Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Setlist.fm Search Scraper This actor allows you to search and scrape setlists from Setlist.fm by providing a search URL. It automatically handles pagination and extracts comprehensive setlist information including artist details, venue information, performance dates, set times, and song lists. ### Features - **URL-based Scraping:** Find setlists by providing a Setlist.fm search URL - **Automatic Pagination:** Automatically navigates through pages to collect all available setlists - **Comprehensive Setlist Data:** Extract detailed information about each performance including: - Performance date and title - Artist name and profile URL - Venue name and location - Set times (doors and show times) - Complete song lists - **Data Enrichment:** Each record includes the original search URL and timestamp for traceability ### Input Parameters | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `searchUrl` | string | Yes | Complete Setlist.fm search URL to scrape | | `maxItems` | integer | No | Maximum number of setlists to fetch | ### Output The output is a main list of setlist objects, each containing: - `searchUrl`: The original search URL used - `uniqueId`: Unique identifier for the setlist - `date`: Performance date - `setlistTitle`: Title of the setlist - `setlistUrl`: URL to the full setlist page - `setlistId`: Setlist identifier - `artistName`: Name of the performing artist - `artistUrl`: URL to the artist's profile page - `venueName`: Name of the venue - `venueUrl`: URL to the venue page - `setTimes`: Door and show times information - `songs`: Array of songs performed - `setSummaryText`: Summary text of the performance - `scrapedAt`: Timestamp of when the setlist was scraped Example output: ```json [ { "searchUrl": "https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=ye", "uniqueId": "434bf7bf", "date": "Feb 5, 2026", "setlistTitle": "Ye Vagabonds at The Ark, Ann Arbor, MI, USA", "setlistUrl": "setlist/ye-vagabonds/2026/the-ark-ann-arbor-mi-434bf7bf.html", "setlistId": "434bf7bf", "artistName": "Ye Vagabonds", "artistUrl": "setlists/ye-vagabonds-1bf69180.html", "venueName": "The Ark, Ann Arbor, MI, USA", "venueUrl": "venue/the-ark-ann-arbor-mi-usa-73d6ca29.html", "setTimes": "", "songs": [], "setSummaryText": "", "scrapedAt": "2026-02-06T10:30:00.000Z" }, { "searchUrl": "https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=ye", "uniqueId": "734b9afd", "date": "Feb 2, 2026", "setlistTitle": "Ye Vagabonds at Johnny Brenda's, Philadelphia, PA, USA", "setlistUrl": "setlist/ye-vagabonds/2026/johnny-brendas-philadelphia-pa-734b9afd.html", "setlistId": "734b9afd", "artistName": "Ye Vagabonds", "artistUrl": "setlists/ye-vagabonds-1bf69180.html", "venueName": "Johnny Brenda's, Philadelphia, PA, USA", "venueUrl": "venue/johnny-brendas-philadelphia-pa-usa-7bd6da88.html", "setTimes": "", "songs": ["Blue is the Eye", "On Sitric Road", "The Flood", "Cuckoo Storm", "Tuaim", "Four Walls", "Young Again", "Long Grass"], "setSummaryText": "Blue is the Eye On Sitric Road The Flood Cuckoo Storm Tuaim Four Walls Young Again Long Grass", "scrapedAt": "2026-02-06T10:30:01.000Z" }, ... ] ```` ### Use Cases - Music research and artist performance history analysis - Concert tour tracking and venue research - Fan community setlist databases - Music journalism and reporting - Historical performance data collection ### Notes - Results are automatically paginated until reaching the end or max items limit - Setlists may include partial song lists if not fully documented - Some setlists may not include set times or complete song lists - The actor includes random delays between actions to avoid rate limiting *** **Start discovering setlists on Setlist.fm today!** # Actor input Schema ## `searchUrl` (type: `string`): The complete Setlist.fm search URL to scrape ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of setlists to fetch ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for the actor ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchUrl": "https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=ye", "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # 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. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "searchUrl": "https://www.setlist.fm/search?query=ye", "maxItems": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("powerai/setlist-search-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
