Meetup Scraper: Upcoming Events, Groups and Venues

Meetup Scraper extracts upcoming events from Meetup.com, the world's largest platform for local groups and community events — tech meetups, startup and networking events, workshops, language exchanges, hiking and sports groups, social events and online webinars. Search by topic or keyword in 24 major cities (New York, San Francisco, London, Berlin, Toronto, Sydney, Singapore…) or any coordinates, filter in-person or online, and get for every event the title, start and end time, event type, full description, group name and link, venue name, address, city, country, coordinates, fee and currency, attendee count, photo and event link. Export to CSV, Excel or JSON. Ideal for event marketing, community and developer relations, sponsorship and venue sales, lead generation, event calendars and market research.
