A simple Ruby gem to access the Meetup API.
Sample code is worth a thousand words:
RMeetup::Client.api_key = "API_KEY" results = RMeetup::Client.fetch(:events,{:zip => "ZIP_CODE"}) results.each do |result| # Do something with the result end
RMeetup::Client.fetch takes a data model type and set of options as arguments. Possible data models are:
-
:topics
-
:cities
-
:members
-
:rsvps
-
:events
-
:groups
-
:comments
-
:photos
The options that may be passed can be found on the Meetup API documentation. Please see www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/ and look up the model that you are calling (i.e. for :events, look at the API call “GET /events” at www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/events/).
gem install rMeetup
Credit goes to Jared Pace for building the initial iteration of this gem. I just forked it, expanded and documented it a bit.
