About Meetup

Meetup provides a GraphQL API for accessing event and group data from its platform. Requests are authenticated using bearer access tokens obtained through an OAuth2 server flow, sent via the Authorization header to the api.meetup.com/gql-ext endpoint.

The API exposes queries for retrieving events (including title, description, date, duration, hosts, photos, and RSVPs), groups, and Pro Network data such as member counts and group listings. It supports cursor-based pagination through a pageInfo object with an endCursor field, and allows filtering, for example searching for events with an "UPCOMING" status within a Pro Network.

The documentation is aimed at developers building integrations with Meetup, including those managing or querying data across a Meetup Pro Network of groups. It includes example queries, variables, curl commands, and sample JSON responses for common operations like fetching event details, listing groups, and paginating through search results.
