Facebook Events Scraper
Pricing
from $1.40 / 1,000 results
Collect public Facebook events by keyword and city, or straight from a page's events tab: name, date, venue address, online or in-person, ticket price line, host and attendance. Facebook's event search is the one search vertical still open to logged-out clients, and this actor uses it.
