Error items

When the scraper cannot retrieve data for a given URL, it pushes an error item to the dataset instead of silently skipping it. Normal output items are never affected; you can tell them apart by the presence of a non-empty error_code field.

FAQ

What is the difference between this scraper and the Event List URL scraper?

This scraper is designed for when you already have specific event URLs. The Event List URL scraper starts from a venue event list page and automatically discovers all events on that page. Use this scraper when you have a curated list of event links.

Can I scrape events from multiple URLs at once?

Yes. The url field accepts an array of event detail URLs. The scraper will process all URLs concurrently and return one result row per URL.

How fast is the scraper?

The scraper uses concurrent requests (controlled by max_concurrency) to fetch multiple event pages in parallel. With the default setting of 8 concurrent requests, it can process a large batch of URLs efficiently. You can increase max_concurrency up to 20 for faster scraping.

What happens if an event URL is invalid or the event has been deleted?

The scraper returns an error item with a descriptive error message and error_code for that URL, while continuing to process the remaining URLs normally.

Does this scraper work with private events?

No. This scraper can only access publicly available event pages. Private events that require login or special permissions will result in an ACCESS_DENIED error.
