Facebook Events Scraper

Extract public event data from Facebook in seconds — search by keyword or pull full details from a direct event link. No login, no setup, no browser extension. Just clean, structured JSON, CSV, or Excel with every field you need for event monitoring, lead generation, or market research.

Other Facebook event tools charge as much as $7.00 per 1,000 results. This actor delivers the same (and more) data for a fraction of that price, with faster runs and zero configuration.

Why this scraper

• Cheapest on the market — massively undercuts every other Facebook Events actor, per 1,000 results.
• 40+ data points per event — title, description, dates, full location + coordinates, organizer details and verification, engagement counts, ticketing, images, category, recurrence, and more.
• Two modes in one actor — free-text search across all public Facebook events, or paste direct event URLs/IDs to enrich a list you already have.
• Zero setup — no cookies, no login, no proxy configuration. Paste a query or a URL and run.
• Built for scale — reliably handles a single lookup or tens of thousands of events in one run.
• Export anywhere — JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull results straight into your stack via API/webhook.

How it works

1. Search mode — give it one or more keywords ("concert in New York", "tech conference 2026", "yoga classes") and it returns every matching public event it can find.
2. URL mode — paste direct Facebook event URLs (or bare event IDs) and get the full detail record for each one, including fields that only appear on the event page itself.
