## Pricing

from $10.00 / 1,000 results

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`).

## 🎧 Resident Advisor Scraper

Extract events from **Resident Advisor (ra.co)** in any city, country or the whole world, upcoming or years back, or from any club, promoter or artist. Each event comes with local and UTC times, the full **lineup with every artist's Instagram, SoundCloud, Facebook, X, Bandcamp and Discogs**, venue with address, GPS, phone, website and capacity, **every ticket tier with price and sale status**, people attending, genres, flyers, promoters with their socials, and the description. Filter by genre, keyword, date, price, tickets on sale, attendance, festivals and RA Picks. Or switch the output to **artists (with booking emails)**, **venues** or **promoters**.

> 👉 **Try it now:** press **Start**. The ready-made input gives you 10 results in a few seconds.<br>
> 💰 **$0.013 per result** on the Free plan (10 results per run), from $0.012 on paid plans. [See pricing](#-pricing)

### ✨ Why this scraper?

> - **Fast**<br>
>   1,000 events in about 12 seconds, 2,000 worldwide in about 20.
>
> - **Complete**<br>
>   Resident Advisor stops listing after 10,000 results per search; this Actor splits big searches into shorter date ranges, so a whole country or the whole world comes back in full, multi-day events once.
>
> - **Lead-ready**<br>
>   Artist booking emails, venue phones and websites, promoter and artist socials as clean links (broken links and tracking tails removed).
>
> - **Clean data**<br>
>   Times in local and UTC, ISO country codes, prices as numbers with currency, ticket tiers with sale status, HTML turned into plain text.
>
> - **No proxy needed**<br>
>   Nothing extra to set up or pay for.
>
> - **Any place**<br>
>   A city ("Berlin"), "City, Country", a country ("Germany"), **Worldwide**, or "latitude, longitude". Several in one run.
>
> - **Apify platform**<br>
>   Schedule runs, get only new results, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

### ❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

#### Is there a Resident Advisor API? Do I need an API key?

> Resident Advisor has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Resident Advisor API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP:
> `claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/resident-advisor-scraper"`

#### Why do I get only 10 results?

> On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

#### A place was skipped

> Add the country ("Valencia, Spain"), or type "latitude, longitude".

#### A city gives nearby towns too

> Resident Advisor groups some cities into regions. Set a **Radius** to search a circle around the city instead.

#### Is this an official Resident Advisor tool?

> No. It is independent and not affiliated with Resident Advisor. It reads only data Resident Advisor publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Resident Advisor's terms and the laws that apply to you.
