Facebook Events Search API
Scrape Facebook Events Search data with one API call. Searches the public Facebook Events directory for events matching a keyword. Forward the returned cursor for additional pages.
Last updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns public Facebook events matching a keyword, each with name, date sentence, venue, cover photo, interested and going counts, and online and past flags.
Use it to find events by topic anywhere; filter on is_past yourself, since the directory also returns events that have already happened.
