Steps
Note that Meetup retired its open REST API in February 2025; all programmatic access is now via GraphQL, and meaningful data access generally requires a paid Meetup Pro (organizer) plan.
Obtain an OAuth2 access token via Meetup's OAuth2 server flow and send it as a Bearer credential in the Authorization header on GraphQL requests.
Query group/event data (upcoming events, event details) using the queries documented at meetup.com/graphql/guide.
Query RSVP/registration answers for a specific event with the eventRegistrationAnswers query (or the current equivalent RSVP-related query in the schema).
Treat lightweight public-page data (RSVP counts, member counts visible on group/event pages) as informational only — it is not a supported API surface and shouldn't be relied on for production integrations.
Known gotchas
Access to the GraphQL API beyond your own organized groups effectively requires a paid Meetup Pro subscription — this is a real cost gate, not just an API signup form.
The old REST API (api.meetup.com) is retired as of Feb 2025; any integration guide still referencing it is stale.
Rate limits and available fields are tied to your OAuth app/plan tier — confirm current limits in the live guide before building at scale.
