## Pricing

from $1.90 / 1,000 events

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

## TickPick Scraper

![banner](https://i.ibb.co/Xr634ZnR/Screenshot-2026-03-23-at-2-49-23-PM.png)

TickPick (tickpick.com) is a US ticket marketplace for sports, concerts, and theater events with no hidden fees. This actor collects structured event data from TickPick category, search, and event detail pages.

### Introduction

The TickPick scraper starts from category or search URLs, collects event listings, opens detail pages, and extracts structured data such as event name, date, venue, performers, ticket pricing stats, and event metadata.

### Use Cases

- **Market research**: Track event pricing trends and ticket availability across sports, concerts, and theater.
- **Competitive analysis**: Compare ticket prices and inventory across events and venues.
- **Lead generation**: Build structured event datasets for sales, outreach, and enrichment workflows.
- **Analytics pipelines**: Feed dashboards, warehousing, and downstream analysis tools with normalized event data.

### Input

Provide the following fields:

- `startUrls` (array, required): TickPick category, search, or event detail URLs.
- `maxItems` (integer, optional): Maximum number of detail items to extract per start URL.
- `proxyConfiguration` (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.

Notes:

- If a `startUrl` is a category or search URL, the actor collects event detail pages from that source.
- If a `startUrl` is a detail URL, the actor extracts that event directly.
- `maxItems` is enforced per original input URL.
- Proxies are recommended for stability, especially for larger crawls.

### Input Examples

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.tickpick.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals-tickets/"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.tickpick.com/search/?q=imagine"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
```

### Important Notes

TickPick is **geo-restricted to the US**. Use an Apify **US residential** proxy. Runs without a proxy are often blocked and return no rows.

### Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

```json
{

### FAQ

- **How many events can it extract?**
  Controlled by `maxItems` per source URL.

- **Can it scrape sports, concerts, and theater?**
  Yes. The actor supports all TickPick event types.

- **Do I need proxies?**
  Not always, but proxies are recommended for larger runs and stability.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,lexis-solutions/tickpick-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).
