Eventbrite & Meetup Events Scraper

News & Research

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A location-and-keyword driven events scraper that searches Eventbrite and Meetup in a single run to produce normalized, deduplicated event records for a city and date range. Outputs per-event metadata including title/link/description and source, timing as timezone-aware ISO-8601 start/end timestamps, online/free flags and ticket price range with currency, venue details and geolocation (address, city, region, country, latitude/longitude), attendance and capacity figures (RSVPs or ticket limits), category and topic tags, image link, and organizer identity with follower/member counts and optional total events hosted; each record also indicates which keyword matched and when it was scraped. Technical capabilities include combined scraping of two sites without login or API keys, date-range and online/free filtering, per-site result limits, de-duplication across keywords per site, and an option to perform extra requests to fetch additional organizer details.

Call it via Sourcelane

curl -X POST https://api.usesourcelane.com/v1/call \

Request params

Field	Type	Required	Description
`location`	string	required	City to search, e.g. 'San Francisco, CA', 'London', 'Sydney, Australia'. Resolved separately on each site; the best match is used.
`keywords`	array	optional	Optional search terms, one per line (e.g. 'startup', 'yoga', 'wine tasting'). Each keyword is searched separately and results are de-duplicated. Leave empty to list all upcoming events in the location.
`dateRange`	string	optional	Only return events starting inside this window (evaluated in the location's local time zone).
`includeEventbrite`	boolean	optional	Search Eventbrite for matching events.
`includeMeetup`	boolean	optional	Search Meetup for matching events.
`onlineOnly`	boolean	optional	Return only virtual events. Note: Eventbrite online events are global (not tied to the location); Meetup online events are those promoted to the location.
`freeOnly`	boolean	optional	Return only events with free admission.
`maxItemsPerSource`	integer	optional	Maximum events to return from each site across all keywords. 0 = keep paginating until the site runs out of results (Eventbrite stops at about 1,000 per keyword) or the run times out.
`fetchOrganizerDetails`	boolean	optional	Open each organizer / group page once to fill in total events hosted and exact follower or member counts. Adds one extra request per unique organizer.
