Neo4j Meetup Import for Community Graph (and others)

Currently uses Python and iPython Notebook, the Meetup API via requests.

Run the script and notebook server with these environment variables:

nb.sh

export NEO4J_URL=bolt://localhost
export NEO4J_USER=neo4j
export NEO4J_PASSWORD=****
export MEETUP_API_KEY='...'

ipython notebook

Approach

• Use Meetup APIs, load groups with topics into Neo4j

• Fetch Members, Events with Venues and RSVPs

• Use idempotent Cypher statement to merge Meetups, Users, Topics,

Data Model

Uses the Meetup part of this data model:

TODO

• store in json files and then import those

• manage updates

• update organizers correctly

• use the streaming RSVP APIs

• Update to v3 APIs

• fix join date for members (can’t find it in the v2 APIs)
