We’re reaching out with an important update about providing a better and more secure experience for all Meetup members. Here’s what you need to know:

Changes to our API access

API Keys will be replaced by OAuth: We will be removing API keys on August 15, 2019 and requiring you to authenticate with OAuth.
Move to OAuth soon for continued free API access: Until August 15, members will be able to apply for an OAuth consumer free of charge. After August 15, anyone who wants to apply for an OAuth consumer will need to have a Meetup Pro account in order to do so.
We’re removing API version 2: Before August 15, you will need to switch to API version 3. API version 2 will no longer be available. You can find more information on our API updates and answers to common questions on our Help Center.

We’re here to help: please visit the Help Center to contact us if you have questions. Thank you for helping make Meetup the best way to bring people together in real life.
