## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

The Meetup Groups Info Scraper is a specialized tool designed to gather detailed information about Meetup groups.

Whether you're a marketer analyzing community growth, an event manager tracking group activities, or a researcher studying engagement in specific domains, this tool helps you easily extract Meetup group data.

### Description 💬💯🎨

The Meetup Groups Info Scraper allows you to extract key details about Meetup groups based on search parameters like keywords, city, country, and more. It's perfect for understanding community engagement, analyzing group trends, and tracking the popularity of specific topics.

Simply input the parameters, and the tool will retrieve valuable data such as:

```
Group Name 🧑‍💼
Group Description 📝
City 📍
Country 🌍
Group Link 🌐
Private or Public Group 🔒
Number of Members 👥
```

### How Many Groups Can You Scrape? 🔍

You can scrape as many Meetup groups as needed, depending on the number of parameters you provide and the maximum number of groups specified (e.g., 80).

Set the search criteria and let the tool gather group data for you.

### Key Features ✨

- Flexible Search Criteria 🔑: Search groups by keywords, city, country, maximum number of groups, and distance.

- Comprehensive Group Data 📝: Retrieve detailed information such as group name, description, location, and number of members.

- Location-based Search 📍: Narrow down search results by city and country, and choose a specific distance range (e.g., 10 miles).

### 💸 Pricing

This scraper operates on a monthly subscription basis, priced at $17.99/month.

### How to Use? 📲

Using the Meetup Groups Info Scraper is simple:

maxitems = 80
distance = "10 miles"  # Choose from: "Any", "2 miles", "5 miles", "10 miles", "25 miles", "50 miles", "100 miles"

  ],

  "country": "GB",
  "maxItemsPerKeyword": 60,

apify call scrapestorm/meetup-groups-info-scraper---fast-cheap --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapestorm/meetup-groups-info-scraper---fast-cheap"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
