Dakota Jazz Calendar

Dakota Jazz Calendar collects upcoming performances from the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis and turns the venue’s event pages into a structured table. Each row includes the event date, showtimes, performer, genre, a short description, and the original source URL.

The Python command-line application can run across a selected month range in dry-run mode or write directly to MySQL. A unique key built from the event date, time, and performer makes repeated runs idempotent.

The scraper runs daily through cron, retains job logs, and supplies the concert calendar shown in the Analytics Hub.
