Myspace Gigs Parser

Home Tutorials: Getting Started · Caching · RSS · Live Demo · Code

UPDATE 5/28/2010: Myspace recently switched to an "events" system and Dave and I are working hard to getting the parser updated. Follow us on Twitter (myspacegigs) for updates.

Thousands of bands, musicians, DJs and comedians maintain their concert calendars through their Myspace pages. Unfortunately, Myspace has never offered any form an an API to get access at any of their data. So, that makes people like me come up with creative ways to pull and parse publicly available Myspace pages in order to populate our sites.

Therefore, I have come up with a simple utilitarian PHP class to pull and parse someone's Myspace page. The Myspace Gigs Parser is simple to use, all you need is the simple Myspace URL for the band or comedian you wish to parse, e.g. http://www.myspace.com/bobsaget. You pass the URL to the class and out comes an array of all the Upcoming Gigs.

In the Press

Bob Saget A&E is putting Bob behind the reigns of a comedy documentary series which is about Bob joining a different culture/lifestyle every week. Casting calls have started for a "motorcycle club" traveling to the Daytona Beach Bike Week and the article drops episode ideas like traveling to Burning Man and living with a survivalist cult.
Bure Family Wines of Napa California Candace Cameron-Bure and her husband, NHL'er Valeri Bure, have started a winery. They currently only offer two wines, a Nuit Blanche and a Majesy Blend, which you can purchase right off their website. I don't know anything about wines but I do know that Family Crests are bad ass and I should work on a DCSHB.com Family Crest.
John Stamos hosts the Roast of Bob Saget The Roast of Bob Saget finally aired and boy was it great. Stamos hosted and was pretty funny but I'd have to say my favorites were Cloris Leachman and Gilbert Gottfried. I now know how to make an "asshurts" which is something I've always wanted to know how to do. Norm MacDonalad and Brian Posehn were a little awkard and Jon Lovitz just called him gay for five minutes. Overall, it was worth every minute of my life.

John Stamos was returning on a flight from Chicago when another first class passenger attempted to strike up a conversation with him while he slept. Police were called but no files were charged. This story was first broke by KNBC out of LA but the E-Online story was the best in my opinion, especially with the following quote...

"which, if she'd ever paid attention to Michelle Tanner's attempts to do the same thing on Full House, she'd know Uncle Jesse wouldn't appreciate."

I love entertainment news. — Read More...

BuddyTV has been running some great What Are They Up To? articles and have recently ran one about Dave. In the article comments sillyd casually reminds us that Dave coined "cut it out" on the short lived Out Of Control.

The same day they ran Dave's story they conveniently ran a What Are They Up To? on Full House cast member Candace Cameron-Bure who is looking as fabulous as ever in this picture stolen from her website. — Read More...
