noob question - why does :urlname fail in the console?

[Dennis Woo]

I'm in the heat of a hackathon so I'm just learning this API. On this simple get:

https://api.meetup.com/Seattle-Spark-Meetup

it's returning

No API method exists with a path like /Seattle-Spark-Meetup. Try clicking one of the methods to the right.

but it's fine returning something like:

/find/groups?text=seattle-spark

HTTP/1.1 200 success {

• "0": {
• "score": 5557,
• "id": 12063092,
• "name": "Seattle Spark Meetup",
• "link": "https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Spark-Meetup/",
• "urlname": "Seattle-Spark-Meetup",
• ...

/The urlname is clearly "Seattle-Spark-Meetup" -- why am I getting the error not just for this instance but any :urlname?

Hi Dennis, 

:urlname services as path variable in the request within the console. The form fields in the console allow you do provide a value for that variable. I think this is what you are looking for

https://secure.meetup.com/meetup_api/console/?path=/:urlname&:urlname=Seattle-Spark-Meetup

 

dennis!
