The most complete Luma events scraper available. It returns every field a lu.ma event exposes (name, URL, start and end times with timezone, venue, full geo with latitude and longitude, cover images, calendar, guest and ticket counts, price range, and sold-out and approval flags), plus the host's public social handles (Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, website), and it lets you browse by discover category, filter by city, or fetch specific event URLs.

What it does

The actor browses the Luma (lu.ma) discover feed for the categories you pass, optionally filters the events by city, and can also fetch specific event URLs, slugs, or IDs directly. It writes one normalized record per event to the run's dataset. Each record carries the event's schedule and timezone, full location with coordinates, calendar, guest and ticket counts, price range, and the host's public social handles. Times are returned as ISO 8601, and missing source values are returned as null.

Data covers public events listed on Luma. It does not include private or invite-only events that are not publicly discoverable.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It browses the AI category and returns up to 50 events.

{
  "categories": ["ai"],
  "maxEvents": 50
}

Provide categories, cities, eventUrls, or any mix. Every input is optional; with an empty input the actor uses the prefilled category. Leave categories empty to browse the global feed.

Input reference

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~luma-events-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"categories":["ai","crypto"],"cities":["San Francisco"],"maxEvents":50}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~luma-events-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"eventUrls":["https://luma.com/70alz76a"]}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/luma-events-scraper \
  --input '{"categories":["tech"],"maxEvents":100}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per event returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If nothing matches, the actor writes a single item with error: "NO_RESULTS" and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 events per run. Upgrade for higher maxEvents.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned only a NO_RESULTS item. Why? Your category, city, or URL matched no public events. Try a broader category (for example ai, crypto, tech), remove the city filter, or check the event URL. NO_RESULTS runs are not charged.

How do I get events in a specific city? Add city names to cities. It filters the discover feed, so it works with a category or against the global feed.

Can I pull one specific event? Yes. Put its URL, slug, or evt-... ID in eventUrls.

Where are the host's social profiles? Each event carries the primary host's hostTwitter, hostInstagram, hostLinkedin, and hostWebsite, and the hosts array lists every host with their handles.

Why are priceMin and priceMax null? The event is free or does not publish a price. priceIsFree tells you when an event is free; missing source values are returned as null.

Is this an official Luma tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Luma. It reads only events that are publicly discoverable on lu.ma.
