📅 Luma Scraper

Extract events from Luma (lu.ma / luma.com) in any city, state, country or the whole world, or from any calendar and community. Each event comes with date and local time, venue, address and GPS, ticket price, spots left, guest count, registration status, and the hosts with their LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and website, plus the organising calendar's socials. Filter by category, keyword, date, price, in person or online, and open registration. Turn on event details for the full description, every ticket type with its capacity and spots left, categories, refund policy and registration questions.

🎯 Who uses it?

🤝 Sales and partnerships teams

Find the people running AI, tech, crypto or founder events in your market, with their LinkedIn and X, and reach them first.

📣 Event marketers and community managers

Map every competing event in your city and dates, see which ones sell out, and spot communities worth partnering with.

🗓️ Event listing sites, newsletters and apps

Fill "what's on this week" pages, city guides and alerts with fresh events, cover images, GPS and ticket links.

📊 Analysts and investors

Track which topics, cities and communities are growing: events per week, attendance, paid vs free, past events of any calendar.

✨ What it does

• Any place. A city ("Berlin"), "City, Country", a state ("California"), a country ("Germany"), Worldwide, or "latitude, longitude". Several in one run.
• Your radius. Search 5 km or 500 km around a city instead of Luma's usual ~50 km.
• Any Luma link. Calendars and communities (all their events), single events, city pages and category pages. Old lu.ma links work.
• Past events of calendars, newest first, with attendance.
• Filters: 12 categories (Tech, AI, Crypto, Arts & Culture, Food & Drink, Climate, Fitness, Wellness, Running, Books, Games, Family), keywords, date range (exact or "+7 days"), in person or online, free or paid, min and max ticket price, open for registration only.
• People, not just events. Every host and featured guest with Luma profile, bio, website and social links.
• Optional event details in the same row: description, ticket types, categories, refund policy, registration questions, sessions.

🏆 Why this scraper

• Fast. 1,000 events in about 25 seconds, 1,000 with full details in about a minute.
• Countries and the world, not just Luma's city list. Searches whole countries, states and continents, and keeps only events inside the country you asked for.
• Lead-ready. Host and calendar socials as clickable links (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, website).
• Clean data. Prices as numbers, local and UTC times, no duplicates across places, categories and links.
• No proxy needed. Nothing extra to set up or pay for.

⚙️ How the input is organised

Section	What it's for
Maximum events	Always first, caps the whole run. Empty means no limit.
Where	Places, radius, Luma links, and past events of calendars.
Filters	Categories, keywords, dates, in person or online, price, open registration.
What to include	Event details (optional).

💰 Pricing

Pay-per-event: a one-time $0.003 when the run starts, plus a price per event saved to your dataset. The price depends on your Apify plan tier:

Your Apify plan	Price per event
Free	$0.013
Bronze	$0.012
Silver	$0.011
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.010

Approximate total cost:

Events collected	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold+
100	$1.30	$1.20	$1.10	$1.00
1,000	$13.00	$12.00	$11.00	$10.00
10,000	$130.00	$120.00	$110.00	$100.00

Event details are included in the price, not billed again. No proxy costs. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit. On the Free plan a run saves up to 10 events.

Speed: 1,000 events in about 25 seconds, about a minute with details. Luma limits how fast one visitor can search, so a run with many places or categories takes a little longer.

🚀 Run it

1. Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
2. Open the Luma Scraper.
3. Type a place (or keep the prefilled one), or paste Luma links, add filters, then click Start.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.

Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python, and schedule it with Apify's built-in Scheduler to catch new events every day.

🤖 Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Luma events through the Model Context Protocol:

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/luma-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

🔧 Troubleshooting

A place was skipped. Add the country ("Valencia, Spain"), or type "latitude, longitude".

No online events. Luma's map search only lists in-person events. Online events come from calendar links.

Some events have no address. The host hides it until you register. City, country and GPS are usually still there.

Some rows have platform: external. A calendar listed an event hosted on another site. You get its name, date, place and link; it has no Luma details.

The run slows down for a while. Luma limits how fast one visitor can search. The Actor waits and carries on by itself; nothing is lost.

Some rows have an error. That event's details didn't load. The rest of the row is complete.

❓ FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Luma account?	No. Only public data is read.
Does it need a proxy?	No.
Can I get attendee lists?	No. Only the guest count and the featured guests Luma shows publicly.
Can I get past events?	Yes, for calendars: paste the calendar link and turn on Past events of calendars.
Can I scrape a whole country?	Yes. Type the country name, and leave the maximum empty for every event.
Can I track new events?	Yes. Schedule the same input daily with Apify's Scheduler and compare runs.

🛡️ Limits & responsible use

This Actor reads only public data from Luma. It never signs in and never registers for events. Host profiles are personal data: handle them in line with privacy law in your country (GDPR, CAN-SPAM...), and use the data in line with Luma's terms.
