  summary: >
    Meetup API access is gated behind the Meetup Pro subscription. There is no
    standalone API tier or pay-per-use pricing for the API itself. All API costs
    are bundled into the Pro plan subscription fee, which is charged per group
    per month. Organizations managing multiple groups pay per-group pricing.

        Pricing is per group managed under a Pro network. Organizations with
        many groups should factor per-group costs into budget planning.

  costOptimization:
    - Combine multiple GraphQL queries into a single request to maximize the 500-point budget
    - Use cursor-based pagination efficiently to minimize redundant data fetches
    - Request only the specific fields needed (GraphQL reduces over-fetching)
    - Annual billing provides discounts compared to month-to-month pricing
