I'm new to APIs but managed to get a few standard Meetup.com API responses to work in my Rails app; now I need to customise. I've read through all the documentation, and I can't manage to find the right response url to suit my needs. I want the user to be able to search their city (or within 30 mile radius of their city) for events organised by a particular member. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I only had a quick glance at the Meetup API docs, but it didn't appear to provide this functionality. You will therefore need to get more data and filter out the ones you don't want - probably want a cache of some sorts to avoid hitting their API too hard.

Using the GET /find/events end-point you can get events by lat/lng. In the response there is a collection event_hosts, you would then use this data to remove events not organised by the particular member(s) you are looking for.

Hope that helps
