⚙️ Input Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
search_query	String	❌ No	""	Free-text keyword — filters events by title and venue match (e.g. "AI conference", "yoga workshop", "food festival")
category	Select	✅ Yes	any	Event type — one of any, technology, business, food, health, arts, education. Use any to pull all event types.
sources	Multi-select	❌ No	all 6	Platforms to scrape — allevents, eventbrite, meetup, district, eventseye, conferencealerts. Pick a subset for faster, focused runs. (District covers Indian cities only and is auto-skipped elsewhere.)
location	String	✅ Yes	New York	City name used by all scrapers — e.g. London, New York, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Dubai, Toronto
limit	Integer	❌ No	10	Max events per source (0–100). Set to 0 for no limit.
date_from	String	❌ No	""	Filter events on or after this date — format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2026-06-14)
date_to	String	❌ No	""	Filter events on or before this date — format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. 2026-06-30)

💡 category and location are required, but both ship with sensible defaults (any and New York), so you can run immediately. Add search_query to keyword-filter, sources to limit platforms, and date_from + date_to to scope to a specific window.

📌 Example — Tech Events in London This Month

{
    "search_query": "developer conference",
    "category": "technology",
    "location": "London",
    "limit": 50,
    "date_from": "2026-06-14",
    "date_to": "2026-06-30"
}

📌 Example — Business Networking in New York, Next 2 Weeks

{
    "category": "business",
    "location": "New York",
    "limit": 30,
    "date_from": "2026-06-14",
    "date_to": "2026-06-28"
}

📌 Example — All Food Events in Mumbai, No Date Limit

{
    "category": "food",
    "location": "Mumbai"
}

📌 Example — Wellness Events in London, Next Month

{
    "search_query": "yoga retreat",
    "category": "health",
    "location": "London",
    "date_from": "2026-07-01",
    "date_to": "2026-07-31"
}

📦 Output — Standardised Schema Across All 6 Platforms

Every event record returns the same fields regardless of source platform. No custom parsing per platform — the same spreadsheet column, database table, or n8n node works identically for AllEvents, Eventbrite, Meetup, District, EventsEye, and ConferenceAlerts results in the same dataset.

Field	Description
title	Full event name
date	Event date string
location	City and/or full venue address
venue	Venue name
price	Ticket price or Free. Returns N/A if unavailable
url	Direct event page link
category	Event category — from the filter or auto-detected
source	Which platform this record was scraped from
description	Event description (where available)

Missing values always return as "N/A" — never null or undefined. Safe to import directly into any spreadsheet or database without conditional null handling.

📌 Example Output Record

{
    "title": "London Tech Summit 2026",
    "date": "19 Jun 2026",
    "location": "London, UK",
    "venue": "Tobacco Dock, London",
    "price": "£149",
    "url": "https://www.allevents.in/london/london-tech-summit-2026",
    "category": "Tech & Software",
    "source": "allevents.in",
    "description": "Two-day summit covering AI, Web3, and developer tooling."
}
