Turning off your member dues will cancel existing dues subscriptions for all members.

Meetup may issue refunds from your Stripe account for Member Dues payments in cases of platform misuse. To read more about Meetup's Member Dues Refund Policy,

Share the cost of Meetup with Member Dues. When you set up dues, members must pay dues to join the group once their trial expires. Help members understand how dues will be used:

Any changes you make to the price will only affect new members. Existing members will continue to pay the original price, unless you turn off dues entirely and turn them back on, or they leave and rejoin the group.

You set the dues amount and frequency—monthly or annually. Your members securely set up payments to renew on their card, so it’s easier for them and you.

All your group's funds can be automatically deposited into your account so you can cover costs, pay fees, buy supplies, or make money as an organizer.

A failure response will contain an {highlight} encoded string with an {bold} property containing one of the following values

The {highlight} used here may vary but must start with the same {highlight} you have registered with your {link}.

API Terms Of Service

Meetup offers an application programming interface. These Meetup API License Terms govern the use of the Meetup API, and are in addition to the {terms_of_service}. Except as explicitly stated, the Meetup Terms of Service apply in full to all users of the Meetup API. In particular and for the avoidance of doubt, any terms herein are governed by the indemnification, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution terms set forth in Sections 7, 8, and 9 of the Meetup Terms of Service. All capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Meetup Terms of Service. See more in the full {license_terms}.

By accepting, you agree to our updated terms and policies. Please take a few minutes to read and understand them.

Updated Terms

Your groups

The Meetup API provides support for {link}. We require {bold} for all API access. If your application does not use HTTPS, our servers will respond with a 400 error and a message asking you to do so.

We provide implementations of both the {link1} and {link2} protocol flows. We provide the following endpoints for both where necessary.

Before you can use OAuth 2 for user authorization, you need to either {link1} a new OAuth consumer or add a {highlight} to your existing consumer by clicking the edit link next to you consumer`s {link2}. The {highlight} you register for a given client will be used to validate future oauth2 requests.

This uri is used as a basis for validating the address authorization requests will redirect a member to after granting or denying access to your app.

If provided, the redirect URL`s host and port must exactly match the callback URL. The redirect URL&s path must reference a subdirectory of the callback URL.
