# **WARNING:** Methods to sync TO Meetup have not been completed.
#    So any changes to the database are local.

TIME_ZONE = "UTC"

# (optional) This key is standard Django. The meetup package stores times
# in "UTC" but methods to view the time will set to TIME_ZONE as the default
# for that view

To sync group events

To sync up a group, from the command line run

py manage.py sync_group_events <group_id>

How it works

Meetup.com. provides an api which a Meetup.com member can access via api.meetup.com..

This package implements a MeetupClient which uses a meetup member’s meetup api key.. The client can query the meetup api and get back dictionaries of “meetup data”. Note that member permissions on Meetup.com apply to the members api queries.

Models made to mimic hypothesized meetup.com database tables can take the client’s data and turn them into local database objects.

The developer can then use the models to post information onto their webpage.

Other resources

Other resources to consider for requesting/posting data from Meetup.com

• python-api-client..

• signed requests using javascript..

Note: In the project I developed this for I decided to go with a smaller app which doesn’t store local information is more like the python-api-client.. . The project is located at github.com/SLCPython/slcpy.com.. if you want to see the actual implementation. Cheers!
