Once you have pulled data from an API like the Meetup API you will need to load it into a database to make it easier to analyze.

We have pulled the data into JSON and are loading it into the MySQL db. This video focuses mostly on how to load data in MySQL and less on design. If your goal is OOP, then this is not the video for you.

This video is just free flowing code and creating a python script that can load data from the MeetUp api on groups into MySQL. You can use this video as a primer for how you could start to set up an automated scraper that pulls from Meetup.

Due to the fact that I mostly programming on the fly there are some points that I skipped through to save you the hassle of watch me debug any minor issues.


Once you have done that, you are pretty much set to go using the Meetup API. There is actually a python library for Meetup that you can pip install and then use import meetup.api. There are some benefits, but I think it is so easy to set up your own base scraper class that why limit your control.

Good luck on your data pulls!
