post/meetup/v1/search1 credit

Discover upcoming events near a city. Filter by event type (in-person or online) and by date window, paginated. Returns each event's name, date, venue with coordinates, RSVP count, fee, image and the hosting group. (Meetup's logged-out discovery feed is location-based — pass a city; for a specific topic, browse a relevant group's events.)

location	optional	—	City to find events near — a plain place name ('Chicago', 'London', 'Austin, TX', 'Berlin'). We geocode it for you (US and international). Defaults to New York, NY.
event_type	optional	PHYSICAL · ONLINE	Restrict to in-person (PHYSICAL) or ONLINE events. Omit for both.
date	optional	today · tomorrow · this-week · this-weekend · this-month	Optional date window for upcoming events.
radius = 25	optional	1–100	Search radius in miles around the city (1-100, default 25).
cursor	optional	—	Pagination cursor. Pass meta.next_cursor from the previous response to fetch the next page. Page until meta.has_more is false.
