## Pricing
from $2.50 / 1,000 results
This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?
An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.
For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.
Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
# README
## Meetup Scraper
**Meetup events and groups β dates, venues, ticket prices, RSVPs, hosts, members and ratings β as clean JSON.**
Meetup is where local communities organise in person and online: tech talks, hiking clubs, language
exchanges, founder mixers. This Actor reads Meetup's public search, topic, group and event pages, or
searches a topic in a city, and returns every event with its start and end time, time zone, venue
name, address and coordinates, ticket price, how many people are going, the waitlist, attendee
limit, hosts, topics, category, its group and the group's size, plus the description as plain text
and as Markdown. Groups come with their member count, city, organizer, rating, founding date,
topics, social links and upcoming events. There is no login, no API key, and no proxy to configure.
Built for event marketers and sponsors, community and developer-relations teams, venue and
hospitality sales, and anyone mapping local communities.
### β‘ Quick start
```json
{
"startUrls": [
{ "url": "https://www.meetup.com/find/us--ny--new-york/machine-learning/" }
],
"maxItems": 5
}
```
Or search a topic in a city:
```json
{
"searchTerms": ["python", "hiking"],
"location": "Berlin, Germany",
"type": "events"
}
```
### 𧩠Input
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| -------------------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `startUrls` | array | no | β | Meetup pages: a topic search in a city (`/find/us--ny--new-york/python/`), a city's events (`/find/us--ny--new-york/`), a find URL from the search box (`/find/?keywords=β¦&location=β¦`), a topic's groups (`/topics/python/us/`), a group (`/pydatanyc/`), its upcoming or past events (`/pydatanyc/events/`, `/pydatanyc/events/?type=past`) or an event page. |
| `searchTerms` | array | no | β | Meetup topics to search for, such as `python` or `machine learning`. Events are searched in `location`; groups are listed for the location's country. |
| `location` | string | no | β | Where to search: `New York, NY` for a US city, `Berlin, Germany` elsewhere, or Meetup's own form such as `us--ny--new-york`. Required when searching events. |
| `type` | string | no | `"events"` | What the search terms look for: `events` in the location, or `groups` β the topic's largest and newest groups in the location's country (the US when no location is given). |
| `maxItems` | integer | no | β | Maximum number of events or groups per start URL or search term. The input form starts at 5; leave it empty to get every result the page lists. |
| `includeDetails` | boolean | no | `true` | Open every event or group page for the full record (end time, coordinates, hosts, topics and group size for events; description, rating, organizer and upcoming events for groups). Turn it off for faster list-only rows. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | no | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Proxy settings. Meetup pages need no proxy. |
**Which pages work.** A topic search in a city returns the events Meetup lists for it, most relevant
first. A city page returns its upcoming, today's, this weekend's and featured events. A topic page
returns the topic's 10 largest and 6 newest groups in a country. A group's events page returns its
upcoming events in date order, or with `?type=past` its 10 most recent past events. A group page
returns the group; an event page returns the event.
### π€ Output
Each event is one dataset row with `itemType` `event`; each group is one row with `itemType`
`group`. With `includeDetails` on (the default) every row comes from the event's or group's own
page; with it off, rows come straight from the list and fields the list does not show are `null`.
