Python API Client

See http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/clients/ as a reference.

Sample use:

from meetup import meetup_api_client as mac
from meetup import *

#
# in script to get set up authentication ...
#

try:
  yredir = [URL to your site which will accept the redirect and get the oauth code]
  mucli = mac.MeetupOAuth(MEETUP_OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, MEETUP_OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET)
  meetup_session = mucli.new_session()
  meetup_session.fetch_request_token(yredir)
  request.session['meetup_session'] = {}
  request.session['meetup_session']['request_key'] = meetup_session.request_token.key
  request.session['meetup_session']['request_secret'] = meetup_session.request_token.secret
  yauthurl = meetup_session.get_authorize_url()
except:    
  return render_to_response('meetup/error.html',{'message': "meetup authentication setup failed", 'additional_info': sys.exc_info()})
return redirect(yauthurl)

in script that gets redirected to -

try: 
   mucli = mac.MeetupOAuth(MEETUP_OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY, MEETUP_OAUTH_CONSUMER_SECRET)
   request_key =  request.session['meetup_session']['request_key']
   request_secret = request.session['meetup_session']['request_secret']
   meetup_session = mucli.new_session(request_key=request_key, request_secret=request_secret)
   memberid = meetup_session.fetch_access_token(verifier)
   request.session['meetup_session']['access_key'] = meetup_session.access_token.key
   request.session['meetup_session']['access_secret'] = meetup_session.access_token.secret   
except:
  render_to_response('meetup/error.html',{'message': "meetup authentication failed", 'additional_info': sys.exc_info()})
try:
  f = mucli.get_members(member_id=memberid, sess=meetup_session)
 
except:
  render_to_response('meetup/error.html',{'message': "get_members meetup authentication failed", 'additional_info': sys.exc_info()})

g = mucli.get_groups(member_id=memberid,sess=meetup_session)
groupname = g.results[0].name
events = g.results[0].get_events(mucli,status="past,upcoming",sess=meetup_session)

members = mucli.get_members(group_id=groupid, sess=meetup_session)
mpurl = members.results[3].photo_url

... and so on ...

This branch owes a lot to the following which it has unashamedly stolen bits from:

The orignial:
https://github.com/meetup/python-api-client

Dwight Gunning
https://github.com/dwightgunning/meetup-api

Jofusa
https://github.com/jofusa/python-api-clients

The functionality added is mainly to use version 2 of the API, as well as handle bad unicode coming back from Meetup without dying.
