⚠️ Notes & Limitations

• Demo / Placeholder Data – The current version uses simulated data for demonstration. A production version would implement actual HTML parsing of Meetup pages.
• Rate Limits – Meetup may limit request frequency. Use residential proxies and delays.
• Compliance – Respect Meetup’s robots.txt and terms of service. This tool is intended for legitimate research.
• Event Selection – Currently extracts the most relevant event; future versions may support multiple events per group.
