## Pricing

from $10.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

### FAQ

**What does this Actor return?**
Structured community events and meetup events data for a city — title, date/time, description, event type, host group (name + rating), attendance counts, and any contact or social links surfaced on the event.

**Can I get the group/organizer behind an event?**
This Actor focuses on events. For group-level data (named organizer, member count, group social links), use the companion [Meetup Groups](https://apify.com/aitorsm/meetup-groups) actor.

**Do I need a Meetup account or an API key?**
No. You only enter a city (and optionally a country, state, category and keywords); the Actor returns the full structured record for every matching public event — attendance counts, host group rating, and any contact and social links shown on the event — with no account, API key or quota to manage.

**Can I export the results to CSV or Excel?**
Yes. Every run produces a dataset you can download as CSV, Excel, JSON, or HTML directly from the Apify Console (or via the API), so the events drop straight into a spreadsheet, BI tool, or CRM.

**Can I filter by city, date, or keyword?**
Yes. Scope a run by `city` + `country` (and optional `state`), narrow it with `keywords`, and cap volume with `maxItems`. Each returned event carries its `dateTime`, so date-window filtering is a one-step pass on the output.

**Can I combine it with other event data?**
Yes. Shared event fields make it easy to merge Meetup community events with broader event data from the related actors below.

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).
