WHAT IS FACEBOOK EVENTS SCRAPER AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Meet our Facebook Events Scraper! This tool is designed to extract data for
events organized and promoted on Facebook. It enables you to scrape Facebook in
three ways:

🔎 By search query. Search and scrape Facebook events by providing a text query,
let's say comedy. This way you can come up with search queries and explore
pretty much unlimited number of events. You can also search by location, let's
say Chicago. Or you can combine both previous search and go for comedy Chicago.

🎯 By search query + filters. Combine search queries with various other search
filters. You can filter out paid-only events, online events or events taking
place in a specific city, or on a specific date. All you need to do is to set up
the filters on Facebook's event search page, copy the URLs and paste them to
startUrls input field 👇. Our scraper will recognize the filters since Facebook
includes them in search URLs.

🔗 By event URL. Give the scraper URLs of specific events: one or multiple. It
will scrape all the available information for each of the chosen events. You can
also input search and explore URLS as shown 👇.

For pages recent events can be scraped by URLs like:

* https://www.facebook.com/dcimprovcomedyclub/upcoming_hosted_events
* https://www.facebook.com/O.Vienna/past_hosted_events

Please note that pattern https://www.facebook.com/PAGENAME/events is for logged
Facebook users only and will not return any scraped events for pages. For groups
however it's opposite: recent events available only by pattern
https://www.facebook.com/groups/freerussiansglobal/events as both upcoming and
past events. You need to be able to provide correct URLs to get recent events
from pages or groups. Last but not least - pages or groups rarely host a lot of
events, so actor will get only recent ones (without scrolling). To get more per
page or group please run actor by schedule.

WHAT FACEBOOK EVENTS DATA CAN I EXTRACT?

With this Facebook Scraper API, you will be able to extract the following
Facebook data:

💃 Event name👨‍💼 Organizer info📃 Description💰 Price🗺 Location and address🎫
Tickets info💰 Paid content💻 Online event and recording available📆 Start date
& time⌚ Past event⏳ Duration📷 Image

HOW DO I USE FACEBOOK EVENTS SCRAPER?

Facebook Events Scraper was designed to be easy to start with even if you've
never extracted data from the web before. Here's how you can scrape Facebook
data with this tool:

1. Create a free Apify account using your email.
2. Open Facebook Events Scraper.
3. Add one or more Facebook event URLs to scrape its data.
4. Click "Start" and wait for the data to be extracted.
5. Download your data in JSON, XML, CSV, Excel, or HTML.

DO I NEED TO BE LOGGED IN TO FACEBOOK TO SCRAPE EVENTS?

You don't need to fill in any credentials since anyone can browse public events
listed on Facebook without being logged into their account. Facebook's
recommendations on events depend on user's location and other criteria.

DO I NEED PROXIES TO SCRAPE FACEBOOK EVENTS?

Our Facebook Events Scraper is set up to utilize smart proxy rotation. Thanks to
that, your search queries will go through many different IP addresses and you
may discover events you would never come across if you were using your device
exclusively. The easiest way to enable proxy rotation is to use Apify proxies in
Console but you can also provide a proxy pool of your own.

HOW MANY RESULTS CAN YOU SCRAPE WITH FACEBOOK EVENTS SCRAPER?

Facebook Events Scraper can return over 2000 results on average. However, you
have to keep in mind that scraping facebook.com has many variables to it and may
cause the results to fluctuate case by case. There’s no
one-size-fits-all-use-cases number. The maximum number of results may vary
depending on the complexity of the input, location, and other factors. Some of
the most frequent cases are:

* website gives a different number of results depending on the type/value of
the input
* website has an internal limit that no scraper can cross
* scraper has a limit that we are working on improving

Therefore, while we regularly run Actor tests to keep the benchmarks in check,
the results may also fluctuate without our knowing. The best way to know for
sure for your particular use case is to do a test run yourself.

HOW MUCH WILL SCRAPING FACEBOOK EVENTS COST YOU?

When it comes to scraping, it can be challenging to estimate the resources
needed to extract data as use cases may vary significantly. That's why the best
course of action is to run a test scrape with a small sample of input data and
limited output. You’ll get your price per scrape, which you’ll then multiply by
the number of scrapes you intend to do.

Watch this video for a few helpful tips. And don't forget that choosing a higher
plan will save you money in the long run.

WANT TO SCRAPE FACEBOOK REVIEWS OR GROUPS?

You can use the dedicated scrapers below if you want to scrape specific Facebook
data. Each of them is built particularly for the relevant Facebook scraping case
be it a group, reviews, comments or photos. Feel free to browse them:

* Facebook Comments Scraper
* Facebook Groups Scraper
* Facebook Posts Scraper
* Facebook Reviews Scraper

INTEGRATIONS AND FACEBOOK EVENTS SCRAPER

Last but not least, Facebook Events Scraper can be connected with almost any
cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can
integrate with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google
Drive, and more. Or you can use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an
event occurs, e.g. get a notification whenever Facebook Events Scraper
successfully finishes a run.

USING FACEBOOK EVENTS SCRAPER WITH THE APIFY API

The Apify API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is
organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and
run Apify actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor actor
performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more.

To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the
API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package.

Check out the Apify API reference docs for full details or click on the API tab
for code examples.

IS IT LEGAL TO SCRAPE FACEBOOK EVENTS DATA?

Our Facebook scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such
as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has
chosen to share publicly. However, you should be aware that your results could
contain personal data. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a
legitimate reason to do so.

If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You
can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping and ethical
scraping.

NEED OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SCRAPERS?

We have many more social media related scrapers for you to try, such as Facebook
Pages Scraper, Instagram Scraper, Twitter Scraper, TikTok Scraper or Reddit
Scraper. If you're interested in those, browse the Social media Category in
Apify Store.

NOT YOUR CUP OF TEA? BUILD YOUR OWN SCRAPER

Facebook Events Scraper doesn’t exactly do what you need? You can always build
your own! We have various scraper templates in Python, JavaScript, and
TypeScript to get you started. Alternatively, you can write it from scratch
using our open-source library Crawlee. You can keep the scraper to yourself or
make it public by adding it to Apify Store (and find users for it).

Or let us know if you need a custom scraping solution.

YOUR FEEDBACK

We’re always working on improving the performance of our Actors. So if you’ve
