What you can do with it

• Event lead generation: list the pages that host events in a city or niche (venues, promoters, festivals, studios), with their Facebook page, ticketing link and how many people responded.
• Event calendars and city guides: feed a newsletter, app or website with upcoming events, UTC times and GPS coordinates.
• Competitor and venue monitoring: schedule a page and get its new events every day.
• Market research: what is on, where and when; which categories and ticket providers dominate a city.

Search Facebook events by keyword and city

{
  "searchQueries": ["halloween party", "tech conference"],
  "locations": ["New York", "London"],
  "startDate": "2026-10-24",
  "endDate": "2026-11-01",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Field	What it does
searchQueries	Keywords as you would type them on Facebook: halloween party, tech conference, jazz, food festival
locations	City names in English (New York, London, Paris, France) or a numeric Facebook city id. Every keyword is searched in every city
dateFilter	any, today, tomorrow, this_week, this_weekend, next_week, next_30_days, custom
startDate, endDate	Date window, YYYY-MM-DD
category	Facebook's event category: music, party, food, networking, comedy, sports, art, wellness and 15 more
exactCityOnly	Keep only events whose city is exactly the one you asked for (see the note below)
includePastEvents	Also return events that already happened
maxItems	Upper limit per keyword and city pair, per page and per search link
onlyNew	For schedules: delivers, and charges, only events not delivered by earlier runs (see below)

About the city filter. The Actor applies Facebook's own location filter, and Facebook reads it as "in or near the city": a search in New York also returns Hoboken or East Meadow. Turn on exactCityOnly to drop the neighbours; dropped events are not charged.

Get all events of a Facebook page

{
  "startUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/RoyalAlbertHall"],
  "maxItems": 100
}

A page link or just the page name works. You get the events the page hosts, upcoming first. With includePastEvents the list continues into past events, newest first.

Scrape Facebook event links

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.facebook.com/events/457586111619974/",
    "https://www.facebook.com/events/search/?q=food%20festival"
  ]
}

Event links return one row each. An events search link is scraped with the filters you picked on Facebook. A link to a private or removed event returns a free EVENT_NOT_FOUND row.

Schedule it daily: only new events

Turn on onlyNew, save your keywords, cities or pages as a Task and attach a daily Schedule:

{
  "searchQueries": ["tech conference"],
  "locations": ["London"],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "onlyNew": true
}

• The first run delivers up to maxItems and marks every other event it found as seen.
• Every run after that delivers, and charges, only events you have not received before. Already delivered events are skipped before their page is opened, so they cost nothing and do not count toward maxItems.
• Facebook shows logged-out visitors a different slice of the search each time, so the first few runs may still bring events that existed before but never reached you. Never a repeat.
• The same input is searched again only after 30 minutes: a run started sooner ends at once, without searching, and charges nothing. Hourly or daily schedules are not affected.
• A day with nothing new ends successfully with the status "No new events since the last run" and charges nothing.
• The memory lives in a Key-Value Store in your own Apify account (facebook-events-scraper-only-new), one record per search, page and filter set. Delete it to start over. Event links are always delivered.
• Connect Slack, e-mail or Google Sheets to the Task and new events land where you read them.

Output fields

Field	Meaning
id, url, name, description	The event
startUtc, endUtc, startTimestamp, endTimestamp	Start and end in UTC (ISO 8601 and Unix seconds). endUtc is empty when the host set no end time
timezone, dateText, duration	Time zone abbreviation and the date line exactly as Facebook shows it in the event's local time
isOnline, onlineUrl, isCanceled, isPast	Status flags
isRecurring, seriesId, otherOccurrences	Recurring events: the row is the next date (or the date inside your date window); otherOccurrences lists the neighbouring dates with their own links
venueName, address, city, cityId, latitude, longitude, venuePageUrl	Where it happens
categories	Facebook's categories for the event
respondedCount	People who responded (interested or going) as shown to visitors without login
interestedCount, goingCount	Filled only when Facebook exposes the split for that event; usually empty
ticketUrl, ticketProvider	Tickets link and provider when the host added one
imageUrl	Cover image
organizerIsPage, organizerName, organizerUrl, organizerId, organizerVerified	The hosting page. Filled only when Facebook marks the event as owned by a Page
source, scrapedAt	Which input produced the row, and when
error, errorCode	Only on free error rows

Pricing

US$ 8.50 per 1,000 events, pay per result, no monthly rental and no start fee. US$ 8.08 on Bronze, US$ 7.65 on Silver, US$ 7.23 on Gold and above.

• 30 events (the default example): about US$ 0.26
• 300 events from 3 keywords in 2 cities: about US$ 2.55
• 1,000 events: US$ 8.50

You are charged once per unique event delivered. Not charged: error rows, duplicates across keywords, past events you did not ask for, events dropped by exactCityOnly. Proxy and compute are already inside the price. Set a maximum charge per run in the run options and the Actor stops there.

How to use it

• API: open the API tab on the Actor page and copy the run-sync-get-dataset-items endpoint; POST the input JSON as the body and the events come back in the response.
• Schedule: save the input as a task and add a schedule in the Apify Console (daily for a page or a city is typical).
• Integrations: n8n, Make and Zapier have Apify nodes: run the Actor, then read the dataset. Webhooks fire when a run ends. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML.
• MCP / AI agents: the Actor works as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

Limits you should know

• Public events only, as a visitor without login sees them. Private events, events of groups, and pages restricted by age or country (many bars and clubs) need a login and are not returned.
• Depth of a search. Without login Facebook shows roughly 50 to 150 events per search, sometimes fewer. The Actor repeats each search across several sessions and merges the results, so two runs can return slightly different sets. For big jobs use several keywords, date windows, categories or cities; duplicates are removed and never charged twice.
• Date windows. Facebook matches a recurring series when any of its dates is inside the window; the Actor returns the date that falls inside it and drops (free of charge) what it cannot place in the window.
• Ticket price is not shown to visitors without login. You get the tickets link and the provider.
• Organizer. Returned only when the event belongs to a Facebook Page. Events created from a personal profile come without organizer name and link. Guest lists and attendee names are never collected.
• City names. Type the city in English. If a small town is not recognised, the Actor falls back to a text search and logs it.

FAQ

Do I need a Facebook account or cookies? No. Everything is read as a logged-out visitor.

Is it legal to scrape Facebook events? The Actor reads only public event pages, the same a visitor without an account sees, and collects no private profiles or attendee lists. You are responsible for how you use the data; check the rules that apply to you.

Why did my search return fewer events than maxItems? That is all Facebook showed to visitors for that keyword, city and date. Try a broader keyword, remove the category, or split by date.

Why is interestedCount empty? Logged-out visitors see one number per event, the people who responded. It is in respondedCount.

Can I get events near coordinates? Use the nearest city in locations; every row has latitude and longitude to filter by distance afterwards.

Something broke? Open an issue on the Actor page with the run id. Issues are answered within a day.

This Actor collects only public data and respects the site's terms regarding non-public content.
