Luma Events Scraper — Events, Organizers & Social Handles

What does Luma Events Scraper do?

Luma Events Scraper lets you scrape Luma events data at scale from luma.com (formerly lu.ma) — the fastest-growing platform for tech, AI, crypto, and startup events. Extract 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 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.

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.

How to scrape Luma events data

1. Open the Input tab and enter one or more cities (nyc, sf, london, dubai…), calendar URLs, or direct event URLs.
2. Optionally set a category (ai, crypto, fitness…), keyword, or date range.
3. Keep Fetch full event details enabled to get descriptions and host social handles.
4. Click Start and download your results from the Dataset tab as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML.
5. Optional: set a schedule (e.g. weekly) to keep your event database fresh automatically.
