Meetup Find Events RSS

Generates an RSS feed of upcoming events on Meetup. This makes it easier to be informed of meetups even in groups you don’t participate in.

The program is designed to run locally at a recurring interval (via cron or launchd for example), generating an XML feed file.

Usage

The following shell script generates a new feed and writes it to the meetup-upcoming.xml file:

#!/bin/sh

meetup-find-events-rss \
	--meetup-api-token YOUR_TOKEN \
	--latitude 48.8692 \
	--longitude 2.34777 \
	--end-date 2018-04-15 \
	> ~/meetup-upcoming.xml

A Meetup API token can be obtained from https://secure.meetup.com/meetup_api/key/.

Example

Here's a demonstration of the result of the above script in Newsboat.

echo "file://$HOME/meetup-upcoming.xml" >> ~/.newsboat/urls
