SXSW api
I'm working on a site to make it easier to discover good music at SXSW:
http://gigsounder.com
Unfortunately, despite being a bit of the darling of the tech scene SXSW does not have an API I can plug into for schedule info. Has anyone figured out a smart way of getting SXSW schedule info programatically?
Also, any general feedback on my site will be much appreciated.
Thanks
- jonalmeida 13y agoJust write a parser that iterates through all the pages and pulls off all the table elements. // because of March 7th is the first day we start from there for (i = 7; i < end_date; i++) { page_contents = scrape_page("http://schedule.sxsw.com/?day=" + i) //second iteration for getting all the DOM elements on the page in the schedule } Did I miss something else in your question?
- etewiah 13y agoHello jonalmeida - thanks for the quick reply. That's pretty much what I'm doing now. Problem is that a lot of the specific dates and locations haven't been confirmed so I'm going to have to keep re-crawling to see if something has changed. I can't believe there isn't a better solution.
