Facebook Events Scraper - City and Page Events

Facebook Events Scraper by ScraperCompany reads public Facebook events listing pages.

Nothing to set up: no code, no login and no keys. Start a run, then export JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the Apify API. You pay only for results; failed and empty requests are free.

A request that fails is saved with an error message instead (turn off Include failed requests to skip those). Failed requests are never charged.

How much does it cost to scrape public Facebook events?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay for successful requests, not for compute time.

Event	Charged when	Price	Per 1,000
events-page	One Facebook events listing page. A page with no events is free.	$0.004	$4.00

What a real run costs:

• 20 city pages, once: $0.08
• 20 city pages, weekly for a year: $4.16

Apify's $5 of free monthly usage covers about 1,250 events-page events.

• Failed requests (errors, invalid input, a site refusing after retries) are free.
• Requests where the source returns nothing at all (no results, nothing priced) are saved but not charged.
• Set Maximum cost per run when you start a run and the Actor stops cleanly before going over it.

Run it on a schedule

Use Apify Schedules to repeat a run hourly, daily or weekly and compare results over time, and webhooks or the Integrations tab to push new results to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack or your own warehouse.

Use it with AI agents

Results are structured JSON, so they are easy to feed to a model. AI agents such as Claude can run this Actor and read its results through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Do I need an account on the site, or an API key?

No. The Actor is ready to run as is, and you only pay the per-event prices above.

Can I search events by keyword?

Not yet. This Actor reads listing pages you link to: a city page or a Page's events page.

How many events does one page return?

The events on the first page of the listing, usually about a dozen. Each listing page is one charge.

Does it return private events?

No. It reads only public listings, and needs no Facebook account.

Why is the location sometimes only a place name?

Listing pages often show a place or address without a city or coordinates, so those fields can be empty.

Is it legal to scrape public Facebook events?

The Actor collects publicly available information that anyone can see without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the results: respect the source site's terms, copyright and privacy law (such as GDPR) and do not collect personal data without a lawful basis. If in doubt, ask a lawyer.

What happens when a request is blocked or rate-limited?

Temporary errors are retried automatically. If a request still fails it is saved with the error message and not charged, and the rest of the batch keeps going. A run only fails when every request failed.

Why did a request return an error?

Read the error field: it says what was wrong with the input, for example a malformed date or an unknown id. Fix it and run again; failed requests cost nothing.

How many requests can I run at once?

Any number per run. The Actor sends up to 3 requests in parallel by default (change it under Run options); larger batches simply take longer.

Use it from your code

Call the Actor from any language through the Apify API. With the JavaScript client (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('scrapercompany/facebook-events-scraper').call({
    "urls": [
        "https://www.facebook.com/events/explore/wichita-kansas/105674782800210/"
    ]
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

With Python (pip install apify-client):

import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("scrapercompany/facebook-events-scraper").call(run_input={
    "urls": ["https://www.facebook.com/events/explore/wichita-kansas/105674782800210/"],
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
