To install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rladies/meetupr")A released version will be on CRAN soon.
As of August 15, 2019, Meetup.com switched from an API key based authentication system to OAuth 2.0, so we now support OAuth authentication. The functions all have a api_key argument which is no longer used and will eventually be deprecated. In order to use this package, you can use our built-in OAuth credentials (recommended), or if you prefer, you can supply your own by setting the meetupr.consumer_key and meetupr.consumer_secret variables.
Each time you use the package, you will be prompted to log in to your meetup.com account. The first time you run any of the meetupr functions in your session, R will open a browser window, prompting you to "Log In and Grant Access" (to the meetupr "application").
We currently have the following functions:
get_members()get_boards()get_events()get_event_attendees()get_event_comments()get_event_rsvps()find_groups()
Each will output a tibble with information extracted into from the API as well as a list-col named *_resource with all API output. For example, the following code will get all upcoming events for the R-Ladies San Francisco meetup.
library(meetupr)
urlname <- "rladies-san-francisco"
events <- get_events(urlname, "past")
#> Meetup is moving to OAuth *only* as of 2019-08-15. Set
#> `meetupr.use_oauth = FALSE` in your .Rprofile, to use
#> the legacy `api_key` authorization.
