Autonomous venue discovery
How KECB reads public venue calendars
Keep ’Em Coming Back discovers and monitors public venue, artist, promoter, ticketing, festival, regional-calendar, and structured-feed sources on its own. Venue owners and teams do not need to claim a page, register a source, submit shows, or maintain a KECB profile.
What the scanners look for
- Public event pages with artist, date, time, venue, and city
- Schema.org Event or MusicEvent structured data
- Public iCalendar / ICS feeds and machine-readable calendar feeds
- Official artist schedules, promoter calendars, ticketing sources, festival schedules, and regional calendars
- Readable dated event text and stable event links
- Public flyers and image-calendar signals that can be corroborated elsewhere
KECB researches from more than one direction
A venue website is only one path. The discovery graph can move from venue to artist, artist to venue, promoter to venue, ticket source to venue, festival to venue, or regional calendar to an unfamiliar room. If one public host is blocked or unavailable, KECB parks that host and looks for an independent public source instead of asking the venue team to repair our record.
Publication still requires evidence
Discovery does not equal publication. Unknown rooms, image-only schedules, weak aggregators, and newly found sources remain private evidence until identity, geography, event details, and freshness are strong enough. Ambiguous information is researched rather than guessed.
No private access is needed
KECB does not need staff logins, private ticketing credentials, administrative links, passwords, unpublished calendars, contracts, or other nonpublic information. The system is designed around public evidence and autonomous verification.
See something factually wrong?
The scanners do the maintenance work. A separate correction channel remains available as a safety valve when a reader notices a factual error; a correction never changes public data automatically.
