Profile events

When to use this

Pass a Page or profile url. type=upcoming (the default) lists the next events, soonest first; type=past the latest ended ones, newest first. Returns the first page Facebook shows logged-out visitors, up to 8 events, plus total_count, the number of events of that type. There's no cursor: later pages need Facebook's GraphQL, which it refuses to our servers. A profile without events returns an empty list; one Facebook won't show logged-out visitors returns 404 not_found or 403 not_public.

Parameters

All parameters go in the query string.

Example request

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your key, or set LURKAPI_KEY for the code. Get a free key.

curl "https://api.lurkapi.com/v1/facebook/profile/events?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F930club" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  url: "https://www.facebook.com/930club",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.lurkapi.com/v1/facebook/profile/events?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.LURKAPI_KEY },
});
const data = await res.json();
if (!data.success) throw new Error(`${data.code}: ${data.error}`);
console.log(data.events);

import os
import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.lurkapi.com/v1/facebook/profile/events",
    params={
        "url": "https://www.facebook.com/930club",
    },
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["LURKAPI_KEY"]},
    timeout=60,
)
data = res.json()
if not data["success"]:
    raise RuntimeError(f"{data['code']}: {data['error']}")
print(data["events"])

Example response

A real response from this endpoint, captured from the live API and trimmed to a couple of items. Strings over 96 characters (mostly signed media URLs) are cut short and end in ….

Response fields

Every field of a successful response. [] marks a list: a[].b is the b of each item in a. nullable fields can be null; optional fields can be missing.

Caching and freshness

Responses are cached for up to 1 hour, so a repeat call within that window can return the same data. It still costs 1 credit.

Errors

Errors return { success: false, error, code, docs } with the HTTP status below. Validation errors, 401/402/429 rejections and 5xx failures are free; not_found is charged (how charging works). All error codes.

Use it in Claude

Once LurkAPI is connected to Claude, this endpoint is the facebook_profile_events tool. Ask in plain English, for example:

Use LurkAPI's facebook_profile_events with url "https://www.facebook.com/930club" and summarize what you find.

Claude calls facebook_profile_events with arguments like these, and each call costs 1 credit:

{
  "url": "https://www.facebook.com/930club"
}

Tool results are compact to save tokens: no nulls or empty lists, one URL per image or video, transcripts as plain text unless you pass timestamps=true. A result over 45,000 characters comes in parts: its _note gives the offset for the rest, and later parts are free for 15 minutes. trim=false returns the full response.
