Seattle Events Collector

September 28, 2026 • Project

A pipeline that pulls events from 50+ Seattle venues, ticketing APIs and calendar feeds, merges the duplicates, and serves one digest as a web UI, RSS and iCal feeds, and personalized email. 63 commits from May to September 2026, over 4,700 lines of Python outside the scrapers. Architecture Scraping layer. Static HTML (BeautifulSoup, 35+ sites), JSON APIs (Ticketmaster, Bandsintown, ESPN, Luma, Eventbrite), JavaScript-heavy sites via Playwright, and iCal feeds. Every scraper returns the same Event model.

50+ Event Sources, One Digest, and a 226s to 44s Speedup

Python Async Scraping Architecture

Written up in October 2026. Dates are when I actually built it. Finding out what’s happening in Seattle means checking about fifty websites. I got tired of that and built a thing to do it for me: Seattle Events Collector. It’s over 4,700 lines of Python before you count the scrapers themselves, and most of the interesting part is figuring out that four websites listing the same show are talking about one show.
