Partiful Events Scraper

Extract public event details, a host's public profile and published event list, or Partiful's discover/trending feed from partiful.com — no account or login needed.

Why use this actor

• One actor covers Partiful's whole public surface: a single event's full detail, a host/organizer's public profile (plus their published event list, when they've made one public), or the platform's discover/trending feed
• No account, login, or API key required — this actor reads the same server-rendered data (__NEXT_DATA__) that powers the partiful.com website itself for every logged-out visitor
• Recovers far more than a basic HTML scrape: full location/address, guest-count breakdowns, images, custom fields, display theme, and more — not just a title and a date
• Accepts a full URL, a path, or just the bare ID — paste whatever you copied from the address bar
• Automatic retries on temporary network hiccups
• Honest about limits: guest lists are gated behind a login wall upstream and are out of scope, stated plainly rather than faked (see Known limits)

How it works

Pick a mode:

1. event — full public detail for one or more specific event URLs.
2. host — a host/organizer's public profile, plus their published event list (only present for hosts who've opted into showing one).
3. discover — Partiful's public discover/trending feed (NYC, LA, Bay Area), optionally filtered by region (no URL needed).

Input

Event detail:

{
  "mode": "event",
  "urls": ["https://partiful.com/e/S9m7mAA0avBXnFR6rgf0", "hfqCb3JYBBGZ7d90ojHb"]
}

Host / organizer profile:

{
  "mode": "host",
  "url": "https://partiful.com/u/gKCLORBCJ02HNuasw3YI",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Discover feed:

{ "mode": "discover" }

{ "mode": "discover", "regions": ["NYC", "LA"], "maxItems": 20 }

Field	Type	Description
mode	string	"event" (default), "host", or "discover".
url	string	event/host mode — a single partiful.com URL, path, or bare ID.
urls	array	event/host mode — multiple URLs/IDs in one run.
regions	array	discover mode — subset of ["NYC", "LA", "SF"]. Leave empty for all.
maxItems	integer	host mode — max events from a host's public list. discover mode — max trending events returned. Default 100, max 10,000.
maxConcurrency	integer	event/host mode — how many URLs to fetch in parallel. Default 4.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings. Residential is on by default (not required for this target — no WAF was found, see CRAWLING_METHOD.md — kept for production robustness).

Output

event mode — one record per event, full upstream shape (truncated here for readability; real output captured 2026-08-30):

{
  "_input": "https://partiful.com/e/hfqCb3JYBBGZ7d90ojHb",
  "_source": "S1-nextdata",
  "_scrapedAt": "2026-08-30T17:00:45Z",
  "event": {
    "title": "Comedy night",
    "startDate": "2026-05-17T04:00:00.000Z",
    "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
    "status": "PUBLISHED",
    "locationInfo": {
      "type": "structured",
      "mapsInfo": {
        "name": "The Ice House Comedy",
        "addressLines": ["24 N Mentor Ave", "Pasadena, CA 91106"]
      }
    },
    "maxCapacity": 80,
    "guestStatusCounts": { "GOING": 11, "INTERESTED": 9, "MAYBE": 2, "...": "..." },
    "goingGuestCount": 11
  },
  "guest": null,
  "hosts": [{ "name": "...", "id": "..." }],
  "passwordRequired": false
}

host mode — one HOST_PROFILE record, then one HOST_EVENT record per published event (real output, truncated):

{
  "_input": "gKCLORBCJ02HNuasw3YI",
  "_source": "S1-nextdata",
  "recordType": "HOST_PROFILE",
  "user": { "name": "OC Cuties", "id": "gKCLORBCJ02HNuasw3YI", "bio": {"...": "..."} }
}

{
  "_input": "gKCLORBCJ02HNuasw3YI",
  "_source": "S1-nextdata",
  "recordType": "HOST_EVENT",
  "id": "0dVvDJw8076h04QVBVnl",
  "title": "Cuties Go AYCE",
  "startDate": "2025-04-09T00:30:00.000Z"
}

A HOST_PROFILE record carries "_warning": "host_has_no_public_event_list" instead of any HOST_EVENT rows when that host hasn't opted into showing a public event list — most personal accounts.

discover mode — one DISCOVER_EVENT record per trending event (real output, truncated):

{
  "_input": "discover:NYC,LA",
  "_source": "S1-nextdata",
  "recordType": "DISCOVER_EVENT",
  "region": "NYC",
  "regionTitle": "Trending in NYC",
  "id": "G5T1visd0LOmscq9n7pA",
  "title": "Guinness world record attempt: DUCK DUCK GOOSE",
  "locationInfo": { "mapsInfo": { "name": "Central Park", "approximateLocation": "New York, NY" } },
  "interestedGuestCount": 523,
  "goingGuestCount": 286
}

A record with _error instead of the fields above means that input could not be processed (for example, "_error": "not_found" for an ID that doesn't resolve to any event or host).

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.005 per result (apify-default-dataset-item — every record written to the dataset, whether an event row, HOST_PROFILE, HOST_EVENT, or DISCOVER_EVENT), with volume discounts on paid Apify plans: $0.0043 (Bronze) → $0.0035 (Silver) → $0.0027 (Gold) → $0.002 (Platinum) → $0.0015 (Diamond). See CRAWLING_METHOD.md for the competitive analysis this price is based on: 7 direct Partiful-specific Store listings were found (heliostech/partiful-event-scraper at $0.003 flat is the market leader by users; hypebridge/partiful-events-scraper prices its closest feature-equivalent event/host-profile events at $0.006→$0.003 tiered), plus one strong adjacent-platform comparator (posh-vip-scraper, 28 users, at $0.003 flat). This actor's price sits just above the $0.003 incumbent floor — justified by recovering materially more fields per record (full address, guest-count breakdown, images, custom fields) than the cheaper competitors capture — while its Gold tier and below already beat every competitor's own best discount price. Store category: Lead Generation, Social Media.

Known limits

• Guest lists are not available. Partiful only renders the actual guest list client-side after a logged-in session — every event page's server-rendered payload omits it even when showGuestList: true. This is Partiful's own access-control choice, not a bug on our end, and is out of scope per this project's no-login policy.
• host mode's published-event list is opt-in per host. Most personal accounts have not enabled it; brand/organizer accounts more often have. A null list is flagged with _warning, not treated as an error.
• discover mode covers 3 fixed regions (NYC, LA, Bay Area) with a small curated list each — this is Partiful's own editorial feed, not a full paginated or searchable index of every public event on the platform.
