# Meetup Connector

## Intro

Meetup is an online social networking portal that facilitates offline group meetings in various localities around the world. Use Domo's Meetup connector to retrieve data about all aspects of Meetup meetings, including groups, ratings, topics, events, and so on. To learn more about the Meetup API, visit their page ([http://www.meetup.com/meetup\_api/](http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/)).

The Meetup connector is a "Cloud App" connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking **Cloud App** in the toolbar at the top of the window.

You connect to your Meetup account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Meetup connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Best Practices

This connector works best with the "Replace" update method if you are interested in recent data.

## Prerequisites

To connect to your Meetup account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

* The email address you entered when you signed up for Meetup
* Your Meetup password

Alternatively, you can log into your Meetup account using your Facebook or Google credentials.

## Connecting to Your Meetup Account

This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes in the Meetup Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

### Credentials Pane

The Domo Meetup connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click **Connect** (or select **Add Account** if you have existing Meetup accounts in Domo) to open the Meetup OAuth screen where you can enter the email address you entered when you signed up for Meetup, along with your Meetup password. You can also connect using Facebook or Google credentials. Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Meetup DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the **Accounts** tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see [Managing User Accounts for Connectors](/s/article/360042926054 "Managing User Accounts for Connectors").

<Note>
  **Note:** If you are already logged into Meetup when you connect in Domo, you are authenticated automatically when you click **Add account**. If you want to connect to an account that is different from the one you are logged into, you must first log out of Meetup.
</Note>

### Details Pane

This pane contains a primary **Reports** menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
