Meetup Scraper

Scrape Meetup.com events, RSVPs and group organizers from any keyword + city or /find/ search URL. This Meetup events scraper (also a Meetup group scraper and event-organizer lead extractor) reads Meetup's own public event data, so you get every field with no login and no API key, and export it to CSV, JSON or Excel.

It is two tools in one: an events dataset for market research, calendars and dashboards, and an organizer lead engine — every event carries its group, member count and organizer name, so one run becomes a targeted outreach list of active community builders.

What you get

One clean row per Meetup event, with these fields:

• Event — id, title, eventUrl, dateTime (start), endTime, eventType (physical/online), isOnline, rsvpState, goingCount (RSVP / attendees), maxTickets, imageUrl, description
• Price — isFree, priceAmount, priceCurrency, paymentMethod
• Venue & geo — venueName, venueAddress, venueCity, venueState, venueCountry, venuePostalCode, latitude, longitude
• Group & organizer leads — groupName, groupUrl, groupUrlname, groupCity, groupState, groupCountry, groupTimezone, groupMemberCount, organizerName, organizerUrl
• scrapedAt — ISO timestamp of extraction

Export every row as CSV, JSON or Excel (also HTML / API) — straight into your CRM, spreadsheet, BI tool or data pipeline.

Use cases

• Event-organizer lead gen — build outreach lists of active community organizers by topic and city, complete with group URL and member count.
• Market & community research — track which topics, cities and groups are growing, and at what price.
• Event aggregators & calendars — power a niche events site or newsletter from a scheduled run.
• Sponsorship & partnerships — find groups with the right size and audience to sponsor.
• Competitive analysis — monitor rival meetups, attendance and pricing over time.

How to use

2. Set maxResults (use 0 for no limit) and pick a sort order.

FAQ

Do I need a Meetup account or API key?

No. The actor reads Meetup's own public event data — no login, no API key, no Meetup Pro subscription required.

How do I scrape a specific city or topic?

Either type a keyword + location (e.g. "web3" + "Berlin"), or go to meetup.com/find, run your search, and paste the address-bar URL into searchUrls. You can mix many URLs in one run.

Does it get the RSVP / attendee count?

Yes. Every event includes its goingCount (people going), plus the group's total groupMemberCount.

Does it include online events and event price?

Yes. Each row has an isOnline flag and an eventType, plus isFree, priceAmount and priceCurrency for paid events, so you can filter either way.

Is this a Meetup API alternative?

Yes. It reads Meetup.com's own public event data with no login and no API key, so it works as a Meetup API alternative when you just need structured event and group data out.

How do I export Meetup events to CSV or JSON?

Run a search, then open the Output / Dataset tab and download the results as CSV, JSON or Excel. This makes Meetup data export to a spreadsheet, CRM or pipeline a one-click step.

Can I scrape Meetup without login to get organizer leads?

Yes. The scraper pulls events without any account, and each row carries groupName, groupMemberCount, organizerName and organizerUrl so one run doubles as a Meetup organizer leads list.
