District Events Scraper: India & UAE Events, Shows and Ticket Prices

Scrape events from District by Zomato (the platform formerly known as Paytm Insider) in India and the UAE: concerts, comedy, nightlife, theatre, festivals, workshops, game zones, theme parks and more. You get every upcoming show date, every ticket tier with its price and sold-out status, the venue with GPS coordinates, the organizer and their rating, the lineup, the description and the event guide (language, duration, age limit, layout).

No login, no cookies, no account. It covers district.in and district.ae in one actor.

What you can scrape

Mode	You give	You get
Events in cities	cities like "Mumbai", "Delhi NCR", "Bengaluru", "Dubai" (optionally categories like Comedy or Nightlife)	the events District lists for each city, in District's own order. Big cities have well over 1,000.
Search	artists, shows, festivals or venues ("sunburn", "stand up comedy", "coldplay")	matching live events, from District's search plus a match against the whole catalog
Whole catalog	nothing, or cities / a link filter	every live event page District publishes (about 7,300 in India and the UAE)
Event links	district.in / district.ae event links	full details for each one, including ended and cancelled events, which makes it useful for monitoring

Activities (workshops, game zones, theme and water parks, museums, adventure, kids' play) come from the same actor: set Events or activities to Activities or Both.

What each event row contains

• Event: name, link, status (upcoming, sold_out, cancelled, ended), category and subcategories, event or activity, online or in-person
• Dates: next show and last show (local time with offset), District's date text, timezone
• Shows: each upcoming show with start/end time and, for each ticket tier: price, strike price, available or sold out, min and max per order, when sales close, convenience fee % and taxes/fees (GST in India, VAT and booking charges in the UAE)
• Price summary: price text, min and max price, currency (INR or AED), number of tiers, sold-out tiers, available tiers, all sold out yes/no
• Venue: name, full address, locality, city, latitude/longitude, Google place id and a Google Maps link
• Organizer: name, NPS score, number of reviews and likes, events hosted
• Extras: lineup (artists), event guide (language, duration, age limits, layout, seating, kid and pet friendly), things to know, description, poster, horizontal banner, video, gallery, rating and review count, attendee count, popularity score, offers
• Source: which city, category or search term the row came from

Use cases

• Event promoters and venues: see what competitors put on sale, at what prices, and how fast tiers sell out.
• Ticket and price monitoring: schedule the actor on a list of event links and compare runs to catch price drops, new shows and sold-out tiers.
• City guides, newsletters and apps: a clean, deduplicated feed of what's on in each city, with posters, dates, venues and coordinates.
• Market research: categories, price bands and organizer ratings across India's and the UAE's live-entertainment market.
• Lead generation: organizers and venues that actively sell tickets, with their track record.

Good to know

• Metro areas: a city returns what District shows for it, which includes neighbouring cities (Delhi NCR includes Gurugram and Noida; Mumbai includes Thane and Navi Mumbai; Dubai includes Sharjah and Abu Dhabi). Each row has its own city. Turn on Only this exact city to drop the neighbours.
• Search depth: District's search box returns at most 20 events per term and place. Leave Search the whole catalog too on to find the rest.
• Live events only by default: ended and cancelled events are skipped in city, search and catalog modes (switches to include them are in Filters). Links you give are always returned, with their status.
• Recurring activities can have hundreds of time slots. showCount and the price and sold-out summary cover all of them; the shows list holds the next 20 by default (Max shows per event).
• Times are local to the event with their UTC offset (+05:30 India, +04:00 UAE). availableUntil (when a tier's sales close) is in UTC.
• Fees: convenienceFeePercent and taxesAndFees[].percent are percentages (7 means 7%).
• Links or search terms win: if you fill in Event links or Search terms but leave the mode on Events in cities, the actor scrapes your links / runs your search (it says so in the log). Several links, cities or terms can also be pasted into one line, separated by commas.
• Very large events (hundreds of shows with 150+ seat blocks each) are trimmed to fit Apify's 9 MB item limit: fewer listed shows, while showCount, prices and sold-out counts still cover every show.

FAQ

Do I need a District account? No. Nothing is needed besides the input.

How fast is it? With full details: 20 events in about 10 seconds, 1,000 events across four cities in about 75 seconds, 1,500 catalog events in about 95 seconds. Listing-only runs are faster still.

Which proxies does it use? Apify's automatic (datacenter) proxy by default, which is the cheapest. If District ever starts blocking, the actor switches to residential proxies in India or the UAE on its own, if your Apify plan includes them. If it doesn't, the actor slows down and keeps retrying on new IPs for several minutes instead of giving up, and if District keeps refusing, the run's status message tells you what to change. If a proxy you configured yourself refuses connections, the run moves to Apify's automatic proxy instead of stopping.

What happens if something goes wrong mid-run? The actor retries on fresh IPs, saves what it has collected, and finishes before your run's timeout. It does not end in failure because of a slow page.

Can I get only listing data, faster? Yes: turn off Full event details. You still get the name, link, dates, price text, venue, city, coordinates, rating and poster. The price per event is the same.

How much does it cost? $5 per 1,000 events ($0.005 per event saved to your dataset), with no start fee. You pay only for events actually delivered: duplicates, events removed by your filters, links that are not found, failed requests and anything past your spending limit are never charged. For example, 100 Mumbai events cost $0.50 and the whole UAE catalog (about 190 events) costs about $0.95.

Is it legal to scrape District? This actor collects only public information that District shows to every visitor without logging in: event names, dates, venues, ticket prices and availability, organizer ratings and the event descriptions. Rows can include the names of performers and organizers as they appear on public event pages. Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but you are responsible for how you use the results: follow the laws that apply to you (for example India's DPDP Act, GDPR, PIPEDA or CCPA) and District's terms, and check with a lawyer if you are unsure. Apify's guide is a good starting point: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. It needs no District account, login, cookie or phone number. It reads only what District's public website serves to any visitor: event listings, event pages, search results and the public event sitemap. It never sees anyone's bookings, tickets, payment details or profile, and ratings come as totals only, with no reviewer names.
