Event(brite) Summarizer

Tool for summarizing Eventbrite events for inclusion in event calendars. Takes in a URL and a generic prompt, which are fed into a Large Language Model (in this case OpenAI) along with the event scrapes the title, subtitle, and event details.

Originally created for http://sf.funcheap.com

Environment Requirements:

Python 3.10
Environment variables OPENAI_API_KEY and EVENTBRITE_API_KEY, available through the Eventbrite API Page.

Eventbrite-specific notes

The API does not return the event title or subtitle, so we use Beautifulsoup to extract them.

The user-generated event description can be hard to parse from raw HTML, but is served succinctly via the API. The Eventbrite API appears to use utf-8-sig encoding. To handle that encoding, we replace \uffef with a null string.

These inputs (title, subtitle, details) are combined and fed in along with the prompt.
