## Pricing

from $10.00 / 1,000 events

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## 📅 Luma Scraper

Extract events from **Luma (lu.ma / luma.com)** in any city, state, country or the whole world, or from any calendar and community. Each event comes with date and local time, venue, address and GPS, ticket price, spots left, guest count, registration status, and the **hosts with their LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and website**, plus the organising calendar's socials. Filter by category, keyword, date, price, in person or online, and open registration. Turn on **event details** for the full description, every ticket type with its capacity and spots left, categories, refund policy and registration questions.

### ❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

#### Is there a Luma API? Do I need an API key?

> Luma has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Luma API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP:
> `claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/luma-scraper"`

#### Why do I get only 10 events?

> On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

#### A place was skipped

> Add the country ("Valencia, Spain"), or type "latitude, longitude".

#### No online events

> Luma's map search only lists in-person events. Online events come from calendar links.

#### Is this an official Luma tool?

> No. It is independent and not affiliated with Luma. It reads only data Luma publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Luma's terms and the laws that apply to you.

# Actor input Schema

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many events. Leave empty for no limit (every event that matches). The Apify Free plan is always capped at 10.

## `locations` (type: `array`):

A city ("San Francisco", "London"), "City, Country" ("Valencia, Spain"), a state ("California"), a country ("Germany"), "Worldwide", or "latitude, longitude". A city covers about 50 km around it.

## `radiusKm` (type: `integer`):

Search this far around each city or point instead of Luma's usual ~50 km. Leave empty for the default.

## `urls` (type: `array`):

Calendars and communities (luma.com/genai-sf: all their events), single events (luma.com/abc123), city pages (luma.com/sf) or category pages (luma.com/ai). lu.ma links work too.

## `includePast` (type: `boolean`):

For calendar links, also collect their past events (with attendance), newest first.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Keep events in any of these Luma categories. Leave empty for all.

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Keep events whose name, calendar or host mentions any of these words, e.g. "founders", "hackathon", "yoga".

## `dateFrom` (type: `string`):

A date (2026-11-20) or a relative one ("+7 days"). Leave empty for today.

## `dateTo` (type: `string`):

A date (2026-12-31) or a relative one ("+30 days"). Events starting up to this day.

## `format` (type: `string`):

Luma's map search only lists in-person events; online events come from calendar links.

## `price` (type: `string`):

Free events, paid events, or both.

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Cheapest ticket, in the event's own currency.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Cheapest ticket, in the event's own currency. 0 keeps free events only.

## `availableOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Skip sold-out events, waitlists and closed registrations.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Reads each event for its full description, every ticket type with price and spots left, categories, refund policy and registration questions. Slower: about 20 events per second.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxItems": 10,
  "locations": [

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
