Luma Event Scraper — Scrape lu.ma Events, Dates, Venues & Host Leads (No API)

Scrape events from Luma (lu.ma), the events platform behind the AI, crypto, startup and design scenes, by city, category or community page. Get the event name, date/time, timezone, venue + GPS coordinates (or online flag), price/free status, guest count — plus every host's name, website and social handles — in clean structured JSON, read straight from the site's own public data. Fast, no login, no API key, no token.

🏆 Why this Luma scraper?

50+ fields per event · thousands of events per run · full venue + latitude/longitude · organizer website + Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube & TikTok · export to JSON / CSV / Excel. Two tools in one — an event dataset for trend tracking and calendars, and an event-host lead engine where every row becomes a targeted outreach contact. The unofficial lu.ma API alternative for event intelligence and organizer lead generation.

🚀 Quick start (3 steps)

1. Configure — open a Luma city or discover page (e.g. lu.ma/sf), copy the URL, and paste it into searchUrls. Add more cities if you like.
2. Run — click Start. The Actor paginates every upcoming event and streams rows into your dataset.
3. Get your data — open the Output / Dataset tab and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull it via the Apify API.

    "https://lu.ma/nyc",
    "https://lu.ma/london"
  ],
  "maxResults": 2000,

Field	Type	Description
searchUrls	array	Luma page URLs copied from the site — city pages (lu.ma/sf, lu.ma/nyc, lu.ma/london, lu.ma/paris…), discover category pages, or any public calendar/community page. City & place pages paginate the full upcoming set. Required.
maxResults	integer	Global cap across all URLs. 0 = no limit (a busy city can have hundreds of upcoming events).
maxResultsPerSearch	integer	Per-URL cap. 0 = no per-URL cap.
useProxy	boolean	Route requests through Apify Proxy. Residential recommended (default).
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify Proxy settings. Residential gives the highest success rate.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Luma account or API key? No. The Actor reads public lu.ma event data — no login, no token, no API key required, only an Apify account.

Is this a lu.ma unofficial API or Luma API alternative? Effectively, yes. Luma has no open public events API, so this Actor works as an unofficial lu.ma API / Luma API alternative — it reads the site's own public event data and returns it as clean, structured rows.

Can I scrape Luma events without login? Yes. The Actor scrapes lu.ma without login and without an API key, reading only public event and organizer data.

Which pages can I scrape? Any public Luma page that lists events: city pages (lu.ma/sf, lu.ma/nyc, lu.ma/london, lu.ma/paris…), discover category pages, and public calendar/community pages. City and place pages paginate through the full set of upcoming events.

Does it get online (virtual) events too? Yes. Each event has a locationType and an isOnline flag; in-person events also include the full venue address plus latitude and longitude.

Will every event have the host's website and socials? Whenever the host exposes them publicly on Luma, yes — website, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok come through. Fields the host left blank are returned as null.

How much data can I get? You can scrape thousands of events per run. City and place pages paginate the full upcoming set; use maxResults to cap large runs and pass several cities in one run to build a wide event map.

How do I get event host contact details from Luma? Each event row carries the organizer name, website and social handles, so a single city run becomes a targeted event-host outreach list for sponsors and venues.

How do I export Luma events to CSV or JSON? Run the Actor on any public lu.ma page, then open the Output / Dataset tab and export your Luma event data to CSV, JSON or Excel — ready for your spreadsheet, CRM or BI tool.

Do I need a proxy? Residential Apify Proxy is recommended and enabled by default for the highest success rate; you can adjust proxyConfiguration to use your own provider.
