Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Make sure the artist name is spelled correctly and is popular enough to appear in Bandsintown's search suggestions. Try a different artist or a more specific name.

The Actor returns the wrong artist.

Bandsintown's search may suggest a different artist with a similar name. Use a more unique name or check if a competitor supports artist ID for exact matching.

I hit the maxItems limit but want more concerts.

Increase the maxItems input up to 1,000,000. If the artist has more events than that, you may need to run the Actor multiple times with different filters.

The run fails with a timeout.

Try reducing maxItems or running the Actor at a less busy time. If the problem persists, contact Apify support.
