The Problem
An r/AnnArbor post hit 110 upvotes by aggregating events from many scattered sites. Most cities have no canonical events feed; Eventbrite/Meetup miss venue-direct calendars and community spaces.
How Scavio Helps
- Curated 5-15 source list per city
- Scavio site-search across venue domains
- Reddit signal surfaces community events the venue calendars miss
- Per-month <$50 in API at indie scale
- Clean public list, no login required

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "Per city: site:venue1.com events 2026-05 + site:venue2.com... + reddit r/CityName 'this weekend' → normalize to JSON {title, datetime, venue, url, category}":
import requests
API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={
"x-api-key": API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={"query": query},
)
data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
print(f" {result['link']}\n")Built for Indie builders, local newsletter operators, college-town students, local guides shipping vertical aggregators
Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your local event aggregator side project solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
