Pull everything Meetup knows about any group — members, organizer, ratings, social profiles, contact info, GPS coordinates, and more — from a simple URL. No login. No API key. No limits.

What You Get

Every run returns 35+ structured fields per group. The highlights:

Audience & engagement — member count, average event rating, total ratings, and a sample of active member names so you can gauge both size and community health at a glance.

Full contact surface — emails and phone numbers extracted directly from the group description, plus the organizer's name, ID, and profile photo. No more manually scanning pages to find who to reach.

Social media in one object — Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Flickr, and Tumblr links returned as a structured object keyed by platform. Evaluate a group's full digital footprint instantly.

Location, down to the coordinates — city, state, country, ZIP, timezone, and exact latitude/longitude. Ready for geospatial analysis, proximity filtering, or mapping.

Group DNA — founding date, topic tags, topic category, join mode (OPEN vs. APPROVAL), privacy status, subscription tier, and cover photo URL.

Descriptions, two ways — raw HTML and clean Markdown, ready for database storage or LLM ingestion without preprocessing.

External URLs — every non-Meetup, non-social link in the description, surfacing Discord servers, WhatsApp groups, personal sites, and other tools the organizer uses.

Input

{
"groupUrls":[
"https://www.meetup.com/ny-tech/",
"https://www.meetup.com/london-elite-social/"
]
}

Paste URLs directly from your browser. Sub-pages like /ny-tech/events/ are handled automatically — the group slug is extracted from the first path segment. Invalid or non-existent groups are reported as errors without stopping the rest of the run.

Who Uses This

Sponsorship & partnerships teams use membersCount, rating, and ratingTotal to separate genuinely engaged communities from inflated headcounts — then use contactInfo.emails to reach the organizer directly.

Recruiters filter by topics to find communities where their target candidates self-organize, then use sampleMemberNames as a starting point for LinkedIn research and organizerName as a referral source.

Event tech companies use status (paid vs. free plan), joinMode, and otherUrls to qualify organizers as sales leads and understand what tools they already use.

Community managers benchmark against competitors on member count, rating, and topic coverage — using foundedDate to understand growth velocity relative to their own.

Researchers combine lat/lon, foundedDate, and topicCategoryName to map community formation across cities and time.

Investors doing due diligence independently verify claimed audience sizes, engagement depth, and community maturity for any company that runs Meetup groups.

Why Not the Official Meetup API?

Meetup's official API requires a paid Pro subscription and returns a fraction of what this scraper provides. Contact extraction, Markdown descriptions, social media aggregation, sample member names, external URL discovery, event ratings — none of it is available through official channels.

Every run queries Meetup live. No caching. No stale data.
