Luma (lu.ma) events as JSON API

Luma Events Scraper is a pay-per-record Apify Actor by Daemon Data that returns lu.ma events by city, category, keyword or calendar: dates, venue, tickets, hosts as JSON, CSV or Excel. It costs $0.0015 per event with the default options ($1.50 per 1,000); no login to the source site, no proxy, no browser, and the same input runs from the Apify console, one REST call, Python, Node.js, n8n or an AI assistant through MCP.

Input and how to call it

A verified example input (it returned data on 2026-10-23):

{
  "cities": [
    "London"
  ],
  "categories": [
    "ai"
  ],
  "daysAhead": 30,
  "includeDetails": true,
  "maxEvents": 50
}

One HTTP call starts a run, waits for it and returns the records (token from console.apify.com):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/data_daemon~luma-events-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cities": ["London"], "categories": ["ai"], "daysAhead": 30, "includeDetails": true, "maxEvents": 50}'

Python: ApifyClient(token).actor("data_daemon/luma-events-scraper").call(run_input=...), full file python/luma-events-scraper.py. Node.js: node/luma-events-scraper.mjs. n8n: importable workflow. AI assistant (MCP): add the remote server https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=data_daemon/luma-events-scraper with header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code and ask for the data in plain words.

All input fields

Price

$0.0015 per event ($1.50 per 1,000); $0.001 per run. List prices for Apify Free and Starter plans; Scale and Business plans pay 15% to 30% less.

Worked example: the input above, capped at 50 events, costs at most $0.076. Apify's free plan includes $5 of usage a month, about 3,333 events; the Actor's own compute is included in the per-record price, and records skipped by filters, de-duplication or only-new mode are not charged.

What it is not for

Eventbrite, Meetup (not covered); attendee or guest lists (never collected). The data belongs to its publisher; the Actor reads public pages and endpoints and leaves out personal contact details.

Questions buyers ask

How much does it cost to scrape Luma?

$0.0015 per event with its full details plus $0.001 per run, so 100 events cost about $0.15 and a daily feed of 20 new events about $1 a month.

Is there an official Luma API?

Luma has a paid API for calendar owners (their own events). This Actor reads the public JSON that the lu.ma website itself loads for discover, category, calendar and event pages, and exposes it as a REST API with schedules, webhooks and only-new runs. No login or API key is needed.

Does it collect attendees or guest lists?

No. The Actor never requests or outputs guest lists, guest names, e-mails or phone numbers, including the "N going" avatars shown on event pages. It outputs the hosts' and organiser calendar's public profile information exactly as the event page shows it (name, bio, profile URL, website and social handles).

Why is the address missing on some events?

Hosts can show the exact address only to registered guests. Luma then shows the city and neighbourhood, and so does the Actor: address and venue are null, addressHidden is true, and the coordinates are rounded to about 1 km. City, region and country are still filled in.

Why does an online-only run of a city return nothing?

Luma's city and category pages list events with a physical location near that city. Online events are found through organiser calendars (startUrls) and keyword searches with cities: [], and are marked format: "online".

Which cities and categories exist?

The 87 cities on lu.ma/discover (any lu.ma/<city> page; the Actor also resolves new cities live) and the 12 categories ai, tech, arts, climate, crypto, fitness, wellness, running, books, games, family, fooddrink. A city or category Luma does not know ends the run with Saved 0 events and the known examples in the status message.

Can I scrape past events?

Not in this version: Luma's public feeds list upcoming events. Open an issue if you need an organiser's past events.

Does it work for luma.com links?

Yes. lu.ma and luma.com are the same site; paste either form in startUrls.
