Leads for shows, bands, and venues found on social platforms and the web. Nothing goes on the calendar until you accept it here.

← Admin
Ticketmaster (watched venues)Searching

Pulls the calendar of every venue marked "Watch on Ticketmaster" in Admin → Venues — Garcia's at the Cap, Brooklyn Bowl, the Fillmore. Free key, issued instantly at developer.ticketmaster.com; set TICKETMASTER_API_KEY.

Ticketmaster (per band)Searching

Every roster band's own Ticketmaster calendar, each scan — the way JRAD, Dark Star Orchestra, and Melvin Seals publish their tours. Same key as the venue feed. A band's id is found by exact name and can be pinned or set to "unlisted" in Admin → Bands.

SeatGeek (per band)Needs key

Every roster band's SeatGeek calendar, each scan. SeatGeek aggregates AXS, Etix, Eventbrite, and box-office rooms Ticketmaster misses. Free client id from seatgeek.com/account/develop; set SEATGEEK_CLIENT_ID. A band's performer slug is found by exact name and can be pinned or set to "unlisted" in Admin → Bands.

Compass Rose directorySearching

gratefuldeadtributebands.com — a volunteer directory of Dead tribute bands by state with their posted dates. Every state is read each scan. Roster bands have their dates booked; an act the site does not know arrives as a single lead naming its dates and the rooms it plays.

The Local Music FinderSearching

thelocalmusicfinder.com's Grateful Dead tributes page — northern and central New Jersey, the Shore, and Rockland County. Read each scan; roster bands are booked, unknown bands arrive as leads.

Calendar finderSearching

Looks for the calendar page on the site of each venue that has one but no calendar yet, busiest rooms first, and keeps the URL only once its events actually parse. That is how a room starts naming the bands playing it. No key; a handful of venues are checked per scan, so the backlog drains over a few runs.

Venue calendar pagesSearching

Reads schema.org Event data from each venue's own calendar page (the Calendar page field in Admin → Venues). No key. Catches bands the site does not track yet — they arrive as leads.

Bandsintown (per band)Needs key

Every roster band's Bandsintown calendar, each scan. Apply for a free app id at artists.bandsintown.com/support/api and set BANDSINTOWN_APP_ID.

Band tour pagesSearching

Reads each band's tour page (the Tour link on its profile): schema.org Event data, a WordPress tour-dates table, or the page's Bandsintown widget. No key.

RedditNeeds key

Create a free "script" app at reddit.com/prefs/apps and set REDDIT_CLIENT_ID and REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET.

YouTubeNeeds key

Enable the YouTube Data API v3 in Google Cloud Console and set YOUTUBE_API_KEY. Free quota covers several scans a day.

XNeeds key

Set X_BEARER_TOKEN from an X developer account. Recent search needs a paid tier.
