Meetup Scraper

🤝 Meetup Scraper

Extract events and groups from Meetup.com in any city, state, country or the whole world, or from any group. Each event comes with date and local time, venue, address, GPS and Google Maps link, fee, people going, capacity and spots left, topics and hosts, plus the group behind it: members, rating, founding date, organizer, and its website, Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok. Filter by category, keyword, date, in person or online, price, people going, group size, and open RSVP. Turn on the attendee list for each event's public RSVPs, or switch the output to groups for one row per group.

👉 Try it now: press Start. The ready-made input gives you 10 results in a few seconds.
💰 $0.017 per result on the Free plan (10 results per run), from $0.015 on paid plans. See pricing

✨ Why this scraper?

• Fast
  1,000 events in about 25 seconds, 500 with attendee lists in under a minute.

• Complete
  Meetup's search quietly drops events on long result pages; this Actor reads busy places in small time slices, so a city gives you every event, not just the first few hundred.

• Countries and the world
  Searches whole countries, states and continents, and keeps only events inside the country you asked for.

• Lead-ready
  Group socials as clean, clickable links (Meetup's placeholders and broken links are cleaned up), organizer profile and bio.

• No proxy needed
  Nothing extra to set up or pay for.

• Any place
  A city ("Berlin"), "City, Country", a state ("Texas"), a country ("Germany"), Worldwide, or "latitude, longitude". Several in one run.

• Apify platform
  Schedule runs, get only new results, export to Excel or CSV, use the API, or connect Google Sheets, Zapier and Make.

❓ FAQ and troubleshooting

Is there a Meetup API? Do I need an API key?

Meetup has no public data API for this. This Actor works as a Meetup API alternative: it reads the public pages and gives you clean JSON, CSV or Excel, with no API key, no login and no code to maintain. You can also call it from your own code with the Apify API, or from an AI agent through MCP: claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=normdata/meetup-scraper"

Why do I get only 10 results?

On the Apify free plan each run saves up to 10 results, so you can try it before paying. Any paid plan removes the limit.

A place was skipped

Add the country ("Valencia, Spain"), or type "latitude, longitude".

Online events show up in a city search

Meetup lists online events run by local groups. Set In person or online to "In person only" to skip them.

Is this an official Meetup tool?

No. It is independent and not affiliated with Meetup. It reads only data Meetup publishes on its public pages, at a moderate pace. Use the data in line with Meetup's terms and the laws that apply to you.
