Meetup API vs DICE for AI agents

The short answer
- Meetup API: Finding community meetups and recurring group events, with a link to the Meetup page.
- DICE: Promoters selling on DICE who want to pull their own ticket and fan data into other systems.
Side by side
| Meetup API | DICE | |
|---|---|---|
| Searches | Events and groups (eventSearch and groupSearch replaced the old keywordSearch). | Only the partner's own events and related ticket, order and financial data. |
| Returns | Event title, event URL, description, date and time, duration, hosts, featured photo, group and RSVPs. | – |
| Before the first call | A Meetup account with a registered OAuth client and an access token. Rate limit: 500 query points every 60 seconds. | A DICE partner account; the API token is generated in DICE's partner tool (MIO). |
| Acting on a result | Event link: each event has its Meetup event URL (RSVP happens on Meetup). | – |
| MCP server | No official server listed | – |
