Export every attendee of a Meetup group's events to CSV — Chrome extension or one-click bookmarklet, running in your own logged-in session.

>_ EXPORT MEETUP ATTENDEES

Run this on a Meetup group's events page while signed in to your own account. It walks every event, pulls the RSVP / attendee list through Meetup's own API, and downloads an enriched CSV. Two ways to run it — pick one.

🧩 CHROME EXTENSION

The no-friction route. Download the extension and load it in developer mode (chrome://extensions → Load unpacked).

🔗 BOOKMARKLET — nothing to install

Drag the button to your bookmarks bar, or copy it into a new bookmark's URL field. Then click it on any Meetup group page.

🧭 HOW TO INSTALL THE BOOKMARKLET
  1. Click Copy bookmarklet above (or drag the button to your bookmarks bar).
  2. Open your browser's Bookmarks Manager (Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + O).
  3. Create a new bookmark and paste the code into the URL field.
  4. Name it Meetup Scraper and save.
  5. On a Meetup group's events page (logged in), scroll to load events, then click the bookmark.

Don't have a target group yet? Start with the Meetup Finder to surface the right communities, then come back here to pull the people.

>_ HOW IT WORKS
STEP 01

Install the extension or the bookmarklet

Grab the Chrome extension (loaded in dev mode) or copy the bookmarklet into a new bookmark. One-time setup, either works.

STEP 02

Open a Meetup group, logged in

Go to the group's past-events page while signed in to your own Meetup account, and scroll so the events you want load on screen.

STEP 03

Run it → CSV downloads

Launch the extension/bookmarklet. A small panel walks every event, pulls the RSVP/attendee list via Meetup's own API, and downloads an enriched CSV.

tipPair it with the Meetup Finder — use the finder to surface the right groups, then run the scraper on the events inside them. Use your own account, stay within Meetup's terms, and treat the export as sourcing leads, not a mailing list.

Once you know which Meetup group you care about, the slow part is turning its events into a list of people. The Meetup Finder gets you to the right groups; this tool takes it from there — it walks a group’s events and exports everyone who RSVP’d or attended into a clean CSV, columns and all.

It runs in your own logged-in session, so it sees exactly what you’d see clicking through the site by hand — just without the clicking. Each row carries the member’s name and id, their RSVP status, guest count, how many events they’ve attended, no-show count, their role in the group, and whether Meetup flags them as a familiar face. That last batch is the sourcing gold: the organizers and the high-attendance regulars are the people worth reaching first.

Two ways to run it, same engine underneath. The Chrome extension is the no-friction route once it’s loaded. The bookmarklet needs nothing installed — copy it into a bookmark and click it on any Meetup group page. Both pop a little progress panel in the corner, batch through the events politely (with back-off so you don’t hammer Meetup), and drop a meetup_<group>_<date>.csv in your downloads.

One honest note on conduct: this reads attendee data through Meetup’s own interface using your credentials, so keep it to your own account, respect Meetup’s terms of service and the attendees’ privacy, and use the output the way a good recruiter does — as warm leads to approach thoughtfully, never as a list to spam.
