Shen Yun Tour Schedule & Venue Scraper

Extract the complete global Shen Yun performing arts tour schedule from shenyun.com. Returns structured venue data for every current-season tour stop worldwide: venue name, city, country, show dates, ticket prices, availability status, and the raw schema.org/Event JSON-LD for downstream processing.

What it does

Shen Yun Performing Arts runs one of the world's largest touring productions — 8 simultaneous companies visiting 150–250+ venues across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia each season. This actor:

1. Fetches the master venue listing from shenyun.com (all current-season stops, ~177 cities)
2. Visits each venue's detail page and extracts the structured schema.org/Event data
3. Returns one record per venue with full location, date, pricing, and ticket link

Every event comes back as a clean, structured record — date, venue, city and ticket link.
