SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Finding reliable, current information about local events and venues is difficult because event aggregators are JS-heavy, review sites block bots with CAPTCHAs, and cached hours are often wrong. This Skill provides a tested workflow for discovering events, nightlife, and venues while avoiding common scraping pitfalls. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Event Discovery: Find concerts, festivals, and things to do tonight or this weekend via newspaper event pages, Eventbrite city pages, and web search fallbacks. - Venue Research: Locate bars, lounges, and restaurants matching specific criteria using Google Maps as the primary tool, then verify hours, dress codes, and policies on official venue websites. - Niche & Multi-City Search: Run structured parallel queries for interest-specific events (cigar tastings, car shows) across multiple cities or statewide. - Use Case: A user asks "what cigar lounges are good for a date night in Orlando?" The Skill searches Google Maps, cross-references Reddit and local lifestyle sources, verifies details on official sites, and presents options grouped by neighborhood. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to find events happening this weekend in your city or to recommend venues matching a specific vibe in any location.

Frequently Asked Questions about local-discovery

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find local events happening this weekend?

Start with a web search for events in your city, then fall back to extracting the metro newspaper's events page, which publishes reliable weekly roundups. Group results by date with time, location, price, and a short recommendation.

What is the best way to research venues like bars or lounges online?

Use Google Maps as the primary discovery tool since it works even when Google Search serves CAPTCHAs. Then navigate directly to official venue websites to verify hours, dress codes, and age restrictions rather than trusting cached data.

Why does web search fail with a ddgs package error?

The ddgs package is installed in the system Python but the agent runs from a virtual environment that cannot see it. This is a persistent environment path issue, so switch immediately to web extraction or browser navigation instead of retrying.

Can I extract venue listings from Yelp or TripAdvisor?

Yelp and TripAdvisor serve CAPTCHAs to browser sessions, so avoid navigating to them directly. However, web extraction works on TripAdvisor URLs and returns venue lists with ratings and review snippets for regional discovery.

How do I find niche events across multiple cities?

Run parallel structured web searches combining the interest, date, and each city, then extract Eventbrite city-specific category pages. Also check niche vendors' event calendars, which general aggregators often miss.
