The Myspace Gig Scraper
The Myspace Gig Scraper is a new tool to publish your Myspace gig listings on your website.
I’ve been struggling for quite a while with the problem of synchronising gig listings between websites, and Myspace has always been a sticking point – they don’t provide any easy way of getting the listings in or out of their system.
So I’ve created a small set of scripts that scrapes your Myspace gig listings and displays them on your site (you can see it working on the Little Fish site). You still have to input the gigs on Myspace, but at least you don’t have to duplicate your efforts.
The Myspace Gig Scraper is hosted on GitHub, which means that other muso-geeks can take it and improve it. It’s free for anyone to install on their server and tinker with, but you’ll need a little bit of technical knowledge to get it up and running. I’m hoping to make it easier in the future.

I’m enjoying your Trubadork album thanks to your “appearance” on This Reality Podcast (Brennig Jones.) I’ve purchased and downloaded your album and have been promoting it to the readers of my blog. At least one of them has done same.
Keep up the good fight! You are very talented and your music is a treat to the ears! bless
