Facebook Events Scraper

Turn a Facebook event link into a clean row of data — date, time, time zone, venue, full street address, host, description and ticket link — and do the same for every upcoming event a Page is hosting. Give it the events you already care about, or name the venues, promoters and organisations you follow and let it pull their upcoming schedule. Built for people who maintain event calendars, listings sites, venue databases and local guides, and who are tired of copying dates by hand.

No Facebook account, no login and no personal details are involved. Paste links, press start.

What you can do with it

• Keep a venue or festival calendar current. Name the Pages of the venues and promoters you cover and collect their upcoming events every morning.
• Fill a listings site or newsletter. Every row already has the date, the address, the host and the ticket link, so it drops straight into a template.
• Watch competitors and partners. See what a rival venue, brand or conference organiser has announced, and when.
• Enrich a list of events you already have. Feed in links you collected elsewhere and get structured dates and addresses back.
• Spot cancellations and online-only events — both are flagged on every row.
• Feed a map or a location database using the street address exactly as the organiser published it.

What you get

Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
Event links	list of text	empty	Links to the events you want. Both the short form and the long form with the venue and event name in the link are accepted, as is a bare numeric event id.
Pages hosting events	list of text	empty	Facebook Pages whose upcoming events you want. A Page link, an @handle or a numeric id all work.
Maximum events per Page	number (1–50)	20	Upper limit on how many events are taken from each Page. A ceiling, not a target.
Browse from	choice	United States	Which country to browse from.
Parallel work	number (1–8)	4	How many events are collected at the same time. Four is a good balance.

At least one event link or one Page is required.

Output fields

Field	Type	Notes
eventId	text	Facebook's own id for the event.
name	text	The event title.
startsAt	text	Start time in a fixed universal format.
endsAt	text or empty	Empty when the organiser published no finish time.
timezone	text	The time-zone label the event itself displays, such as CDT.
venueName	text	The venue. For an event given only as a street address, this is that address.
address	text	The one-line address as published.
city	text or empty	Only present when the venue is a place with its own Facebook presence.
isOnline	true/false	Whether the event is online-only.
isCancelled	true/false	Whether the organiser has cancelled it.
hostName	text	The host, taken from the organiser or the host list.
hostPageId	text	The host's numeric id.
description	text	The organiser's description.
ticketUrl	text or empty	The external ticket link, when the event sells tickets. Organisers often publish it as an affiliate tracking link that bounces through a redirector; the destination behind it is what you get, so the link points straight at the ticket page.
url	text	The event's page on Facebook.
discoveredVia	text	url when you supplied the link, page when it came from a Page.
sourcePage	text or empty	Which Page it came from, when it came from one.
identityMatchesRequest	true/false or empty	False when a handle you gave resolved to a different profile than you probably meant. True when what you asked for is what came back. Empty when there was nothing to check — you gave a numeric Page id, or the Page did not publish a handle — because no answer is better than a made-up one.
availability	text	OK on every delivered row.
scrapedAt	text	When the row was collected.

An empty field means "the organiser did not publish this", never "this does not exist". The one exception is identityMatchesRequest, where empty means there was nothing to compare.

Pricing

You pay per event delivered — $1.50 per 1,000 events, and nothing else. There is no monthly fee and no charge for a run that finds nothing.

An event that cannot be read publicly is not charged. It is counted in the run summary as unavailable and never appears in your results, so you never pay for an empty row.

Worked example: 40 venue Pages, each with about eight upcoming events, is roughly 320 events, or about $0.48 for the whole sweep. Running that every morning for a month costs around $14.

Limits & what this actor cannot do

• There is no public event search on Facebook, so this actor cannot find events by keyword, city or date. Every event must come from a link you supply or from a Page you name. Any tool that claims to search Facebook's public events by keyword is not doing what it says.
• A Page publishes only a shortlist of its upcoming events publicly — on the venue Pages tested, eight. Past events and a full calendar cannot be collected from a Page.
• Attendance figures are not reported. Facebook does not publish "going" and "interested" counts publicly in a form that can be trusted, and the numbers visible next to an event page often belong to other, suggested events. Reporting them would mean reporting numbers that may not be the event's own.
• Not every event publishes a finish time or a separate city. Those fields arrive empty rather than guessed at.
• Some events are set so their details are only visible to logged-in visitors, and an event that has been withdrawn looks exactly the same. Both are reported as unavailable, never as an empty result and never as "deleted".
• Event details are a snapshot at the moment of collection. Organisers move dates, change venues and cancel.
• Vanity links get reassigned: a handle that once belonged to one brand can now resolve to a different profile, so every row reports which Page it actually came from and flags a mismatch. The flag is only filled in when there is a handle to compare — give a Page as a numeric id and it stays empty rather than pretending to have checked.
• Speed depends on the size of the job and on Facebook's own response times. No fixed throughput is promised.
• Facebook's terms prohibit automated access, and event listings can contain personal data. You are responsible for using what you collect lawfully, in line with Facebook's terms and with applicable privacy law.

FAQ

Do I need a Facebook account? No. Nothing is collected that a logged-out visitor cannot see.

Does it need my login or personal details? No. There is nothing to connect and nothing to authorise.

Can I search for events near me, or by keyword? No, and nor can anything else that reads Facebook publicly — Facebook's public event search returns nothing at all. Name the venues, promoters and organisations you care about instead, and you get their upcoming events.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Schedule it daily against a list of venue Pages and you have a calendar that maintains itself.

Is the data complete? It is complete for what Facebook publishes publicly: dates, venue, address, host, description and ticket link. It is not complete for attendance figures, past events or a Page's full calendar — see the limits above.

Why is endsAt empty on some rows? Because plenty of organisers only publish a start time. An empty finish time is what the event says, not a failure.

Why did an event come back as unavailable? Either it is set so only logged-in visitors can see it, or it has been withdrawn. The two look identical from the outside, so the run reports it honestly as unavailable and does not charge you for it.
