How much does scraping Facebook events cost?

Scraping Facebook events costs $13.00 for every 1,000 events, or $0.013 per event. If you're on Apify Free plan, you will be able to scrape up to ~2,000 events before needing to upgrade.

For more frequent or extensive Facebook events scraping, consider upgrading to the $29/month Starter plan, where the price drops to $10.00 per 1,000 events and can get you up to ~2,900 events per month from the included credits. For scalable scraping, check out the $199/month Scale plan (from $8.50 per 1,000 events, ~23,400 events/month) or the $999/month Business plan (from $7.00 per 1,000 events, ~142,800 events/month).

How to use Facebook Events Scraper?

Facebook Events Scraper is easy to use, even if you've never extracted data from the web before:

1. Create a free Apify account.
2. Go to Facebook Events Scraper.
3. In the Input tab, add at least one of the following: search query or event URL.
4. (Optional) Set the maximum number of events to return.
5. Click Start and wait for the scraper to finish extracting data.
6. Download the results as JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, HTML table, CSV, or Excel.

⬇️ Input

Facebook Events Scraper supports the following types of input:

🔎 Search query. Use search queries, for example comedy, to explore pretty much unlimited number of events. You can combine multiple key words in a single query, for example comedy Chicago, or separate them.

Note that the maxEvents variable applies per search query. If you set maxEvents to 100 and use 3 search queries, the scraper will extract up to 300 results.

🎯 Search query + Facebook filters. Combine search queries with Facebook's search filters. When searching for events directly on Facebook, you can filter the results by various criteria, such as paid-only events, online events, specific date ranges, and more. Configure the filters on Facebook's search page, copy the resulting URL, and paste it to the startUrls input field. For example:

• https://www.facebook.com/events/search?q=Comedy&sde=AbrQ9KopLfqYT7heXVVCxznkZYxRr9hU1JA4cdLbJhjgs56yyeHW3e833A9

Then, to narrow down the results even more, add search queries to the searchQueries input field.

Note that filtering events on Facebook returns different URLs depending on whether you're logged in or not. This scraper supports only the URLs for users who are not logged in.

🔗 Event URL. Provide URLs of specific events and the scraper will extract all the available information for each of them. For example:

• https://www.facebook.com/events/1023978871819924
• https://www.facebook.com/events/search/?q=Party
• https://www.facebook.com/events/explore/fr-paris/110774245616525

For pages, use the following URL patterns:

• https://www.facebook.com/PAGE_NAME/upcoming_hosted_events
• https://www.facebook.com/PAGE_NAME/past_hosted_events

Note that the pattern https://www.facebook.com/PAGENAME/events is for logged Facebook users and doesn't work with this scraper.

For groups, use the following URL pattern for scraping both upcoming and past events:

• https://www.facebook.com/groups/GROUP_NAME/events

Note that pages and groups rarely host a lot of events. Facebook Events Scraper will return only recent events that regular Facebook users can see without scrolling. To make sure you don't miss any events, run the scraper on a schedule.

For detailed explanation of the input example in JSON, go to the Input tab.

⬆️ Output sample

The results are wrapped into a dataset. You can find it in the Output tab.

Here's an example output generated for the comedy search query:

Note that the output is not sorted chronologically.

❓ FAQ

Are there other social media scrapers?

Apify offers many scrapers for extracting data from social media, such as:

• Instagram Scraper
• Twitter Scraper
• TikTok Scraper
• Reddit Scraper

For even more scrapers, browse the Social media category in Apify Store.

Can I export Facebook Events data using API?

You can access the extracted Facebook data through the Apify API. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify actors. You can also programmatically access datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch results, and more.

To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package.

For details, see the Apify API docs.

Does Facebook Events Scraper integrate with other services?

You can connect Facebook Events Scraper with almost any cloud service or web app. For example, you can integrate with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and more.

You can also use webhooks to perform an action whenever an event occurs, for example, to get a notification once Facebook Events Scraper successfully finishes a run.

Do I need to be logged in to Facebook to scrape events?

You don't need to be logged in or provide credentials because anyone can browse public events listed on Facebook. Facebook's recommendations on events depend on your location and other criteria.

Do I need proxies to scrape Facebook Events?

In general, yes, you need proxies. However, you don't have to apply them yourself if you run the scraper on the Apify platform. For successful Facebook events scraping, Apify runs residential proxies in the background. These proxies are included in the monthly Starter plan.

Not your cup of tea? Build your own scraper!

Facebook Events Scraper doesn’t exactly do what you need? You can always build your own! To get you started, Apify offers various scraper templates in Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript. You can also write a scraper from scratch using our open-source library Crawlee.

If you don't want to keep the scraper to yourself, make it public by adding it to Apify Store. See our blog post on how to make passive income by developing Actors.

If you need a custom scraping solution, contact us.

Is it legal to scrape Facebook Events data?

Apify's Facebook scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly.

However, you should be aware that the results that you get might contain personal data. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

See also our blog posts on the legality of web scraping and ethical scraping.
