📅 Retrieves your Meetup group's past events and generates a database.
We are building this so we can retrieve data reagrding past events' attendance and members.
The ultimate use of this is to feed our machine learning models to, hopefully, generate some interesting predictions for the organizers of newer events.
Requires Python 3.6
We use Gunicorn to serve our WSGI application (built with Hug framework).
However, if you are intending to use this for development purpose, Hug has a built-in development server, batteries included.
For persistence, we assume you would be using PostgreSQL as well.
We also use Redis as the backend store for managing background tasks (dumping API results into tables).
