Meetup "Single Sign On" Feature

[Corey Giordana]

Hello again everyone,

I am just curious if Meetup offers some type of single sign on feature similar to what Facebook offers.  I have a customer that brings this up very often and feel I should investigate if there are options out there.

It would be a feature that allows users of a website to log into their account via their Meetup login credentials or through OAuth of some type I figure.

I appreciate your insight as always.

You can sign-in using Facebook.
That's the only other option at the moment.

I read the question as wanting to use meetup as an authentication for another website? Depending on the website's architecture, that is possibly doable. Not sure it's practical based on the current API offerings.

Facebook's Connect product is essentially a packaged client-side library for oauth. 

You can totally do this with Meetup's oauth 1 ( http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/auth/#oauth ) or oauth2 flows ( http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/auth/#oauth2 ). We do not how ever provide any prepackaged client-side code for this. There are a number of libraries in any given programming language for handling the oauth authentication dance which make this easier than starting from scratch.
