The token from the user is valid only for one hour, so we should think of a solution for that.

• Check before the usage and refresh token
• Drop session

The stats need all the members from the meetup group, and that may take too long to get from the meetup api. Because of that we might get timeouts client - application or application - api.

The meetup api had a breaking change https://github.com/meetup/api/issues/134
Because of that we can only get memberships and topics from a single member now.

The meetup api has a limit of 30 requests every 10 seconds.
If this limit is not respected the credential may be blocked for 1 hour.

In order to solve issue #8 we need to add some kind of Rate limitation.

The page size limit of the api is 200.
If we want to process all the members of a group bigger than this we need to bypass this limitation.

The data collection from meetup.com can be very slow depending on the size of the group, so it would be more interesting to use websockets to receive the data instead of the normal HTTP flow.

Extract meetup api client to its own repository and make it a hex package.

In this moment we use api key in order to make the requests, and because of that each person who wants to see the information needs to get a key and start a server.

In order to provide this as a service we need to be able to act in the name of the user, so we need to add meetup oauth authentication.
