Documentation
Apify Actor This Apify actor generates a list of fictional, but realistic, local events using the Google Gemini API. It's designed to simulate a web scraper, providing structured data based on user-defined criteria. ## Input The actor takes the following input parameters, which can be configured in the Apify Console UI or via the API. - Location: The city and state/country for the events (e.g., Austin, TX). - Keywords: Comma-separated keywords to guide the event generation (e.g., music, festival). - Start Date: The start of the date range for events (YYYY-MM-DD). - End Date: The end of the date range for events (YYYY-MM-DD). - Sources: Simulated sources to scrape from (e.g., eventbrite.com). - Maximum Events: The number of events to generate. See INPUT_SCHEMA.json for detailed definitions and defaults. ## Output The actor saves the generated events into the default dataset. Each item in the dataset is a JSON object representing an event, with fields like eventName, eventDate, venueName, eventDescription, etc. ## Setup and Running on Apify 1. Create an Actor: Create a new actor on the Apify platform. 2. Push Code: Push the contents of this directory (apify/) to the actor's source code. You can do this using the Apify CLI or by connecting a GitHub repository. 3. Set Environment Variable: In the actor's settings, go to the "Environment variables" section. Add a new variable with the key API_KEY. Set its value to your Google Gemini API key and mark it as a "Secret". 4. Build: Build the actor on the Apify platform. 5. Run: Start an actor run, providing your desired input configuration. The results will appear in the run's dataset.
