Meetup has migrated its public developer API to GraphQL, replacing the old REST endpoints with a single gql-ext endpoint for querying groups, events, RSVPs, and member data. Every client now registers an OAuth consumer and completes the standard authorization-code (or client-credentials) flow to obtain a bearer token — the legacy static per-account API keys no longer work.
AuthenticationOAuthRequires an OAuth flow; expect app registration.
HTTPSSupportedTraffic is encrypted in transit.
CORSEnabledCallable directly from browser JavaScript.
PricingFreeNo paid tier — free for the documented use case.
FormatsGraphQLResponses can be requested as GraphQL.
