Luma Events Scraper: lu.ma Hosts & Tickets

Get the upcoming events of any Luma (luma.com, formerly lu.ma) city page, community calendar, category page or keyword search as one clean row each: name, start and end time with timezone, venue address with coordinates, organising calendar, hosts with their Luma profile links, ticket price range, sold-out and waitlist status, spots left and guest count. Turn on Include event details for the full description and every ticket type with its price.

The Actor reads Luma's own public JSON API, so there is no browser, login or cookie, and 100 events take a few seconds. $0.50 per 1,000 events, no start fee, nothing charged for empty runs.

What you get

• Event: name, URL, start and end time (UTC) with timezone, online or in person, cover image
• Place: venue name, full address, city, country, latitude / longitude, Google Place ID
• Organisers: calendar (name, website, verified flag) and hosts with Luma profile links
• Host and guest socials (optional, free): each host's bio and the Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube and website links shown on their Luma profile, plus the featured guests Luma shows on the event page
• Tickets: free or paid, price range and currency, sold out, waitlist, approval required, spots remaining, guest count
• Details (optional): full description as text, Markdown and HTML, every ticket type with price and capacity, categories

Try it: the input is prefilled with https://luma.com/sf. Click Start and San Francisco's upcoming events (usually under 100) arrive in about 10 seconds, for a few cents.

How to scrape Luma events

1. Paste Luma links into Start URLs: a city (https://luma.com/nyc), a calendar (https://luma.com/genai-sf), a category (https://luma.com/ai), https://luma.com/discover, or event links. lu.ma links work too.
2. Or type city slugs into Cities (sf, nyc, london, berlin, tokyo, ...), or a keyword into Search query.
3. Set Max events to cap the run and the cost. Turn on Include event details if you need descriptions and ticket types.
4. Click Start and export the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it through the API.

Supported inputs

Input	What you get
City page luma.com/sf or Cities ["sf"]	Every upcoming event Luma lists for the city
Calendar luma.com/<calendar> or luma.com/calendar/cal-...	All upcoming events of the calendar; past events too with Include past events
Category luma.com/ai, luma.com/tech, ...	Category events around each city in Cities (or around Luma's default city)
luma.com/discover	Events of each city in Cities, otherwise the city Luma picks for the server's location
Event luma.com/abc123xy, luma.com/event/evt-...	That event
Search query only	Luma-wide keyword search (Luma returns up to 50 events per keyword)

Monitor changes on a schedule

Turn on Only new or changed items to watch a city, calendar or search: each run remembers what earlier runs returned and outputs only events that are new or whose date and time, ticket price, sold-out flag, registration status (open, waitlist, sold out) or venue changed. Unchanged events are dropped before any event detail call, so they are not charged. Max items then sets how many events are checked per run, so set it high enough to cover the whole city or calendar (e.g. 200 for New York). Save the input as a task and add a Schedule in Apify (for example daily); give each watch its own Monitoring key if several schedules use the same input. Every output item has changeType (new or changed), and changed items have previousValues with the old values, e.g. {"registrationStatus": "open"} for an event that just moved to a waitlist.

How much does it cost to scrape Luma?

Pay per event, no start fee and no monthly rental:

• $0.0005 per event saved ($0.50 per 1,000 events).
• +$0.001 per event when Include event details is on.

Apify's free plan ($5 of monthly credit) covers about 10,000 events a month, or about 3,300 with details. Platform usage is small because the actor only makes JSON API calls (one request per 50 events, plus one per event for details).

Does it work without a Luma account?

Yes. Everything comes from Luma's public API, which the Luma website calls for logged-out visitors. You do not need a Luma account, cookies or an API key (Luma's official API requires a paid Luma Plus plan and only covers calendars you manage).

How many events can I get from a city?

All of them: the actor follows Luma's pagination until the city's list ends (San Francisco lists about 80 upcoming events, New York about 110). For more, add more cities, add the city's big community calendars as start URLs, or scrape category pages around a city. Keyword search on its own is limited by Luma to 50 events per keyword.

Can I scrape past events?

Yes, for calendars. Turn on Include past events and the actor scrapes the calendar's upcoming events and then its past events, newest first. City and category pages on Luma only show upcoming events.

Can I get host social links and featured guests?

Yes. Turn on Include host social links to add each host's short bio and the Instagram, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube and website links that their Luma profile shows publicly. Turn on Include featured guests to add the up to 10 guests Luma shows on the event page (name, Luma profile link and the same public social links). Featured guests are mostly attendees, and speakers when the host adds them as guests; Luma shows them only on events whose host makes guests public. Both options read data Luma already returns with the event, so they cost no extra requests and no extra charge. Profiles that show no links give null.

Can I get full attendee lists or emails?

No. The actor never collects the full guest list, registration answers, or anyone's email or phone number, and it never logs in. guestCount is the aggregate number Luma shows on public events.

Integrations and API

Run it on a schedule and send new events to Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, Zapier, Make or n8n, or call it from Python or Node.js with the Apify client. The API tab has ready-made snippets.

Is it legal to scrape Luma?

This actor reads publicly visible event listings, the same information anyone sees on luma.com without logging in, and it skips full guest lists, emails and phone numbers. Host and guest names and social links are exported only when you turn on the options for them, and only as far as the person's Luma profile shows them publicly. You are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with Luma's terms and the laws that apply to you (for example GDPR if you process hosts' names in the EU).
