💰 Pricing

You pay $0.06 per 1,000 events ($0.00006 per event), plus platform usage (compute and datacenter proxy traffic, about $0.002 per 1,000 events in our tests).

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Luma? The actor reads only public event pages and public host profiles that anyone can open without an account. You are responsible for how you use the data, including privacy rules such as GDPR.

Do I need a Luma account or proxy? No login and no cookies. The default datacenter proxy works well.

How many events can I get? Everything Luma lists for a city: over 1,000 upcoming events for big cities like San Francisco. Calendars return all their upcoming or past events.

Why is the address empty for some events? Some hosts hide the exact address until you register. Those rows still have the city, region and country, and addressHidden is true.

Why is the description empty? Luma's listings do not include descriptions. Turn on Include full details to get them.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Schedule daily runs to catch new events, and start runs and read results through the API.

⚠️ Limits

• City discovery lists upcoming events only. For past events, use calendar or profile URLs with past events.
• Guest lists, attendee names and private or invite-only events are not scraped.
• Category pages and keywords need at least one city.
