filters cut out events you don't need before they hit your dataset
• ✅ Automatic pagination — keeps paging through results until it hits your maxEvents limit or runs out of events
• ✅ Configurable output fields — turn description, organizer info, and images on only when you need them, to keep runs fast and datasets lean
• ✅ Polite by design — small delays between pages and retry-with-backoff on rate limits, so runs don't get blocked mid-way
• ✅ Deliver anywhere via MCP connectors — push scraped events straight into Notion, Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable, Jira, and more
• ✅ Export-ready — JSON, CSV, Excel, or direct API integration for your own pipeline

🚀 How to Use

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Set Location using Eventbrite's slug format (e.g. india--ahmedabad, united-states--new-york).
3. Pick a Category from the dropdown (default: All Events).
4. Set Max events to cap how many results to collect (default: 100).
5. (Optional) Narrow results with Start/End date, Free events only, or Online events only.
6. (Optional) Toggle which output fields to include — name, date, venue, URL, and price are on by default; description, organizer, and image are off.
7. (Optional) Pick an MCP connector to deliver scraped events into Notion, Slack, Google Sheets, etc.
8. Click Run — events stream into the dataset as each page is scraped.
9. Download as CSV, Excel, or JSON — or let the connector push them into your tools automatically.

🌐 Proxy: requests run through Apify Proxy (residential group recommended) to reduce the chance of rate-limiting or blocks. 💡 First time with a connector? Run once with a connector selected — the run log prints the connector's available tool names, so you know what to put in Connector tool name.

🔌 Integrations & Delivery

Deliver scraped events into any MCP connector you've authorized in Apify — no glue code, no webhooks:

• Notion — create a page (or split a long event list across several pages)
• Slack / Discord — post a summary or per-event alerts to a channel
• Google Sheets / Airtable — append a structured row per event
• Jira / GitHub / Linear — open a task per event (e.g. for outreach or follow-up)
• …or any other MCP-compatible connector

Credentials stay private — delivery runs through the Apify MCP Proxy, so the Actor never sees your connector tokens. You can also consume the dataset directly via the Apify API, or wire it into n8n, Zapier, and Make.

⚙️ Delivery modes: summary sends all scraped events in one call; chunked splits a long event list across a few calls/pages so services like Notion never hit block-count or timeout limits; perEvent sends one call per event (great for a row-per-event sheet or a message-per-event feed); none saves to the dataset only. MCP delivery only runs on the Apify platform and never affects what's saved to the dataset.

🛠️ How It Works

my_actor/main.py reads the input, then for the given city and category:

1. Fetches the Eventbrite browse page for the location/category and extracts a session token (from cookies, embedded page data, or a bearer-style token) — no login required.
2. Calls Eventbrite's internal search API with that token, paginating page by page (with retry and backoff on rate limits).
3. Parses each raw event into a clean record (name, dates, venue, price, organizer, image), applying date/free/online filters as it goes.
4. Keeps only the output fields you've toggled on, pushes each record to the dataset, and stops once maxEvents is reached or events run out.
5. Once scraping finishes, if a connector is configured, delivers the collected events via MCP — summarized, chunked, or one call per event.
