How much does it cost to scrape Facebook events?

Facebook Event Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay for each event saved to the main table. Platform usage is billed in addition. The prices below come from the live Apify pricing for this Actor.

🥉 Bronze	$0.0045	$4.50
🥈 Silver	$0.004	$4.00
🥇 Gold	$0.0035	$3.50

A run also pays one start event of $0.00005 per GB of memory, minimum one. This Actor runs with 1 GB (1024 MB) of memory by default, so the start event is 1 event = $0.00005. Organizers, related events and inputs tables, failed events and skipped events are not charged as results.

Worked example: 200 events on the Silver plan cost 200 x $0.004 = $0.80 for results, plus the $0.00005 start event, plus platform usage.

You can try Facebook Event Scraper on the Free plan, where each event costs $0.005 ($5.00 per 1,000 events). Higher plans pay less per event, down to $3.50 per 1,000 on Gold. Set a maximum cost per run to cap spending.

Notes and limitations

• Only public events are returned. Private, deleted or age-restricted events are skipped; the reason appears in the run log, and for single event links also in the Inputs table.
• Date range and category filters do not apply to single event links.
• For a page or group link, only the events on its first page can be collected. Use search queries to find more.
• Some keywords return no public events. Try a more specific query.
• If the site asks the Actor to slow down, it pauses and may return fewer events than requested.
• Going and interested counts can be missing for some events, and the interested count can be rounded (usersInterestedIsApproximate).
• Results can differ from what you see when logged in to Facebook.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Facebook events?

Facebook Event Scraper collects only publicly visible event data. You are responsible for complying with applicable laws and the site's terms, and personal data such as organizer names may fall under GDPR or CCPA. Read Is web scraping legal?. This is not legal advice.

How to scrape Facebook events step by step?

Add search queries or links, set Maximum events, and optionally a date range and category. Start the run, then export the Dataset. Each event row has its date, place, attendance, tickets and organizers. The section above, How do I use Facebook Event Scraper, lists every step, so you can follow it from the first click.

Do I need a Facebook account or cookies?

No. Facebook Event Scraper works without a Facebook account, login or cookies, so you can scrape Facebook events without login. It reads only what a visitor can see, which means private events and anything behind a login are not available. You do not need an API key from Facebook either.

How many events can I get per run?

Set Maximum events to the number you need, or 0 to collect every event that can be found. Each event is saved as soon as it is read, so partial results are available during the run. The number you actually get depends on how many matching public events exist for your queries and links.

How do I export Facebook events to CSV or Excel?

Open the Dataset tab of your run, choose a view such as Overview or Schedule, and pick CSV, Excel, JSON, XML or HTML. You can also download the same data through the Apify API. Organizers, related events and inputs have their own tables, so you can export each one on its own.

Can I schedule runs or use webhooks and integrations?

Yes. Use Apify schedules for scheduled runs of Facebook Event Scraper, daily or weekly, and add webhooks to start other tools when a run finishes. Results can flow to spreadsheets, databases and automation platforms through Apify integrations. This is useful for event monitoring where you compare new events against earlier runs.

Can I use Facebook Event Scraper through the API or MCP?

Yes. You can start runs and fetch results with the Apify API and clients, and connect the Actor to AI tools through the Apify MCP server. This makes it a practical facebook events scraper and Facebook events API alternative for your own apps. See the Apify API documentation for the details.

Why am I getting fewer events than expected?

Common reasons are filters that are too narrow, queries with few public events, private or deleted events, and pauses when the site asks the Actor to slow down. Page and group links give only their first page of events. Check the Inputs table for each input status and the run log for skipped events, then widen the filters.

Facebook Event Scraper not working?

Open the Inputs table and the run log first: each input shows a status, and failed inputs show a reason. If an input shows no events, try a more specific query, a wider date range or a different link. If the problem continues, open a ticket in the Issues tab with your run link.
