FAQ

Why do some results not mention my keyword? Meetup also suggests related events. Turn on Only events mentioning the keyword to keep strict matches only.

Can I search any city? Yes. Enter latitude, longitude and a two-letter country code.

What formats can I export? CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, HTML and RSS, or read the results through the Apify API.

Can I integrate it with other apps? Yes. Meetup Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JS/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

Is it legal to scrape Meetup? The scraper only collects publicly listed event information and no personal data about attendees or organisers. You are responsible for using the data in line with Meetup's terms and applicable law.
