would love to see an update to this api. thanks!

I used to use the client library with pleasure until a few months ago. The first step of the protocol fails with a 403 Forbidden. The text on the page says:

The owner of this website (www.meetup.com) has banned your access based on your browser's signature

Cheers,

GetEvent(id) insists on a numeric id. Yet most of my groups have non-numeric fields for next_event. For example:

>>> g=client.GetGroup({'urlname': 'MilSpouseCoders-NOVA-Northern-Virginia'})
29/30 (10 seconds remaining)
>>> g
<meetup.api.MeetupObject object at 0x7ff2390657d0>
>>> g.__dict__
....
 'next_event': {u'id': **u'ckgxmpyxhbkb**',
                u'name': u'MilSpouseCoders Evening Code Edition!',
                u'time': 1525734000000,
                u'utc_offset': -14400000,
                u'yes_rsvp_count': 6},
....
>>> e=client.GetEvent({'id': 'ckgxmpyxhbkb'})
29/30 (10 seconds remaining)
>>> e
<meetup.api.MeetupObject object at 0x7ff2390a7850>
>>> pprint.PrettyPrinter().pprint(e.__dict__)
{'code': u'invalid_param',
 **'details': u"Value for 'id' is invalid: All values must be integers"**,
 'problem': u'An invalid parameter value was requested'}

So how can I get details on the next_event for a Group, if the id doesn't work for GetEvent() ?

Thanks meetup for making this Python API client!

I am hoping that you can release it as open source software, with a license, so that people have a clear understanding that they can distribute and use this code.

A very common such license is the Apache License 2.0. I'm happy to help with this process, if you have questions about that.

http://choosealicense.com/ is a website from the nice people at @github.

More info from GitHub Help: "Generally speaking, the absence of a license means that the default copyright laws apply. This means that you retain all rights to your source code and that nobody else may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work. This might not be what you intend." https://help.github.com/articles/open-source-licensing

I'm happy to help if you have any questions. Thanks oodles for writing and sharing this code! The generosity of companies like Meetup is what makes open source flourish.
