They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Luma Event Scraper — Scrape lu.ma Events, Dates, Venues & Host Leads (No API) ![Apify Actor](https://img.shields.io/badge/Apify-Actor-00A67E?logo=apify\&logoColor=white) ![No API key](https://img.shields.io/badge/No%20API%20key-required-2ea44f) ![No login](https://img.shields.io/badge/No%20login-required-2ea44f) ![Pay per result](https://img.shields.io/badge/Pricing-Pay%20per%20result-1C7ED6) ![Events](https://img.shields.io/badge/Category-Events%20%26%20Leads-8B5CF6) ![Export](https://img.shields.io/badge/Export-JSON%20%7C%20CSV%20%7C%20Excel-F59E0B) Scrape events from **Luma (lu.ma)**, the events platform behind the AI, crypto, startup and design scenes, by **city, category or community page**. Get the **event name, date/time, timezone, venue + GPS coordinates (or online flag), price/free status, guest count** — plus every host's **name, website and social handles** — in clean structured JSON, read straight from the site's own public data. **Fast, no login, no API key, no token.** > ### 🏆 Why this Luma scraper? > > **50+ fields per event** · **thousands of events per run** · full venue + latitude/longitude · organizer website + Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube & TikTok · export to JSON / CSV / Excel. Two tools in one — an **event dataset** for trend tracking and calendars, and an **event-host lead engine** where every row becomes a targeted outreach contact. The unofficial **lu.ma API alternative** for event intelligence and organizer lead generation. *** ### ✨ What this Actor does / Key features - 🗓️ **Full event data** — name, URL, start/end time, timezone, event type, cover image, guest count, ticket count, spots remaining, sold-out and approval flags. - 📍 **Venue & geo** — venue name, full street address, city, region, country, country code and **latitude/longitude**, or a clean `isOnline` flag for virtual events. - 💰 **Pricing** — `isFree`, `priceValue` and `priceCurrency` for paid events. - 🎯 **Host lead engine** — organizer name, username, profile URL, website, bio, verified flag, plus Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok handles, and an `allHosts` list for multi-host events. - 🏘️ **Calendar / community context** — calendar name, slug, URL and its own social handles, so you can cluster recurring meetups and communities. - 🌆 **Scrape by city, category or community** — paste any public Luma page (`lu.ma/sf`, `lu.ma/nyc`, `lu.ma/london`, discover categories, community calendars); city & place pages paginate the full upcoming set automatically. - ⚡ **Reads public site data** — no headless browser gymnastics, no GraphQL token; every upcoming event comes through structured. - 🛡️ **Proxy support** — Apify Proxy integration with residential recommended (and default) for the highest success rate. ### 🚀 Quick start (3 steps) 1. **Configure** — open a Luma city or discover page (e.g. [lu.ma/sf](https://lu.ma/sf)), copy the URL, and paste it into `searchUrls`. Add more cities if you like. 2. **Run** — click **Start**. The Actor paginates every upcoming event and streams rows into your dataset. 3. **Get your data** — open the **Output / Dataset** tab and export to **JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML**, or pull it via the Apify API. ### 📥 Input Give the Actor at least one Luma page URL in `searchUrls`. Everything else is optional. #### Example — single city (San Francisco) ```json { "searchUrls": ["https://lu.ma/sf"], "maxResults": 200 } ``` #### Example — multiple cities in one run (event map) ```json { "searchUrls": [ "https://lu.ma/sf", "https://lu.ma/nyc", "https://lu.ma/london" ], "maxResults": 2000, "maxConcurrency": 3 } ``` #### Example — host lead generation (organizer + socials) ```json { "searchUrls": ["https://lu.ma/sf", "https://lu.ma/nyc"], "maxResults": 1000, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] } } ``` | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `searchUrls` | array | Luma page URLs copied from the site — city pages (`lu.ma/sf`, `lu.ma/nyc`, `lu.ma/london`, `lu.ma/paris`…), discover category pages, or any public calendar/community page. City & place pages paginate the full upcoming set. **Required.** | | `maxResults` | integer | Global cap across all URLs. `0` = no limit (a busy city can have hundreds of upcoming events). | | `maxResultsPerSearch` | integer | Per-URL cap. `0` = no per-URL cap. | | `useProxy` | boolean | Route requests through Apify Proxy. Residential recommended (default). | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy settings. Residential gives the highest success rate. | | `maxConcurrency` | integer | How many Luma URLs to process in parallel (1–10). | > **Finding a page URL:** browse [lu.ma](https://lu.ma), open a city like `lu.ma/sf` or a discover category, or any public community calendar, and copy the URL from the address bar into `searchUrls`. City and place pages paginate through every upcoming event automatically. ### 📤 Output One clean row per Luma event — **50+ fields**, exportable to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. Here is a trimmed sample record: ```json { "id": "evt-8DRVhINH9LTM7T4", "name": "Where Design Begins: An Open Exhibition", "url": "https://lu.ma/nqkyxczb", "startAt": "2026-07-04T18:00:00.000Z", "endAt": "2026-07-11T21:00:00.000Z", "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles", "eventType": "in-person", "locationType": "offline", "isOnline": false, "venueName": "SPUR Urban Center", "venueAddress": "488 Bryant St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA", "city": "San Francisco", "region": "California", "country": "United States", "countryCode": "US", "latitude": 37.7817006, "longitude": -122.3956533, "isFree": true, "priceValue": null, "priceCurrency": null, "requiresApproval": false, "isSoldOut": false, "spotsRemaining": 34, "guestCount": 266, "ticketCount": 300, "coverImage": "https://images.lumacdn.com/uploads/v3/…/cover.jpg", "hostName": "Vizcom", "hostUsername": "vizcom", "hostUrl": "https://lu.ma/user/vizcom", "hostWebsite": "https://vizcom.com/", "hostIsVerified": true, "hostTwitter": "Vizcom_ai", "hostInstagram": "vizcom_", "hostLinkedin": "/company/vizcomhq", "hostYoutube": "vizcom_ai", "hostTiktok": null, "allHosts": ["Vizcom"], "calendarName": "Vizcom", "calendarSlug": "vizcom", "calendarUrl": "https://lu.ma/vizcom", "sourceUrl": "https://lu.ma/sf", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-06T16:20:00.000Z" } ```

Try it on the **free tier** first, then scale up. See the **Pricing** tab on this page for the current rate. ### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions **Do I need a Luma account or API key?** No. The Actor reads public lu.ma event data — no login, no token, no API key required, only an Apify account. **Is this a lu.ma unofficial API or Luma API alternative?** Effectively, yes. Luma has no open public events API, so this Actor works as an unofficial **lu.ma API / Luma API alternative** — it reads the site's own public event data and returns it as clean, structured rows. **Can I scrape Luma events without login?** Yes. The Actor scrapes lu.ma without login and without an API key, reading only public event and organizer data. **Which pages can I scrape?** Any public Luma page that lists events: city pages (`lu.ma/sf`, `lu.ma/nyc`, `lu.ma/london`, `lu.ma/paris`…), discover category pages, and public calendar/community pages. City and place pages paginate through the full set of upcoming events. **Does it get online (virtual) events too?** Yes. Each event has a `locationType` and an `isOnline` flag; in-person events also include the full venue address plus latitude and longitude. **Will every event have the host's website and socials?** Whenever the host exposes them publicly on Luma, yes — website, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok come through. Fields the host left blank are returned as `null`. **How much data can I get?** You can scrape thousands of events per run. City and place pages paginate the full upcoming set; use `maxResults` to cap large runs and pass several cities in one run to build a wide event map. **How do I get event host contact details from Luma?** Each event row carries the organizer name, website and social handles, so a single city run becomes a targeted event-host outreach list for sponsors and venues. **How do I export Luma events to CSV or JSON?** Run the Actor on any public lu.ma page, then open the **Output / Dataset** tab and export your Luma event data to CSV, JSON or Excel — ready for your spreadsheet, CRM or BI tool. **Do I need a proxy?** Residential Apify Proxy is recommended and enabled by default for the highest success rate; you can adjust `proxyConfiguration` to use your own provider. ### 🔗 More social, event & community scrapers by logiover Pair the Luma scraper with the rest of the social, event and community suite to build richer event intelligence and lead pipelines: | Actor | What it does | |---|---| | [Luma Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/luma-scraper) | Alternative lu.ma event & calendar extractor | | [Meetup Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/meetup-scraper) | Meetup.com events, groups & member counts | | [Resident Advisor Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/resident-advisor-scraper) | RA electronic-music events, clubs & promoters | | [Product Hunt Daily Launches Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/product-hunt-daily-launches-scraper) | Daily product launches, makers & votes | | [Skool Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/skool-scraper) | Skool communities, members & activity | | [LinkedIn Company Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/linkedin-company-scraper) | Company profiles for enriching host leads | | [LinkedIn Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/linkedin-profile-scraper) | Public profiles for organizer research | | [TikTok Creator Lead Finder](https://apify.com/logiover/tiktok-creator-lead-finder) | Creator + contact discovery for outreach | | [YouTube Influencer Discovery Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/youtube-influencer-discovery-scraper) | Find creators and channels by niche | | [Reddit Subreddit Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/reddit-subreddit-scraper) | Community posts for niche & trend research | | [Substack Newsletter Scraper](https://apify.com/logiover/substack-newsletter-scraper) | Newsletters & authors for community mapping | 👉 Browse all **[logiover scrapers on Apify Store](https://apify.com/logiover)** — 180+ actors across real estate, jobs, crypto, social media & B2B data. ### ⏰ Scheduling & integration Schedule this Actor on Apify to refresh your event map and host lead list daily or weekly.

Leave the default for San Francisco, or add your own links under "Luma URLs" below for any other city, category or calendar. Ignored if you supply Luma URLs. ## `searchUrls` (type: `array`): Optional. Luma page URLs copied straight from the site — a city page (e.g. https://lu.ma/london), a discover category, or any public calendar/community page. When provided, these override the "City" quick-pick. City & place pages paginate through every upcoming event. Leave empty to just use the City dropdown above. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many events across all URLs. Keep a sensible cap for fast, cheap runs; raise it to pull everything. A busy city can have hundreds of upcoming events. ## `maxResultsPerSearch` (type: `integer`): Cap events collected per individual Luma URL. 0 = no per-URL cap. ## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`): Route requests through Apify Proxy (automatic IP rotation). Recommended ON. The Actor also falls back to a direct connection on its final retry, so runs still succeed if proxy IPs get blocked. Turn OFF to always connect directly. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify Proxy settings. The default (automatic) group works well against Luma. You can select RESIDENTIAL here if you hit persistent blocks. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): How many Luma URLs to process in parallel. ## Actor input object example ```json { "city": "sf", "searchUrls": [], "maxResults": 200, "maxResultsPerSearch": 0, "useProxy": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true }, "maxConcurrency": 3 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All records extracted by this run. Open the Dataset tab to browse, filter, and export as CSV, JSON, or Excel. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("logiover/luma-event-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
