Overview
Meetup.com API lets you access event and group data from the Meetup platform using GraphQL. You can query upcoming events, group details, and member information to build event discovery apps. It requires an API key and uses the GraphQL query language instead of traditional REST endpoints.
Beginner Tip
Meetup uses GraphQL, so you send POST requests with a query string in the body rather than using different URL paths — try the interactive GraphQL explorer in their docs to build queries visually.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.
{
"status": "success",
"data": {
"result": "Data from Meetup.com",
"description": "Data about Meetups from Meetup.com",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z"
}
} Field Reference
data The root container for all GraphQL response data data.self.id The unique identifier of the authenticated Meetup user data.self.name Display name of the authenticated user errors Present only when the query fails; each item contains a message field describing what went wrong Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://www.meetup.com/api/guide";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
