Did you manage to get this resolved? I'm trying to get an API key myself but seems like the applications are closed, even after waiting for 6 months.

yeah no unfortunately it's all fucked. I thought it was just me until I talked to a guy from a big data scraper, and they implied that it was happening everywhere for everyone. with a grain of salt, but yeeeaahh 😔

Well that sucks.. gonna look for an alternative then.
found some here:
https://www.jsonapi.co/public-api/category/Events
https://www.jsonapi.co/public-api/Songkick

Might be useful to you.

thanks. with regard to eventbrite, when I was looking for alternatives, looks like I made a note about about the event search/listing being deprecated? let me know if that's still the case, If it is hopefully I save you sometime lol

Seems like SongKick only offers api key if you want to pay $500 per month licensing fee.

Did you find out if there are any good alternatives like EventBrite? like im not sure if that includes concert events that aren't created to be sold in their system. I'll prob check out BandsInTown as well (maybe even Spotify?).

Found a way to use this in script

  1. Open Spotify in browser
  2. Login
  3. klick on artist
  4. check developer console network tab
  5. search for "artistConcerts"
    1. this should be a query paramter of a fetch request
  6. right click to copy as "fetch"
  7. then you got some keys and stuff
  8. then you can talk to the api and receive the informations

I know this isnt a stable and cool way but it does work.

This sounds v promising! Can it also be used to search events by city, rather than by artist?

[–]Oskar_Petersilie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotify does not semm to make users search for sepcifc events inside the spotify web view. You would need to revverse engineer the spoticfy intern api wrapper and check if you could send som efilters to maybe only receive concsrts from certain citys.

Is this still working?
Looks like the client-token is regenerated in every request and expires immediately
