Meetup Groups Scraper w/ Contact Info

Search Meetup.com by keyword and location. Get rich, structured data on up to 500 groups — no login, no API key, no browser required.

Whether you're scouting communities in a new city, mapping your competitive landscape, or building a lead list, this scraper hands you everything you need: member counts, founding dates, GPS coordinates, topic tags, join modes, group URLs, and more. All live, all structured, ready to export.

What You Can Do With It

Find your people before you land

Moving to a new city? Search yoga, expat, board games, or hiking near your destination and arrive with a curated shortlist of communities — complete with size, age, and direct links to join.

Map the competitive landscape

Running a Meetup group? Search your niche and see exactly who's competing for the same audience. membersCount and foundedDate tell you who's big and who's been around — and what's being underserved.

Build pre-qualified lead lists

Every Meetup group is a self-selected audience. B2B teams can find agile, product management, or DevOps communities to target with sponsorships and outreach. B2C brands can zero in on lifestyle groups where their customers already gather.

Source talent where it concentrates

Search Python, UX design, or React near your office. Every member of a tech Meetup has already raised their hand to say: this is what I care about. That's more signal than any boolean LinkedIn search.

Spot content trends before they go mainstream

Track which topic tags are appearing on fast-growing groups across cities. When AI Ethics keeps showing up on new tech meetups, you know what to write about next.

Research community formation at scale

With GPS coordinates, founding dates, member counts, ratings, organizer details, social links, and topic tags for up to 500 groups per run, you have the raw material for geospatial clustering, longitudinal growth analysis, and network research — exportable to JSON, CSV, or any format your workflow needs.

What You Get

Every group returns 30+ fields of structured data:

Why This Scraper

Meetup's official API is locked behind a paid Pro subscription — and even then it's rate-limited and narrow in scope. This scraper accesses the same live data through Meetup's public interface, with zero setup: no account, no login, no API key.

You also get capabilities the official API doesn't offer at all: adjustable search radius, category filtering, lat/lon input, and ZIP code search. The data is live on every run — member counts, descriptions, and group status reflect the current state of each group the moment you scrape.

Results export in JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML, and RSS. Plug directly into Google Sheets, Airtable, or any workflow via Zapier, Make, or webhooks.

FAQ

Do I need a Meetup account? No. This scraper only accesses publicly available group data. No account, login, or cookies required.

What locations are supported? Any location on Earth — city name, lat/lon pair, or ZIP/postal code. All inputs are geocoded automatically.

How fresh is the data? Live. Every run queries Meetup directly, so member counts, descriptions, and statuses reflect the current state of each group.

How is this different from the Meetup Events Scraper? Groups are persistent communities. Events are individual meetups tied to dates. Use this scraper to understand the community landscape; use the Events Scraper to find what's happening next week. For maximum coverage, use both.

What categories can I filter by? Art & Culture, Career & Business, Community & Environment, Dancing, Games, Health & Wellbeing, Hobbies & Passions, Identity & Language, Movements & Politics, Music, Parents & Family, Pets & Animals, Religion & Spirituality, Science & Education, Social Activities, Sports & Fitness, Support & Coaching, Technology, Travel & Outdoor, and Writing.

How many groups can I get in one run? Up to 500. The default is 50 — a good starting point for most searches. Run multiple times with different keywords or locations and combine the results for broader coverage.
