Luma Events Scraper: New Event Alerts & Organizer Leads

Luma Events Scraper: New Event Alerts & Organizer Leads (lu.ma)

What does Luma Events Scraper do?

Luma Events Scraper extracts events, hosts and organizer social handles from luma.com (formerly lu.ma), the fastest-growing platform for tech, AI, crypto and startup events. Scrape by city, category, calendar URL or single event URL and get event names, dates, venues with GPS coordinates, ticket prices, guest counts, full descriptions, and the real gold: organizer profiles with Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X (Twitter) and YouTube handles for lead generation and sponsorship outreach.

Because it runs on Apify, you can export data as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, run it on a schedule, call it via the REST API, connect it to integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier), and call it from an AI agent via the Apify MCP server. No Luma account, cookies or browser needed: it is a fast, HTTP-only Luma API alternative.

Get alerted to new events in your city

Turn on Monitor mode and schedule a Luma city or calendar (daily is typical), and the Actor becomes an alert feed for event marketers, sponsors, vendors and community managers.

• The first run saves a baseline and returns nothing. Every later run returns only events not seen before, with the organizers and their Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X and YouTube handles.
• Add a Discord, Slack, Make, Zapier or n8n webhook, or a Telegram bot, and you get one message per run, only when something changed. Each line carries the event name, date, place, organizer and link.
• Only new events get the detail fetch, so a quiet day costs almost nothing.
• Max events is the number of events checked on each run, so set it high enough to cover the city.
• Paid plans only, and off by default. Saved inputs and schedules keep scraping everything exactly as before.

Why scrape Luma events?

• Lead generation: every event lists its hosts with social handles. Build outreach lists of event organizers, community founders, and startup operators in any city.
• Sponsorship targeting: find AI meetups, hackathons, and conferences worth sponsoring before your competitors do.
• Event aggregation: power a local events website, newsletter, or Discord bot with fresh structured event data.
• Market research: measure the tech/AI/crypto meetup scene across cities and track its growth week over week.
• Competitor monitoring: watch specific community calendars and get notified about their new events.

Tips for best results

• Keep fetchEventDetails on, host social handles are only available on detail pages.
• Use category + city (e.g. ai in sf) to target the exact niche you care about.
• Schedule a weekly run with dateFrom set to today to maintain a rolling events database.
• Raise concurrency up to 50 for large runs.
