🎟️ Luma Events Scraper — Events by City, Category & Calendar

Export public events from Luma (luma.com, formerly lu.ma) as clean rows: name, start and end in UTC with the timezone, in person or online, venue and full address, coordinates, free or ticket price range, sold out, spots left, approval required, guest and ticket counts, organiser and its Luma page, cover image and, optionally, the full description.

Ask in four ways, as many as you like in one run: cities (about 90 Luma discovery cities — New York, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Toronto…), categories near those cities (tech, ai, arts, fitness, wellness, climate, crypto, food, books, games, family, running), coordinates for any other place, and calendars (a community's or venue's Luma page, upcoming or past). Filter by dates, free only, and in person or online.

The unit of output is one event delivered. Hosts and guests are people and are never named.

Who buys this and for what job

• Event sponsors and sales teams finding tech and AI meetups in their target cities.
• Community and DevRel teams tracking what competitors and communities run.
• Newsletters and city guides listing upcoming events.
• Researchers counting events by city and topic.

Buyers usually search for this as "Luma scraper", "lu.ma events" or "tech events by city".

🔧 How it works

The actor reads Luma's public discovery list and calendar pages through the same JSON endpoints luma.com uses, 50 events per request with a pause between requests. Luma ignores a category combined with a city name, so a city + category search uses the city's coordinates. An event found by two of your searches is delivered once.

Addresses Luma shows only to registered guests stay hidden (city only). Hosts, guests and featured guests are never read into rows; a personal calendar's owner is not named.

Every run reads each host's robots.txt first: a path it disallows is skipped, listed in the run receipt and never charged. Only public internet addresses are fetched (no private, loopback or cloud-metadata addresses, checked again on every redirect). No logins, no CAPTCHA solving, no proxies.

Delivery is pushed first and charged after. The run receipt (RUN_RECEIPT) lists every source with events read and kept, unknown city names with Luma's full city list, how many events each filter dropped, and the delivered and charged counts.

💰 Pricing example

Per event delivered, no start fee, no monthly charge:

Apify plan	Price per event
Free	$0.05
Bronze	$0.045
Silver	$0.04
Gold, Platinum, Diamond	$0.0335

• 10 events: $0.50 on the Free plan, $0.34 on Gold.
• 1,000 events: $50.00 on the Free plan, $33.50 on Gold.
• 10,000 events: $500.00 on the Free plan, $335.00 on Gold.

Coverage and size. Proof runs on 18 Oct 2026: 40 events from three cities in 5 seconds; Toronto + AI, a point in Barcelona + AI and a community calendar, with descriptions, 18 events in 18 seconds. City discovery lists hold the events Luma features for each city (New York listed 75 that day); categories and calendars reach many more.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

Events are published by their organisers on Luma. Luma's terms of use carry a copyright notice and no clause against automated access; robots.txt on luma.com and on its data host (api2.luma.com) allows these pages. Use the data for listing and research, and link to the event page.

No person data: hosts and guests are counted, never named.

Every run reads each host's robots.txt first: a path it disallows is skipped, listed in the run receipt and never charged. Only public internet addresses are fetched (no private, loopback or cloud-metadata addresses, checked again on every redirect). No logins, no CAPTCHA solving, no proxies.

❓ FAQ

My city is not found Luma has about 90 discovery cities (listed in RUN_RECEIPT). For other places use coordinates with a category.

Can I get the guest list? No. Guests are people; only counts are delivered.

Do I need a Luma account? No.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• PARTIAL with 'not Luma discovery cities' — Those names did not match; see the city list in RUN_RECEIPT.
• SOURCE UNAVAILABLE — Luma did not answer after retries. Nothing was charged.
