## Pricing

from $0.0015 / event scraped

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 🎫 Luma Event Scraper — Dates, Venues & Hosts

Turn public **Luma (lu.ma)** event pages into clean, structured data. Browse events by **city** or **topic**, or scrape a list of specific **event URLs** — and get one tidy row per event with the name, date & time, venue, city, host, cover image, ticket info and full description. Export to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, or pull straight from the API.

Perfect for building event calendars, city guides, community newsletters, market research, lead lists for organizers, or feeding events into your own app, spreadsheet or workflow.

***

### What you get

One flat, ready-to-use record per event:

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` | Event title |
| `url` / `slug` | Direct link to the event page |
| `startAt` / `endAt` | Start and end time (ISO 8601) |
| `timezone` | Event timezone |
| `isOnline` | Whether the event is online |
| `venueName` / `address` | Venue and full address |
| `city` / `region` / `country` | Location |
| `latitude` / `longitude` | Map coordinates |
| `coverImageUrl` | Event cover image |
| `host` / `hostNames` | Organizer(s) |
| `calendarName` | The calendar / community it belongs to |
| `isFree` / `price` / `ticketInfo` | Free vs. paid and ticket status |
| `guestCount` / `registrationCount` | Attendance numbers (when shown) |
| `description` | Full event description *(detail mode / Include full details)* |
| `categories` | Event topics *(detail mode / Include full details)* |

***

### How to use

#### 1. Discover events (browse & list)

Set **mode** to *Discover events* and optionally narrow down:

- **City** — e.g. `Paris`, `London`, `Singapore`, `New York`. Leave empty to browse popular events across many cities.
- **Category** — e.g. `tech`, `ai`, `crypto`, `fooddrink`, `climate`, `games`, `running`, `books`.
- **Include full event details** — also adds the full description and topics to every row.

```json
{
  "mode": "discover",
  "city": "Paris",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

#### 2. Event details (from URLs)

Set **mode** to *Event details* and paste one or more Luma event links (or their short codes):

```json
{
  "mode": "event_detail",
  "eventUrls": [
    "https://lu.ma/7l3q1vki",
    "o6vbvdqe"
  ]
}
```

***

### Input reference

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `mode` | select | `discover` (browse & list) or `event_detail` (from URLs) |
| `eventUrls` | array | Event URLs or codes for detail mode |
| `city` | string | Optional city filter for discover mode |
| `category` | string | Optional topic filter for discover mode |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | Add full description + topics to discover rows |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max events to collect (0 = no limit) |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | Parallel detail-page fetches |

***

### Tips

- Start with a small `maxItems` to preview the shape of the data, then scale up.
- Use **Discover** with a **City** for the freshest local events, and **Event details** when you already have a list of links you care about.
- Results include ISO timestamps and map coordinates, so they drop straight into calendars, maps and databases.

### Notes

This scraper collects **public** event information only. Please use the data responsibly and in line with Luma's terms.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

discover = browse and list public events (optionally filtered by a city or category). event\_detail = full details for the specific event pages you provide in "Event URLs".

## `eventUrls` (type: `array`):

For "Event details" mode. One or more Luma event URLs or event codes, e.g. https://lu.ma/7l3q1vki or just 7l3q1vki. Paste the link straight from your browser.

## `city` (type: `string`):

In Discover mode, limit results to one city, e.g. "Paris", "London" or "Singapore". Leave empty to browse popular events across many cities.

## `category` (type: `string`):

In Discover mode, limit results to a topic, e.g. "tech", "ai", "crypto", "fooddrink", "climate", "games", "running" or "books". Leave empty for all topics. Ignored when a City is set.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

In Discover mode, also open each event's own page to add the full description and topics. Slower, but returns richer rows.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of events to collect in this run (0 = no limit).

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many event detail pages to fetch in parallel (used in Event details mode and when "Include full event details" is on).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "discover",
  "eventUrls": [],
  "includeDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

The results as dataset items.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "eventUrls": []
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("hipersoft/luma-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "eventUrls": []
}' |
apify call hipersoft/luma-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,hipersoft/luma-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
