Luma Events Scraper: Every Event in Any City, Calendar or Link (lu.ma)

Pull upcoming events from Luma (luma.com / lu.ma), the home of tech meetups, hackathons, founder dinners, demo days, run clubs and community events, as clean structured data: name, date and time, venue, address and coordinates, distance from the city centre, hosts with their public social links, RSVP counts, prices and every ticket tier, descriptions, categories, registration questions and capacity signals.

Type a city (sf, San Francisco, London, São Paulo), a point (30.2672,-97.7431), a community calendar (genai-collective) or paste any Luma link. No login, cookies, API key or proxy needed.

Built to beat solidcode/luma-scraper

Same three cities (San Francisco, London, Tokyo), same week (Oct 20-27, 2026), same day:

	This actor	solidcode/luma-scraper
Events returned	970 (SF 477, London 356, Tokyo 137)	75 (SF 34, London 25, Tokyo 16)
Their events we also return	75 of 75	-
Price per 1,000 events (Free plan)	$1.50 (down to $0.90 on Gold)	$2.50 (from $2.10)
Cost of this test	~$1.46 for 970 events	$0.19 for 75 events

A city page on Luma shows a curated pick of about 50 events spread over months. This actor returns every public event Luma lists in the city's area by default (about 70 km around the centre, each row with distanceKm), or just the curated picks with cityFeed: "featured".

Where solidcode still wins: it names the video provider of online events and reads user-profile links; we do neither. If you only want Luma's own featured list, both actors give you the same events.

What you can do with it

• Event aggregators and city guides: keep a local "what's on" site or newsletter complete with a daily run.
• Sales and recruiting leads: find who hosts AI, startup and VC events in your city, with their public LinkedIn/X/Instagram links.
• Sponsors and event marketers: discover relevant events, size them from RSVP counts and ticket tiers, spot hosts to partner with.
• Calendar sync and alerts: pipe events into Google Calendar, Slack, Notion or Sheets with Apify integrations.
• Research: map a city's event scene by category, topic or host.

}

• guestCount is null when the host hides RSVPs. addressHidden: true means the host shows the address to registered guests only (common in San Francisco and London).
• detailsFetched: false marks a row whose detail request failed; the listing fields are still filled.

Pricing

Pay per event, by Apify plan: $1.50 per 1,000 events on Free, $1.40 Bronze, $1.10 Silver, $0.90 Gold and up. Keyword, date, distance, free/paid and format filters run before billing, so you only pay for events you keep.

Notes

• Only public events are returned. Private and unlisted events are not accessible.
• Is it legal? The actor reads the same public event pages anyone can open without an account. Host and featured-guest social links are what those people chose to publish on their Luma profile; featured guests are off unless you turn them on. Use the data in line with privacy law where you are (e.g. GDPR for EU residents).
