Have you ever wanted to keep track of your Meetup.com events using RSS?
Me too!
This handy procedure provides instructions for receiving new Meetup.com events in your RSS reader:
Instructions
- Navigate to the "Your groups" page on Meetup.com.
- Open each of your desired groups in a new tab.
- Copy and paste the URL of each Meetup group into a text file.
- If you're using Google Chrome, you can use Bulk URL Opener to generate a list of URLs from your active tabs.
- Convert each URL to RSS using
regex
:- Open Regex101 in a new tab.
- On the left sidebar, select Substitution.
- Underneath "Regular Expression", type
\/\n
. - Underneath "Substition", typ
/events/rss\n
. This URL corresponds to the RSS feed of the Meetup group's events page.
- Copy the new list of URLs into an online OPML generator, such as Riz Tools OPML Generator.
- Generate an
.opml
file using the site. The site may also return an.xml
file - this is fine to use as well. - Import the
.opml
into your RSS reader.
