Overview

ParseForge

StubHub Event Scraper

Scrape StubHub event listings, ticket prices, and availability for any performer, team, or venue. Get real-time pricing, seat details, and deal scores from search queries or direct URLs. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

StubHub's ticket marketplace moves fast, and checking prices manually across dozens of events wastes time. This actor reads the public event pages directly, so you can pull current listings for concerts, sports, and theater without building a browser extension. Feed it a performer name like Taylor Swift or a list of event URLs, and it returns every ticket row in one flat dataset.

Who uses it What they scrape StubHub for
Ticket resellers Monitor competitor pricing on the same event to adjust their own listings.
Concert fans Track price drops for a specific artist's upcoming tour dates.
Market analysts Chart average ticket prices by city or performer over a season.
Event promoters Check secondary-market demand for a rival show in the same venue.

What it does

This Actor collects StubHub event listings by search query or direct URL and returns each ticket with its price, section, row, and deal score.

  • ๐Ÿ” Search by query: type an artist, team, or event name and collect up to your max items limit.
  • ๐Ÿ”— Direct URL input: paste performer, grouping, or event page URLs to scrape exactly those listings.
  • โšก Parallel requests: control concurrency to balance speed against rate limits.
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Flat row output: each ticket returns as one row with price, section, row, quantity, and deal score.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

What you can do with StubHub data

๐Ÿ“ˆ Monitor competitor pricing.

A ticket reseller runs the actor daily on a list of event URLs to see how other sellers are pricing the same section and adjusts their own floor.

๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Track a tour's secondary market.

A fan searches for a major artist and collects every upcoming show to watch for price dips in the weeks before the concert.

๐Ÿ“ Compare prices across cities.

An analyst scrapes the same performer in five cities to build a report on regional demand and average ticket cost.

๐Ÿ“Š Feed a pricing dashboard.

A developer schedules the actor to push fresh StubHub listings into a spreadsheet or database every six hours for a live market view.

Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. Upgrade your Apify plan to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

Run it

  2. Open the StubHub Event Scraper.
  3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click Start.
  4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to StubHub through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/stubhub-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your search query matches an active StubHub event. Try a direct event URL instead. Also confirm you have not set 'Maximum events' to zero.

The actor is returning 403 or blocked errors.

StubHub is rate-limiting your requests. Lower the max concurrency to 1 or 2 and try again. If the problem persists, add a longer delay between runs.

Some ticket listings are missing from the output.

StubHub pages load dynamically, and the actor captures what is in the initial HTML. Listings that require heavy JavaScript interaction may not appear. Try a direct event URL to see if coverage improves.

The search returns events I did not expect.

StubHub's search can be broad. Use a more specific query, like the full artist name plus 'tickets', or switch to direct URL input for precise targeting.

My run is taking too long.

Reduce the 'Maximum events' count or increase the max concurrency. Be aware that higher concurrency raises the risk of rate-limiting.

FAQ

Question Answer
Can I scrape StubHub without an API key? Yes. This actor reads the public web pages that StubHub serves to browsers, so no API registration or key is required.
What is the difference between search and URL input? Search mode takes a keyword like an artist name and finds matching events. URL mode lets you paste exact performer, grouping, or event page links to scrape only those listings.
How many events can I scrape in one run? You set the maximum with the 'Maximum events' field. The actor stops after collecting that many events, which helps control your usage.
Does this actor handle StubHub's international sites? It works with the primary stubhub.com domain. If you have a specific international URL, you can try it as a direct input, but the actor is built for the US site.
What data fields does the output include? Each row returns the ticket price, section, row, available quantity, and StubHub's deal score, along with the event name and URL.
Can I filter by price or section? The actor collects all visible listings for the events you target. You can filter the results after export in your spreadsheet or database tool.
Will I get blocked if I run this too fast? StubHub may rate-limit aggressive scraping. Lower the max concurrency setting if you start seeing blocked requests, and the actor will slow down.
Can I schedule this to run automatically? Yes. Once the actor is in your Apify account, you can set a schedule to run it hourly, daily, or on any cron expression.
Does it scrape sold-out events? If StubHub still shows resale listings for a sold-out event, the actor will collect them. It reads whatever tickets are publicly listed on the page.
What export formats are supported? You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify console.
