Search Meetup groups by words around a city or a map point: name, link, description, city, member count, topics, category, rating and photo. Pass next_cursor back as cursor (null on the last page).

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

name	type	description
`q`required	string	Words to search group names and topics for. Example: `python`
`location`required	string	City or place name (e.g. `New York`). Use this or latitude and longitude. Example: `New York`
`latitude`	string	Latitude of the search point (use with longitude).
`longitude`	string	Longitude of the search point (use with latitude).
`radius`	integer	Search radius in miles.
`category_id`	integer	Meetup category id (e.g. 546 for Technology).
`cursor`	string	Value of `next_cursor` from the previous page.
`limit`	integer	Results per page (default 20, max 50).

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/meetup/v1/groups?q=python&location=New+York" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/meetup/v1/groups",
    params={"q": "python", "location": "New York"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/meetup/v1/groups");
url.searchParams.set("q", "python");
url.searchParams.set("location", "New York");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
