Dice.fm Event Scraper

An Apify actor for scraping concert and event data from Dice.fm. It extracts structured information like event names, dates, locations, and prices for analysis or integration.

Overview

This tool automates data collection from Dice.fm, a global ticketing and event discovery platform. It's built for developers, researchers, promoters, or anyone needing to programmatically gather event information at scale. You can search by city, artist, venue, or promoter, and filter by date and price range.

Key Features

• Structured Data Extraction: Pulls consistent, clean JSON data for each event.
• Flexible Search: Start from specific URLs or use search parameters like query and type.
• Filtering: Narrow results by date range (dateFrom, dateUntil) and ticket price (priceFrom, priceTo).
• Built for Scale: Uses Apify's infrastructure and proxy support for reliable, large-scale runs.
• Maintained: Regularly updated by the Lexis Solutions team to handle site changes.

How to Use

Configure the actor via input settings, then run it. The scraper will navigate Dice.fm and extract events matching your criteria, outputting a dataset of event objects.

Input

Configure the run using these main input fields:

• startUrls (array, optional): Specific Dice.fm URLs to scrape (event, venue, artist, promoter, or city pages).
• maxItems (integer, required): The maximum number of events to scrape. Default is 10.
• proxyConfiguration (object, required): Apify Proxy settings. Default: { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [] }.
• query (string, optional): Search term (e.g., "London", "Artist Name").
• type (string, optional): Search context. Options: city, event, artist, venue, promoter. Default is city.
• priceFrom / priceTo (string, optional): Min/max ticket price. Use values like "10", "20", "30".
• dateFrom / dateUntil (string, optional): Date range in YYYY-MM-DD format.
