Event Scraper — Luma Tech, AI & Startup Events by City

Scrape upcoming events from Luma (lu.ma) only: tech, AI, crypto and startup events by city, category or keyword. Dates, venue, ticket price, free/sold-out, spots left, guest count, organiser and description. No login. $1.50 per 1,000 events.

Scrape upcoming events from Luma (lu.ma / luma.com) only: it does not cover Eventbrite, Meetup, Facebook Events or other event sites. Luma is the platform behind most tech, AI, startup and crypto meetups, so this is the event scraper for finding those events as clean structured data. Filter by city (London, New York, San Francisco, Berlin, Singapore and ~90 more), category (tech and AI by default; also crypto, climate, food, arts, running, wellness…), keyword ('hackathon', 'founders') or any latitude/longitude. Each row has the event name, start/end time and timezone, venue and city, online/in-person, ticket price, free or paid, sold-out status, spots remaining, approval required, guest count, organiser and link, plus the full description and category tags (on by default). No login or cookies. Use it for event-lead prospecting, developer-relations and community outreach, sponsorship research, event newsletters and local-scene calendars, or as an events tool for AI agents. Built for privacy: individual hosts and guests are never returned (counts only), and hidden addresses stay hidden. $1.50 per 1,000 events.

What data does it return?

Every run outputs clean, schema-validated rows like these:

name	startAt	city	isFree	priceMin	guestCount	url
AI For NYC Hackathon	2026-10-19T22:30:00.000Z	Queens	true		64	https://luma.com/3jtm4813
The Human Edge: A Founders Salon for the Age of AI	2026-10-20T14:00:00.000Z	New York	false	25	10	https://luma.com/d0sflqei
GTM Intelligence: AI Night with Ramp + MeritFirst	2026-10-20T21:30:00.000Z	New York	true		0	https://luma.com/ramp-meritfirst-gtm-ai

How much does it cost?

Transparent pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you get, and the actor always respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and it stops cleanly at the cap instead of overrunning.

Event	Price	Charged	Worked example
event-result	$0.0015	per event delivered (description and categories included at no extra cost)	100 events = $0.15; 1,000 events = $1.50
apify-actor-start	$0.00005	per run per GB of memory (platform start fee)	One run at up to 1 GB = $0.00005 (charged as one event)

Input options

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
cities	array	no	[]	Luma discover cities, e.g. 'London', 'New York', 'San Francisco', 'Berlin', 'Singapore' (~90 supported; unknown names are listed in the log). For anywhere else use latitude/longitude.
categories	array	no	["tech","ai"]	Luma categories: ai, tech, crypto, climate, food, arts, books, games, family, fitness, wellness, running. Default: tech and ai. Clear the list for all categories.
searchQuery	string	no	—	Search event names, e.g. 'hackathon', 'founders', 'web3'. Without a city or coordinates, Luma decides the area (often near the server), so add a city for predictable results.
latitude	number	no	—	Search near a point instead of (or as well as) a named city. Use with longitude.
longitude	number	no	—	Use with latitude.
freeOnly	boolean	no	false	Skip paid events. Skipped events are not charged.
maxEvents	integer	no	200	Stop after this many events (across all cities and categories).
includeDetails	boolean	no	true	Fetch each event's page for its full description and category tags. On by default; turn off for faster runs (one request less per event). Same price either way.

Limits & honest notes

• Luma only. Events on Eventbrite, Meetup, Facebook or other platforms are not included unless they are also listed on Luma.
• Returns upcoming public events that appear in Luma's discover feeds. Private, invite-only and unlisted events are not included.
• City names must be Luma discover cities (~90 worldwide); the run log shows examples of valid names. Anywhere else, use latitude/longitude.
• Without a city or coordinates, Luma picks events near the server's location, so set a location unless you're running a keyword search.
• Host and guest identities are never returned, only counts. Organiser names come only from organisation calendars, never personal ones. Exact addresses and coordinates are omitted when the organiser hides them.
• Ticket price is the cheapest and most expensive public ticket in major currency units (e.g. 25 = $25.00). Flexible 'pay what you want' tickets report their minimum.
• Duplicate events across cities and categories are removed and never charged twice. Events skipped by the free-only filter are not charged.
• Respects your run budget: set a maximum total charge and the actor stops cleanly at the cap.
