Authentication (for Registered Events)

Some events restrict their attendee list to registered guests only. To access these lists, you need to authenticate.

Option 1: Interactive Login (Recommended)

The easiest way to authenticate. Set interactiveLogin: true:

{
    "eventUrls": ["https://lu.ma/private-event"],
    "interactiveLogin": true,
    "fetchAttendees": true
}

How it works:

1. A visible browser window opens to Luma's sign-in page
2. Log in manually using your preferred method (Google, email, etc.)
3. The Actor detects successful login and extracts cookies automatically
4. Cookies are saved for future runs (until they expire)
5. Scraping proceeds with full authenticated access

Option 2: Manual Cookie Extraction

If interactive login doesn't work for your setup:

1. Open lu.ma and log in
2. Open DevTools (F12) > Console
3. Run: copy(document.cookie)
4. Paste the result into the sessionCookies input field

What's visible without authentication?

Without authentication, you can still extract:

• Full event metadata (title, description, date, location)
• Publicly visible attendees (hosts, speakers, featured guests)
• Attendee count

With authentication, you additionally get:

• Complete attendee list
• Full social profile enrichment for all attendees

How much does it cost?

Luma Event Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You only pay for what you extract.

Event Type	Price (FREE tier)	Description
Actor start	$0.001	Flat fee per run
Event scraped	$0.015	Per event with full metadata
Attendee profile	$0.005	Per attendee with social links

Volume discounts: Gold tier users and above receive approximately 30% discount on per-event pricing.

Example Costs

Scenario	Events	Attendees	Estimated Cost
Small event research	10	0	~$0.15
Event with attendees	10	200 total	~$1.15
Large discovery run	50	2,500 total	~$13.25
Enterprise research	200	10,000 total	~$53.00

Note: Platform compute costs are additional and depend on run duration. Most runs complete within a few minutes.

FAQ

Can I scrape attendee lists without authentication?

Yes, but with limitations. Without authentication, you can only see publicly visible attendees (hosts, speakers, featured guests). For the complete attendee list of most events, you need to authenticate.

How do I authenticate to get full attendee access?

Use interactiveLogin: true for the easiest experience - a browser opens for you to log in manually. Alternatively, extract cookies manually from your browser and pass them via sessionCookies.

What social profiles are extracted?

LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, GitHub, and personal websites. Not all attendees have all profiles linked - we extract whatever is available on their Luma profile.

Can I scrape events by category or location?

Yes! Use categorySlugs (e.g., ["tech", "ai"]) or locationSlugs (e.g., ["new-york", "london"]) to discover events. Combine with discoveryLimitPerMode to control how many events are found.

How do I limit the number of attendees scraped?

Set attendeeLimit to the maximum number of attendees you want per event. Set to 0 for unlimited.

Is it legal to scrape Luma events?

This Actor is designed for legitimate use cases like lead generation, market research, and event aggregation. Users are responsible for ensuring their use complies with applicable laws and Luma's terms of service.

Why are some attendees missing social profiles?

Not all Luma users link their social accounts to their profile. We extract what's publicly available on each attendee's Luma profile page.

Can I run this Actor on a schedule?

Yes! Use Apify's scheduling feature to run the Actor periodically for ongoing event monitoring or lead generation pipelines.
