📚 See event, group, and member records

The default dataset can contain three row shapes: event results, group results, and group member results. Optional fields appear when Meetup publishes them. Public source values are kept as returned, and missing values are not guessed.

Event rows

Event rows describe public upcoming Meetup events. They can include the event schedule, status, format, online or venue details, attendance, fees, topics, media, hosts, and the related group.

Group rows

Group rows describe public Meetup groups. They can include the group description, location, member count, category, privacy, rating, reviews, and public social links.

Group member rows

Group member rows contain publicly listed member profiles sampled from a submitted group. They can include the member name, profile link, username, bio, role, location, join date, photo, and related group.

▶️ Run a focused Meetup search

Choose one result type per run: Events, Groups, or Group members. Events can be found by keyword and location, by location, from event URLs, or from group URLs. Groups can be found by keyword and location or from group URLs. Group members are sampled from group URLs.

First-match handling

The Actor saves the first eligible event, group, or member occurrence as soon as it finds it. If the same source item appears again through another keyword, URL, or similar submitted value, the later match is ignored. The saved row keeps the source context from the first match only.

Limits

Maximum results is an optional positive limit. Leave it empty to return all available records until the source is exhausted. For Group members, the value is the number of member records to sample. The source may provide fewer records than the limit.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. An Event, Group, or Group member charge event applies when the matching public row is saved to the dataset. The current event price is shown in the Store pricing panel. The number of saved rows depends on your input and the public source data.

🔌 Integrations

Use the Apify API to start runs, read the default dataset, or pass structured rows into your own workflow. Apify also provides standard dataset export options.

❓ FAQ

Which result type should I choose?

Choose Events for upcoming event data, Groups for public group profiles, or Group members for publicly listed member profiles sampled from a group URL.

Can I find events without a keyword?

Yes. Choose the Location method and provide a city and country or a latitude and longitude. You can also start from a public group URL or event URL.

Can I submit direct event or group URLs?

Yes. Use Event URLs for public event pages and Group URLs for public group pages. Event filters such as format and date range do not change a direct event URL run.

What happens when I leave Maximum results empty?

The Actor returns all available records until the source is exhausted. The source may still provide fewer records than you expect, and Group members are sampled according to the available public member data.

How are duplicate records handled?

The first eligible event, group, or member occurrence is saved immediately. A later match from another keyword, URL, or similar submitted value is ignored, so the saved row keeps only the first match's source context.

What happens when Meetup does not show an optional field?

That field is left out of the row. The Actor does not guess missing descriptions, locations, attendance, fees, hosts, or profile details.

Does it read private or login-only Meetup pages?

No. It reads public Meetup data that is available to the run. Private, member-only, or login-gated details are outside the Actor's scope.

Does it return attendee identities or private contact details?

No. Event rows can include public attendance counts, and group member mode can return publicly listed member profiles. Private attendee identities, email addresses, and phone numbers are outside the scope.

Do I need a Meetup login or API key?

No. The Actor is designed to read public Meetup pages without a Meetup account, login, or API key.

Can I combine separate search setups in one run?

No. Use one result type and one coherent search setup per run. Run separate jobs for materially different keyword, location, URL, or filter settings.

Can it join groups or register people for events?

No. It reads public data only. It does not join groups, register for events, or manage RSVPs.
