How to Scrape Eventbrite Events in Node.js

This example shows how to scrape Eventbrite events in Node.js using the Eventbrite Event Scraper actor on Apify. No browser automation or HTML parsing required — just call the actor via the Apify API client and get structured event data back.

What this example does

• Passes a list of Eventbrite search URLs as input to the actor
• Runs the actor on Apify's cloud infrastructure
• Waits for the run to complete
• Fetches the results from the actor's dataset
• Prints each event object to the console

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or higher
• An Apify account (free tier available)
• An Apify API token

Installation

npm install

Environment setup

Copy .env.example to .env and add your Apify API token:

cp .env.example .env

Then open .env and set your token:

APIFY_TOKEN=your_apify_token_here

Usage

npm start

Code example

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
import 'dotenv/config';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Set APIFY_TOKEN in your .env file (copy .env.example to get started)
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN,
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "searchUrls": [
        "https://www.eventbrite.com/d/united-states--texas/all-events/"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("piotrv1001/eventbrite-event-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

See sample-output.json for a full example. Each event object includes:

Field	Description

venue	Venue name and full structured address
isOnlineEvent	true if the event is online-only

Use cases

• Event aggregators — build a local or niche events directory by scraping multiple Eventbrite search pages
• Market research — analyze event trends, popular categories, and organizer activity in a city or industry
• Lead generation — find conferences, meetups, and trade shows relevant to your target audience
