Events Scraper: Eventbrite, Meetup & Luma — No Login

Get public events from Eventbrite, Meetup and Luma in one clean dataset. Type any city (or Online), add keywords and dates, and get event names, local start times, venues, organizers, prices and links. No login. A run with 20 events costs about $0.06–$0.07.

It is for event marketers, community managers, local media and sales teams who need fresh event lists. A first run with the prefilled form (London, keyword AI, 20 events) takes about 10–20 seconds.

What it does

The Actor searches the public event pages of Eventbrite, Meetup and Luma for your city. It reads several result pages, keeps events that match your keywords, dates and online setting, removes duplicates and saves one row per event.

• Eventbrite: any city in the world, or Online. Up to 25 result pages for each keyword. Prices and organizer names are added for matching events.
• Meetup: any city when you give a country code. One search page for each keyword, usually 20–30 events.
• Luma: about 85 large cities (for example London, New York, Berlin, Austin, São Paulo, Singapore). Other cities are skipped, not failed.

Start times are in the event's local time with the UTC offset (for example 2026-10-26T18:00:00-05:00), plus the time zone name.

Good fit

• Build a weekly list of tech, music or business events in a city.
• Find events to sponsor, speak at or write about.
• Collect organizer names and event links for outreach research.

Not a fit / limits

• It does not log in and does not collect attendee lists, guest emails or host contact details.
• It is not a full archive of a city. Each site shows a limited number of search pages; results change from day to day.
• Some fields are often empty on some sites (for example Meetup prices and venues, or Luma organizers). Empty means "not published", not "free".
• You are responsible for using the data in line with each site's terms and the law in your country.

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab. The form is prefilled with City London, Country code GB, keyword AI and 20 events.
2. Change City if you want. When you change the city, also change Country code (for example Berlin + DE, Austin + US + state TX).
3. Click Start.
4. Open the Output tab and choose the Events view. Click url to open an event.

Expected result: 20 London AI events, each with a title, start time and link, and most with a venue, organizer and price. With only 20 events, most come from Eventbrite; set Maximum events higher to get more Meetup and Luma events too.

Input

Input fields

Field	Plain name	Type	Required	Default / prefill	Allowed values	Effect
location	City	string	no	default London, prefill London	city name in English, or Online	Where to search. Online searches online Eventbrite events only.
countryCode	Country code	string	no	default empty, prefill GB	2 letters, for example US, DE	Needed for Meetup. Also stops Eventbrite from picking a city with the same name in another country.
stateCode	US state code	string	no	empty	2 letters, for example TX	For US cities only. Helps Eventbrite and Meetup find the right city.
keywords	Keywords	string array	no	default [], prefill ["AI"]	0–5 words, up to 60 characters each	An event is kept if any keyword is a whole word in its title, description or category. Empty: all events.
sources	Event sites	string array	no	all three	eventbrite, meetup, luma	Which sites to search.
dateFrom	From date	string	no	empty	YYYY-MM-DD	Keep events that start on or after this date (event local time).
dateTo	To date	string	no	empty	YYYY-MM-DD	Keep events that start on or before this date (event local time).
online	Online or in person	boolean	no	empty	true, false or empty	true: online only. false: in person only. Empty: both. Hybrid events with unknown mode are kept only when empty.
maxItems	Maximum events	integer	no	default 50, prefill 20	1–500	Maximum events in the result across all sites. The run can return fewer.

An API call with empty input {} searches London on all three sites, with no keywords, up to 50 events. Without countryCode Meetup is skipped. Unknown input fields are rejected.

Interacting settings

When	Input A	Input B	Effective behavior
You change the city	location	countryCode	The country code must match the city. A wrong code gives LOCATION_NOT_RESOLVED.
City is Online	location	sources	Only Eventbrite is searched; Meetup and Luma are skipped.
No country code	countryCode	sources	Meetup is skipped with COUNTRY_CODE_REQUIRED; other sites still run.
Several keywords	keywords	maxItems	Eventbrite and Meetup search each keyword; results are mixed and deduplicated.

Input examples

AI events in Berlin next month

{
  "location": "Berlin",

Output entities and surfaces

Situation	Where to look	What you see	What to do
Normal run	Dataset (Events view)	One row per event	Export or open url
No matching events	Dataset empty; RUN_SUMMARY status not_found	0 rows, run succeeded	Use fewer filters or other keywords
One site failed or skipped	RUN_SUMMARY → sources	Run status partial or per-site skipped with a reason	Use the rows you got; check the reason
City not found	Run failed, RUN_SUMMARY reason LOCATION_NOT_RESOLVED or LOCATION_NOT_FOUND	0 rows	Check city spelling and country code

The status message shows a short result, for example complete: 20 events — eventbrite 19 (MAX_ITEMS), meetup 1 (MAX_ITEMS), luma 0 (MAX_ITEMS). MAX_ITEMS means the limit was reached.

Output example

  "fetchedAt": "2026-10-14T15:03:29.735Z"
}

This is one real row from the Austin example (description shortened). null means the site did not publish that value.

Pricing and limits

Pricing unit

The Actor uses pay per event pricing:

• Actor start: $0.006 once per run (256 MB memory).
• Event scraped: one charge per saved event. FREE plan $0.0032, BRONZE $0.00304, SILVER $0.00288, GOLD and higher $0.00272.

A run with no matching events pays only the start fee. A run that fails (wrong input or a city that is not found) also pays the start fee. Events that are not saved are not charged. If you set a maximum cost per run, the Actor stops when it is reached and keeps the saved events (status partial, reason CHARGE_LIMIT).

Cost examples

Scenario	Input scope	Saved events	FREE plan	GOLD plan
No matches	any	0	$0.006	$0.006
First run (prefill)	London, AI, 20 events	20	$0.070	$0.0604
City list	Paris, 2 keywords, 100 events	100	$0.326	$0.278
Large city, all events	Austin, 500 events	500	$1.606	$1.366

Limits

• Up to 500 events per run. A run usually takes 10 seconds to 2 minutes and stops by itself after about 4 minutes.
• Smaller cities and narrow keywords return fewer events. The Actor stops a search when new pages bring no matching events.
• The sites can change their pages or limit requests. A failed site does not stop the other sites.

API, export and integrations

• API: start the Actor with the Apify API or the JavaScript / Python client and read the default dataset.
• Export: download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.
• Scheduling: use Apify schedules to run it every week. Each run is a fresh search; compare source + eventId between runs to find new events.
• No-code: send results to Google Sheets, Slack or Zapier with Apify integrations.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

• MCP server URL with only this Actor: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=cliqtomedia/events-aggregator.
• Smallest useful input: {"location":"London","countryCode":"GB","keywords":["AI"],"maxItems":20}.
• Key output fields: title (event name), startAt (local start time with offset), venue (place), url (event page), source (site).
• A 20-event run takes about 10–20 seconds and costs $0.06–$0.07. Maximum 500 events per run.

Troubleshooting

The dataset is empty

Symptom: run succeeded, status not_found. Likely reason: no event matched all filters. Action: remove dates or the online filter, use fewer or broader keywords, or leave keywords empty.

Wrong city or LOCATION_NOT_RESOLVED

Symptom: the run failed, or one site shows LOCATION_NOT_RESOLVED. Likely reason: the country code does not match the city, or the site found a different city with this name. Action: check the spelling in English and set the right Country code (and US state code for US cities).

A site shows skipped

Symptom: RUN_SUMMARY → sources shows skipped for one site. Likely reason: LOCATION_NOT_SUPPORTED (Luma does not cover this city, or Meetup/Luma with Online) or COUNTRY_CODE_REQUIRED (Meetup without a country code). Action: this is normal; the other sites still give results. Add a country code for Meetup.

Status partial with SOURCE_ERROR

Symptom: some events saved, one site shows error with a reason like SOURCE_RATE_LIMITED or SOURCE_BLOCKED. Likely reason: the site was busy or limited requests. Action: use the saved events, or run again later.

FAQ

Do I need an Eventbrite, Meetup or Luma account?

No. The Actor reads public pages only. It does not need a login, cookies or an API key.

Does it collect personal data?

No attendee lists or guest emails. For Luma, personal hosts are not saved; only a group or calendar name is shown as organizer.

Why do I get fewer events than maxItems?

The sites show a limited number of results for a city and keyword, and some events do not match your filters. maxItems is a limit, not a promise.

Why are some prices empty?

Meetup and Luma often do not publish prices on search pages. Empty means unknown, not free. Check isFree and the event page.

How fresh are the results?

Every run reads the sites live. fetchedAt shows when each event was read.
