## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Partiful Event Scraper

Extract public events from [Partiful](https://partiful.com) — the viral social event platform. Scrape events by city including titles, dates, locations, guest counts, host profiles, and more. No login or API key required.

### What it does

This actor visits Partiful's public explore pages and collects all listed events. It supports 9 major cities and can optionally visit each event's detail page to retrieve full data including complete host profiles and all guest count breakdowns.

### Use cases

- **Event marketing research** — identify popular events and trends by city
- **Lead generation** — find event organizers and communities in your target market
- **Competitive intelligence** — monitor event activity in your industry
- **Social listening** — track which events are gaining traction
- **Data analysis** — build datasets of local events for research or apps

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `cities` | array | `["nyc","la","sf"]` | City slugs to scrape. Options: `nyc`, `la`, `sf`, `bos`, `dc`, `chi`, `lon`, `mia`, `atx` |
| `maxEventsPerCity` | integer | `50` | Max events per city (1–500) |
| `fetchEventDetails` | boolean | `true` | Visit each event page for full data. Disable for faster/cheaper runs |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | — | Optional proxy settings |

#### Supported cities

| Slug | City |
|------|------|
| `nyc` | New York City |
| `la` | Los Angeles |
| `sf` | San Francisco |
| `bos` | Boston |
| `dc` | Washington, D.C. |
| `chi` | Chicago |
| `lon` | London |
| `mia` | Miami |
| `atx` | Austin |

### Output

Each result is a JSON record saved to the default dataset:

```json
{
  "id": "x82ndPsPYCo1qWGuSMUo",
  "url": "https://partiful.com/e/x82ndPsPYCo1qWGuSMUo",

  "scrapedAt": "2026-04-11T01:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Performance & cost

- **Fast mode** (`fetchEventDetails: false`): ~1–2 requests per city. Very cheap.
- **Full mode** (`fetchEventDetails: true`): 1 explore request + 1 per event. ~50 requests for 50 events/city.
- Pricing: **$0.003 per event** (pay per result)

### Legal

This actor only accesses publicly available data from Partiful's explore pages. It does not access private events, user accounts, or any data requiring authentication. Always comply with Partiful's Terms of Service and applicable laws.

# Actor input Schema

## `cities` (type: `array`):

List of cities to scrape events from. Use slugs: nyc, la, sf, bos, dc, chi, lon, mia, atx

## `maxEventsPerCity` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of events to collect per city. Lower values = faster and cheaper runs.

## `fetchEventDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, the scraper visits each event's page to get complete data including full host profiles. Disable for faster, cheaper runs using explore-page data only.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy settings. Leave blank to run without a proxy.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "cities": [
    "nyc",
    "la",
    "sf"
  ],
  "maxEventsPerCity": 50,
  "fetchEventDetails": true
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("heliostech/partiful-event-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');

echo '{

    "la",
    "sf"
  ],
  "maxEventsPerCity": 50,
  "fetchEventDetails": true
}' |
apify call heliostech/partiful-event-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,heliostech/partiful-event-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
