Anything I could help you with @jkutianski, maybe?

@jkutianski

Isn't a good idea use this on a browser client, i think. But it's useful if you want to use it on hybrid apps, like those made with phonegap.

Its easy block your account if you've no control of the API calls

@jkutianski

@Caroga For now I've 2 problems. OAuth fails and the Websockets test don't work very well. If you want help, you will be very welcome.

Roberto Gardenier

@Caroga

I totally forgot about Gitter.

Seems you've been busy amigo.

Roberto Gardenier

@Caroga

@jkutianski Are you here?

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

@Caroga Yes but I'm not logged all the time, sorry for the delay. I'm thinking on this jkutianski/meetup-api#11 now.

Good to know that Gitter has a Android app now :)

Roberto Gardenier

@Caroga

haha

No problem.

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

We are debating an issue on jkutianski/meetup-api#10 if you wish to help us to think.

@darkfadr you are welcome to the debate too. We need multiple points of view for that.

ohh I forget to mention you @Caroga

Roberto Gardenier

@Caroga

I will join the discussion when I get the time for it. Currently I am busy with some client tenders. I will check in again when possible. So far the discussion is going good, I agree on not having to map everything inside the project but as having to be able to generate the mappings dynamically you will have to go far, maybe that is not the preferred solution at this precise moment? Remember, KISS: keep it simple stupid;-)

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

Because KISS i'm not sure about the mapping table.

Well hello community. I'm ready to get this party started

Angel S. Moreno

@angelxmoreno

this look familiar to anyone?

{ [Error: cannot GET /undefined?member_id=self&key=[my actual key] (401)]
        status: 401,
        text: '{"errors":[{"code":"auth_fail","message":"Invalid api key"}]}',
        method: 'GET',
        path: '/undefined?member_id=self&key=[my actual key] ' },

I am calling the getGroup method:

router.get('/groups', function (req, res, next) {
        req.meetup.getGroup({
            member_id: 'self'
        }, function (err, resp) {
            if(err){
                console.error('Found meetup error', err);
                return next(err);
            }
            res.send(resp);
        });
    });

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

Mmm... let me check.

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

getGroup = Fetches a Meetup Group by urlname

Probably you want to do getGroups

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

router.get('/groups', function (req, res, next) {
        req.meetup.getGroups({
            member_id: 'self'
        }, function (err, resp) {
            if(err){
                console.error('Found meetup error', err);
                return next(err);
            }
            res.send(resp);
        });
    });

The DOCS are not very clear yet but...
https://github.com/jkutianski/meetup-api/wiki/API-Methods-List#groups
https://github.com/jkutianski/meetup-api/wiki/API-Methods-List#get-group

@angelxmoreno hope this helps!

Angel S. Moreno

@angelxmoreno

@jkutianski you are correct. I can not get group details by its id, I must use its urlname. Seems a bit weird but it is outside the scope of the library. Thanks.

@jkutianski I guess a way around it would be to do a getGroups with the group id to get the urlname, then do another request to get the group details. Is the library compatible with the API's batch request feature?

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

member_id !== group_id. Can you elavorate the idea of /groups endpoint on your REST interface?

Angel S. Moreno

@angelxmoreno

@jkutianski what I mean is that my front-end view only has the group.id not the group.urlname so I would have to call getGroups() with the group.id to retrieve the group.urlname and then call getGroup() to actually get the group information

Angel S. Moreno

@angelxmoreno

thanks for the response on github @jkutianski

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

ok. But you are using member_id: self!

Angel S. Moreno

@angelxmoreno

oh, sorry, 2 seperate things. I was using member_id to grab all the groups that belong to the user. I understood what you said earlier. my thanks was for the question about batch requests :-)

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

to get the goup information you have to use

req.meetup.getGroups({
            group_id: gid
        },

Angel S. Moreno

@angelxmoreno

:+1: yep, got that sorted out

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

Happy to help.

Is there a difference between the npm meetup and npm meetup api ?

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

@conorg763 https://www.npmjs.com/package/meetup is a little bit different.

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

This is a call to RSVPS stream on meetup module

mup.stream("/2/rsvps", function(stream){
  stream
    .on("data", function(item){
      console.log("got item " + item)
    }).on("error", function(e) {
       console.log("error! " + e)
    });
});

and this one is the same for meetup-api (long pooling)

meetup.getRSVPs(null, function(err, resp) {
   if (err) {
    console.log(err, resp);
})

Juan Pablo Kutianski

@jkutianski

Forget the last because I press ENTER instead of SHIFT + ENTER and I take the wrong function.
The meetup-api try to use Websockets for streams.

meetup.getStreamRSVPs()
    .on('data', function(item) {
        console.log("got item ", item);
    })
    .on('error', function(err) {
        console.log("error! ", err);
    })
    .on('close', function() {
        console.log("Stream closed!");
    });
