Use cases

Argos is for products that need data from many websites that offer no API. Two products run on it today; the others are shown by the labs.

Event listings for a city guide

The problem: A city has hundreds of venues, promoters and ticketing sites, each with its own website and none with a shared feed.
With Argos: The events domain merges them into one list per city, in one schema: title, date, venue, price, tickets.

/apollon/music/eventsOpen Events

Example

The problem: Knowing when an artist plays nearby means watching every venue and ticketing site.
With Argos: The same events domain, read by artist and by place, with track and artist lookups across streaming platforms.

/apollon/music/trackOpen Song Link Hub

Example

The problem: Friends in Toulouse, Paris and Madrid want a weekend together; every airline site searches from one airport at a time.
With Argos: The world domain reads low-cost airline fares and pairs them by city and shared nights. A city one of them lives in counts.

/apollon/world/flights/groupOpen Meet Up

Example

The problem: Communication teams and newsrooms need to know when a keyword shows up in regional media.
With Argos: The news domain reads local and national outlets and returns articles in full, ready for keyword alerts.

Example

The problem: Bike-share, car-share and parking operators each publish their own live feed in their own format.
With Argos: One call returns what operators publish around a point: bikes and free stands, shared cars with their fuel, parkings with free spaces, refreshed within the hour.

/apollon/world/transportationOpen Transit Map

Example

The problem: Pass prices and discounts are spread across resort sites and resellers.
With Argos: The ski domain lists French resorts with slopes by colour, one-day prices and the discounts resellers publish.

/apollon/ski/resortsOpen Mountain Radar

If the data is public and on the web, Argos can probably read it. Tell us the sites and what you need from them.
