# About



⚠️ This project uses meetup.com's GraphQL server endpoints which is using [persistedQueries](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/performance/apq/) as such changes on their side can easily break this tool. This is fixable, but it works for me when I use it, so I'm too lazy to do it at the moment 🦥 ⚠️️️

# Usage



## Docker



If you don't want to worry about what version of `bun` etc. to use, just start the script using docker:



```bash

# this will take a lot of time to download dependecies etc. so be patiernt

docker run -it -v `pwd`:/app -w/app $(docker build -q .)

```



## Local



This assumes you have both chrome and bun installed. If you don't have bun installed, check out these [installation instructions](https://bun.sh/docs/installation).



```bash

bun install

bunx @puppeteer/browsers install chrome@stable --path $HOME/.cache/puppeteer

bun run fetch-meetup-group-statistics.ts

```



## Result



If everything goes well you should be queried about your meetup username, password and group's name. The source code is trivial, check what it does and don't trust scripts on the internet 😉



After running the scripts (depending on the number of members this can take several minutes, because I added delay in-between requests in order to be nice to meetup servers) you should two files called `members.tsv` and `past-events.tsv`. Those files can easily be imported into Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets etc. for further analysis.



Requests are cached in a `.cache` folder. If this is not desired, delete the folder before running the script (or delete only the `.cache/members.json` and `.cache/events.json` and keep all other ones, because they are timestamped).
