Day 2 of the lead scraper series. Today: Meetup.com.
Meetup events tend to be more community-driven and local than Luma. Think: founder meetups, tech communities, industry-specific groups, developer gatherings. The people who show up to a “Berlin AI Founders” meetup are probably relevant if you’re building AI tools in Berlin.
The workflow:
Same pattern as yesterday’s Luma scraper. Go to a Meetup event, find the attendee list API request in your browser’s Network tab, copy as fetch, paste into Needle, and run. Attendees get exported to your spreadsheet.
When this is useful:
You’re targeting local communities or specific interest groups. Meetup has a different audience than Luma — often more grassroots, more diverse industries, and more globally distributed. If your ICP hangs out at local professional meetups, this is your scraper.
The bigger picture:
Between yesterday’s Luma scraper and today’s Meetup scraper, you can now pull attendee lists from the two biggest event platforms in tech. That covers most hackathons, meetups, conferences, and community events your target audience is attending.
Tomorrow we move to LinkedIn - and that’s where things get really powerful.
Tomorrow: Scraper #3 — LinkedIn Competitor Audience.
