Aggregate developer conferences, meetups, and CFP deadlines into a dated event calendar

Search technical topics and return a chronological calendar of public developer conferences, local meetups, and Call for Papers (CFP) listings: event title and link, dates, city/country plus an online flag, CFP URL and deadline, topic tags, and source attribution. This is the events-calendar Actor, not exhibitor booth extraction and not Google News headline discovery.

Developer conferences and CFP deadlines, not exhibitor pages or news headlines

Use this page when the job is a speaking, sponsorship, or attendance calendar built from topic search. Use Google News Scraper when the job is query-based Google News RSS headlines and article URLs. Trade Show Exhibitor Intelligence is a separate Store Actor for public exhibitor pages (company, booth, category, country/region, URLs, social links). This site does not publish an exhibitor landing; that Actor is not this calendar.

This Actor Trade Show Exhibitor Intelligence Google News Scraper
Intent Developer conference, meetup, and CFP deadline calendar Company/booth fields from public exhibitor pages Headlines and article URLs from Google News RSS
Primary input Required topics; optional year Direct-source exhibitor or event page URLs (separate Store Actor) Required queries (maximum 50)
What it reads Public conference, meetup, and CFP listings (schema: aggregate from confs.tech by topic) Public event and exhibitor pages Google News RSS for those queries
Deliverable Deduplicated dated event records with CFP URL/deadline when present Exhibitor company, booth, category, country/region, URLs, social links Headline, article URL, publisher, timestamps, snippet
Not this job Exhibitor booth directories; news headlines Developer CFP calendars from topic search Conference dates and CFP submission deadlines

The live schema description is: Aggregate tech conferences from confs.tech. Search by topic (JavaScript, Python, AI, etc). Get dates, locations, and CFP deadlines. README Key Features add multi-topic search across JavaScript, Python, AI, DevOps, and 20+ topics; merge events that appear in multiple topics; global coverage including online events; CFP URLs and deadlines; sorted-by-date output; and topic tagging on each event.

Use cases

The published README summary also lists building a technology event calendar filtered by topics, region, and dates; tracking public submission deadlines for reminder alerts; and monitoring ecosystem events for community and developer-relations planning. Live input has topics and year; it does not publish a region field.

How is Tech Events & CFP Calendar Scraper different from Trade Show Exhibitor Intelligence and Google News Scraper?

This Actor aggregates public conference, meetup, and call-for-papers (CFP) listings into a deduplicated, structured event calendar. Required input is topics. The live schema description is: Aggregate tech conferences from confs.tech. Search by topic (JavaScript, Python, AI, etc). Get dates, locations, and CFP deadlines. Trade Show Exhibitor Intelligence is a separate Store Actor for exhibitor pages: company names, categories, countries/regions, URLs, social links, and booth information from public event and exhibitor pages using direct-source URLs. That is booth and company extraction, not a developer speaking calendar. Google News Scraper queries Google News RSS for headlines, article URLs, publishers, and snippets. It does not return conference dates or CFP deadlines. Use this Actor for developer conferences, meetups, and CFP deadline tracking.

What input is required?

topics is required: topics to search for (for example ['javascript','ai','devops']). Schema editor is stringList. Schema prefill is javascript, python, ai. Optional live schema fields are year (integer, default 2026), delivery (dataset or webhook, default dataset), webhookUrl (used when delivery is webhook; Slack, Discord, or any HTTP endpoint), and dryRun (boolean, default false). additionalProperties is false. The published input schema does not include sources, urls, deadlineWithinDays, emitDeadlineAlerts, or a region filter. The README opening line mentions topics, regions, and date filters; live date control is year only.

Field Type Default Notes
topics array required (prefill javascript, python, ai) Topics to search for. Schema has no published min/max or items type.
year integer 2026 Year to search for events
delivery string dataset dataset or webhook
webhookUrl string — Used when delivery is webhook. Slack, Discord, or any HTTP endpoint.
dryRun boolean false Run without saving results or sending webhooks

The schema sets additionalProperties to false. The published input schema does not include sources, urls, deadlineWithinDays, emitDeadlineAlerts, or a region filter. The README opening line mentions topics, regions, and date filters; live date control is year only.

Published README Input Example (matches the schema):

{
  "topics": ["javascript", "python", "ai"],
  "year": 2026
}

Published Store example run input:

{
  "topics": [
    "javascript"
  ],
  "year": 2026,
  "delivery": "dataset",
  "dryRun": false
}

Which README input examples are not live schema fields?

README examples labeled Single platform, Multi-platform monitor, and Specific conference URLs send sources (for example papercall.io, sessionize.com), deadlineWithinDays, urls, and emitDeadlineAlerts. Those names are not in the live input schema. additionalProperties is false, so do not send them. The schema-valid README Input Example is topics plus year. The published Store example run input is topics, year, delivery, and dryRun.

What does a result row contain?

The published README output table lists meta, results, and per-event fields results[].name, url, startDate, endDate, city, country, online, cfpUrl, cfpEndDate, twitter, topics, and source. The published README sample is a single event object (PyCon US 2026) with name, url, startDate, endDate, city, country, online, cfpUrl, cfpEndDate, topics, and source (confs.tech). twitter is in the field table and not shown on that sample. The sample is a README illustration, not a live coverage guarantee.

Published README output example:

{
  "name": "PyCon US 2026",
  "url": "https://us.pycon.org/2026/",
  "startDate": "2026-05-15",
  "endDate": "2026-05-23",
  "city": "Long Beach",
  "country": "US",
  "online": false,
  "cfpUrl": "https://us.pycon.org/2026/speaking/",
  "cfpEndDate": "2025-12-18",
  "topics": ["python"],
  "source": "confs.tech"
}

README Key Features: events appearing in multiple topics are merged; listings are sorted by date; each event is tagged with all relevant topics. There is no separate published dataset/output JSON schema on the Store page beyond that README table and sample.

How do dataset, webhook, and dry-run delivery work?

delivery defaults to dataset (saves to Apify Dataset; recommended). Set delivery to webhook and provide webhookUrl to send results to a URL. webhookUrl works with Slack, Discord, or any HTTP endpoint. dryRun true runs without saving results or sending webhooks, for testing. Store Quickstart: start with store-input.example.json for a cheap single-topic first run; then store-input.templates.json with Quickstart (Dataset) for one-topic discovery, Multi-topic Scan for a broader calendar build, or Webhook Alert for downstream event routing.

How is Tech Events & CFP Calendar Scraper priced?

Billing is pay per event. The published Store card is from $4.00 per 1,000 results. Live Store events are Actor Start at $0.001 (charged when the Actor starts; number of events depends on Actor memory, one event per GB, minimum one event) and result at $0.004 (single result in the default dataset). Platform usage is listed as included on the pricing page. The README Cost section still quotes actor-start $0.01 plus dataset-item $0.003 ($3.01 for 1,000 items); live Store billing currently uses the $4.00 / 1,000 card and the $0.001 / $0.004 events.

From $4.00 per 1,000 results ($0.004 per default-dataset result; Actor Start $0.001)
