Meetup API
Do more of what you love and meet like-minded people
Website
This API is best for developers looking to enhance their applications with meetup data or create new applications for people to connect and meet.
A developer would use the Meetup API to access data from the world's largest network of local Meetup groups, ranging from small hobbyist groups to large tech communities. With this API, you can gather event and attendee data, join or leave groups, and execute implied Meetup features, such as RSVP. Meetup's Pro platform additionally offers access to the Meetup API, with improvements in both data access and event promotion capabilities. This API provides endless opportunities for developers to build apps around local communities and bring people together.
Key features
- Access to Meetup data in JSON format
- Endpoints for finding and joining groups, getting event data, RSVPs, and member information
- Authentication and authorization for secure access to user data
- API console for testing and exploring endpoints
- Webhooks to receive real-time updates on events and RSVPs
Potential use cases
- Meetup Recommender: Use the Meetup API to suggest groups and events based on user interests and location. Machine learning algorithms can be used to build a recommender system that involves users' past Meetup event attendance or group join history
- Meetup Event Aggregator: Use the Meetup API to aggregate events across groups and locations to make it easier to find relevant events. This could be a tool to be used on other websites or as a mobile app for event discovery.
- Meetup Buddy Finder: Use the Meetup API to find buddy suggestions based on user event history or the current events they are planning to attend. Connect users with similar interests to help them engage with the wider community and attend events together.
The Meetup API has been amazing for our platform, allowing us to provide our users with more information about Meetup groups and make it super easy for them to join and participate in local events. The API has an incredibly in-depth documentation use-case which makes it a breeze to integrate with our existing code. We look forward to expanding our app features around the meetup data thanks to the Meetup API!
