It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Luma Events Scraper: Every Event in Your City (lu.ma) Find **Luma (lu.ma) events** in any of Luma's 87 cities, with no login and no API key, and get an **events report for every city**: - **Every event in a city, not just the featured ones**: Luma's city page shows 50 to 80 events; this Actor sweeps 40 topics and finds **900+ upcoming events in New York and 780+ in London** in a month - **Every event**: name, date and local time, day of week, duration, venue, address and map coordinates (when public), city and country, free or ticket price range, guests, spots left, sold out or waitlist, approval needed, organiser and its website and socials, link - **Search any way**: cities, topics ("hackathon", "AI", "run club") in a city or worldwide, or paste **lu.ma calendar links** (all upcoming events of a community) and **event links** - **Optional details**: description, Luma categories and every ticket type with its price - **Report per city**: free vs paid share and ticket prices, busiest days and start hours, sold out, top organisers, biggest events, neighbourhoods ### What does this Luma scraper do? ``` Luma · New York · next 30 days · 935 events 66% free · paid median $29.99 ($15 – $55) Busiest: Thursday, 6 pm · 155 sold out or waitlisted · 43% need approval 397 organisers · biggest: Founders Running Club (1,104 guests) ``` 1.

With no search terms, the Actor runs 40 topic searches per city and merges them; events Luma does not list for the city are not found. Topic searches stay inside the city (New York results include Brooklyn and Queens). - **Cities**: the 87 cities with a Luma page (New York, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Paris, Singapore, Bengaluru, Lagos, Nairobi, São Paulo, Sydney, Tokyo and more). Common names work: "NYC", "SF", "Bangalore", "DC". - **Guests**: many events hide their guest list; `guestCount` is what Luma shows. - **Privacy**: host names, guests and personal calendars are not collected. Organisers are community and company calendars. Street addresses and coordinates are given only when the event shows them publicly. Emails and phone numbers in descriptions are hidden. - **Links** must be full URLs (https://lu.ma/...). - Data comes from **Luma's public discovery pages**. **Not affiliated with Luma.** ### Input | Field | Meaning | |---|---| | **Cities** | Luma cities | | **Search terms** | Topics; with cities, only these topics in each city; without, worldwide | | **Find every event in the city** | The 40-topic sweep (on by default) | | **Luma links** | Calendar or event links | | **Days ahead** | 1 to 365 (default 30); 0 = every upcoming event | | **Free events only**, **Include online events** | Filters | | **Event details** | Description, categories and ticket types | | **Events per city or search** | 1 to 5,000 (default 1,000) | | **Reports** | On by default | ### Integrations Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets, or connect through the Apify API, webhooks, Make, Zapier and n8n. **Schedule it weekly** for a fresh list of what's on in your cities. # Actor input Schema ## `cities` (type: `array`): Luma cities, e.g. "New York", "San Francisco", "London", "Berlin", "Bengaluru", "Singapore". 87 cities have a Luma page; RUN_SUMMARY lists them if a name is not found. ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Optional topics, e.g. "hackathon", "AI", "run club".
