| Note: Meetup changed its API access in February 2025. API keys and all integrations need to transition to GraphQL. If you haven't transitioned yet, please follow the steps outlined in our Meetup API migration guide. |
Meetup's API makes it possible for developers to securely build integrations with Meetup. Before applying to use Meetup's API, please review our API license terms.
If you need help using the API, our first suggestion is to use our API documentation.
How do I apply for OAuth authorization?
OAuth is an authorization protocol that allows API applications to securely authenticate on a user's behalf. Only members with an active Meetup Pro subscription will be able to create new OAuth consumers.
Pro members can apply for an OAuth consumer to use Meetup's API. However, having a Pro subscription does not guarantee approval: Meetup reserves the right to deny or revoke licenses that do not abide by our API License Terms and usage guidelines under our sole discretion.
