Welcome to concert data heaven!

We offer lots of ways for creative developers and bloggers to access grüvr's concert geodata and create new ways to integrate live music maps and concert schedules into your sites. This page has an brief list of what's available. What's new is a simple query API that lets you invoke a band's current tour map by simply whacking together a URL. We offer a couple of widgets to display links to concert maps: one location-based, and one band-based. Grvr also provides GeoRSS feeds organized by location.

New! GeoRSS feeds

We've created a new page that lists TONS of local upcoming-concert feeds.

These can be used by anyone who wants to create a handy list of concert maps
for the area blog about. We tried to make it super-simple to use - just go to the page
and find the location you want. All feeds are geo-RSS encoded; the data
is publically accessible on myspace band profiles; none requires any
membership or login to access but we provide link-back attribution anyway.
You'd be lost without us, right?

Query API

This is the simplest but possibly the most powerful tool we've released yet.
With a simple link, you can get to the live tour map of most any touring band.
  If there are no upcoming shows, it's handled gracefully.

Here's an example mp3 search from our friends at Skreemr.com

Here's an example map query URL for Alanis Morissette .

http://gruvr.com/?bandkey=alanis%20morissette

That's it! Of course you'd want to link it nicely, like this:

Click here for Alanis Morissette tour map and radar alerts

Or you can use this nifty little button:

Here's how gruvr interprets an incoming query:

• If any band matching the input name is playing near the viewer, they will be shown the map of local concerts by the matching band(s). Users may click any to bookmark and set a reminder for that concert.

• If no local shows are found for this band, but we find their concert schedule, grüvr displays the current tour map and schedule for the band.

• If no match is found for the band name, grüvr displays the map of upcoming concerts local to the user.

Local concerts widget

Detects your location and whips up an RSS feed of upcoming shows near you. This is wrapped in a grazr feed widget for easy customization and installation on any page that supports javascript widgets. You can also use a Springbox or other RSS widget.

See the local widget page

Tour map widget

Puts a 'living' map of your favorite band's shows on your page. Flash-based, and it even works on myspace.

See the band widget page for details.
