I want to get show information from myspace artists. One way I could do this is ask an artist to input their myspace URL and I could try to scrape the page.

What I would really like to do is ask the artist for their myspace credentials and use the myspace api to get their show data. I cannot find how to do this on the myspace developers site. Does anyone know?

And as a side question, if I decide to go the page scraping route, is that legal? I feel like a lot of people do this.

Try out http://livekick.com . It includes all music concerts posted on myspace.

Found this great article on just that: scraping myspace for tour dates. Haven't tested it but looks good. http://bit.ly/14HWWM
