HOW IT WORKS

From API key to Meetup data in four steps.

Run a sample below without a key.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore the API reference

Meetup API and scraping

What group and event data can I retrieve with the Meetup API?

Retrieve groups, individual events, event searches, group searches, group calendars and member summaries. Location and category lookups supply filter values for your discovery interface.

Can the Meetup API search for online or in-person events?

Event Search supports an attendance-format filter alongside keyword, location, category, distance and date range. Use these inputs to build a discovery view tailored to how and where someone wants to attend.

How do I scrape Meetup events by location and date?

Use Event Search with keywords and a location, then refine by category, distance, date range and attendance format. Request additional result pages with the returned cursor and use Event Details for a selected event.

Meetup: group discovery and event calendars

Can I search Meetup groups by topic and location?

Yes. Group Search accepts keywords, location, category and distance and returns community details and statistics. Locations resolves place names into searchable location values, while Categories provides the topic identifiers.

Can the Meetup API retrieve a group’s upcoming and past events?

Yes. Group Events accepts a group URL and an upcoming or past selection. The response includes event details, group identity, source totals and a continuation cursor for the next calendar page.

Can I retrieve Meetup venue, host and RSVP details?

Yes. Event Details returns the venue, hosts, dates, photos, fees and RSVP totals with the group information. Use these fields to build an event preview that explains where it takes place and who is organizing it.

API access and integration

How do I get a ScrapeAtlas API key and authenticate requests?

Create a ScrapeAtlas account and generate an API key in the dashboard. Send the key in the x-api-key request header when calling https://api.scrapeatlas.com. The API playground lets you enter an endpoint’s parameters and inspect its JSON response.

Can I call the scraping API from Python, JavaScript or the CLI?

Yes. Send authenticated HTTP requests from Python, JavaScript or another language that supports HTTP. The endpoint reference includes request examples and response fields. Use the ScrapeAtlas CLI for terminal workflows and pass the returned pagination values when requesting additional result pages.

Can I connect an AI assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server?

Yes. Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server to discover and call the public platform tools with your ScrapeAtlas account. The agent reference also gives coding assistants a readable guide to the endpoints and their request schemas.
