City Scout 🔭 - Universal Event Intelligence

Your personal event radar for tech meetups, parties, and workshops

Stop tab-hopping. Get events from Luma, Posh, and Eventbrite in one query—clean, fast, and AI-ready.

✨ What You Get

This Actor aggregates events from three popular platforms and returns standardized, structured data perfect for:

• 🤖 AI training datasets
• 📊 Market research & analytics
• 📱 Building event discovery apps
• 🔍 Personalized event recommendations

Platforms Scraped

• Luma (lu.ma) - Tech community events
• Posh (posh.vip) - Parties, mixers, social events
• Eventbrite (eventbrite.com) - General event marketplace

🚀 How It Works

1. Enter your search terms (e.g., "Tech Networking", "Startup Pitch")
2. Specify a location (e.g., "San Francisco", "New York")
3. Set max results (1-100 per platform)
4. Get clean JSON with normalized event data

⚡ Concurrent Scraping

All three platforms are scraped simultaneously using Promise.all, so you get results 3x faster.
