Facebook Events Scraper

Collect public Facebook events by keyword, event URL, public Facebook Page URL, or city Events URL. Each result has a stable event ID, name, URL, displayed time, venue, public counts, and other fields when the source provides them. Set Fetch event details for descriptions and richer venue, host, and ticket fields.

All modes use the Actor owner's configured ScrapeCreators API key. Specific event URLs always use the event-details endpoint. The Fetch event details option enriches events found by keyword, Page, or city listings. The Actor does not log in, collect attendee identities, or access private events. Facebook may change or restrict public data, so some fields can be null. A zero-result or blocked run is explained in the SUMMARY key-value record.

Input examples

Keyword search:

{"searchTerms":["music festival"],"maxResults":20,"maxPagesPerSource":2}

Specific event:

{"searchTerms":[],"eventUrls":["https://www.facebook.com/events/2155772935343838/"],"includeDetails":true,"maxResults":1}

Public Page events:

{"searchTerms":[],"pageUrls":["https://www.facebook.com/brickyardoldtown/"],"maxResults":10}

City events:

{"searchTerms":[],"cityUrls":["https://www.facebook.com/events/explore/saint-petersburg-florida/111326725552547/"],"cityTime":"this_week","maxResults":10}

Combine modes in one run. Duplicate event IDs are written once. maxPagesPerSource and maxProviderRequests cap provider work. Verified Apify free-plan runs deliver at most five events; upgrade to use higher result limits. A missing provider key blocks listing modes with a clear SUMMARY diagnostic.

Pricing

Pay per event charges one automatic start event and one automatic dataset-item event for each delivered public event. No result event is charged for empty or blocked results. The Actor owner pays platform usage; it is not passed through to users. The prices below include a conservative allowance for provider requests and ordinary Apify usage. Requesting full details increases provider calls but does not add another user event.

Event	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD
Actor start	$0.006250	$0.006094	$0.005938	$0.005000
Public event	$0.005000	$0.004875	$0.004750	$0.004000

BRONZE, SILVER, and GOLD result prices are 2.5%, 5%, and 20% below FREE. One result costs $0.01125 on FREE; five cost $0.03125; twenty cost $0.10625, assuming one start event at the run's memory setting. Live prices must be checked in Apify before relying on this table.

PLATINUM and DIAMOND use the GOLD prices. The Actor limits work before provider calls to the number of results that the remaining event-charge budget can cover.

Limitations

• The source exposes public events only. Search results and counts can vary with Facebook availability and provider coverage.
• startTime, endTime, location, tickets, and attendance counts can be null if the public source omits them.
• This is event discovery, not a guaranteed complete Facebook Events index.
• The Actor stores event details, not attendee lists or personal profiles.

Owner configuration

Store SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY as a private Actor environment variable. Do not place it in input, Tasks, source files, or logs. Keep the Actor and example Tasks private until the owner reviews the branding and publishes them.
