Extract event data from Resident Advisor (RA.co) — the world's largest electronic music platform. Get event details, lineups, ticket links, and more as structured JSON. A practical alternative to the missing official RA API.

Features

Scrape upcoming and past events by:

• AREA/CITY — Amsterdam, Berlin, London, NYC, Ibiza, or any RA-listed location
• VENUE — Specific clubs like Berghain, fabric, or Shelter
• ARTIST — Specific DJ or artist
• EVENT ID — Single event or range of events

Filter by date range to scrape historical data or limit results to a specific time period.

Use cases

• Event aggregator apps — Build a music event discovery platform with RA data
• DJ tour tracking — Monitor when your favorite artists are playing near you
• Nightlife analytics — Analyze electronic music trends by city, genre, or venue
• Calendar integrations — Sync RA events to Google Calendar, Notion, or Airtable
• Notification bots — Get alerts when artists announce new shows

Usage

Provide one or more RA URLs and the scraper extracts events. By default, it returns upcoming events — use date filters to scrape past events or a specific time period.

Input

Note: The scraper stops gracefully and finishes processing current requests, so maxItems and maxErrors may be slightly exceeded. maxItems can be made strict using enforceMaxItems.

Supported URL formats

Date filtering

Note: Date filters apply to area, venue, and artist pages only — event ID URLs ignore date filters.

Example input

{
"startUrls":[
{"url":"https://ra.co/events/nl/amsterdam"},
{"url":"https://ra.co/dj/upsammy"}
],
"maxItems":50,
"downloadDelay":1500,
"proxyConfiguration":{
"useApifyProxy":true
}
}

Tip: Use maxItems with enforceMaxItems enabled to test your setup without burning resources.

Output

Returns structured JSON for each event.

Integrations

Connect Resident Advisor data to other apps using Apify integrations:

• Google Sheets — Export RA events to spreadsheets
• Slack/Discord — Send notifications for new events
• Zapier/Make — Automate workflows with RA event data
• Webhooks — Push data to your own API endpoints

Caveats

• Results may arrive not fully in order due to async processing — sort by date in post-processing if needed
• RA occasionally returns duplicate events. These count toward maxItems, but duplicates are filtered from the final output
• Only public events are included

Logging

The scraper logs detailed information during execution:

• INFO: Total events found per URL
• WARNING: No events found for URL
• ERROR: Invalid artist, venue, or area URL

All errors are non-blocking — the scraper continues processing remaining URLs.
