Add GraphQL support

[ledell]

Meetup will be deprecating the REST API and replacing it with GraphQL. The REST API will be deprecated at the end of 2021, and the GraphQL API is already active. Therefore, for this package to remain usable, we have to replace the guts. The ghql package could be useful.

Here’s the info on migrating from REST to GraphQL: https://www.meetup.com/api/migrating More info about GraphQL: https://www.meetup.com/api/general

Its a little late for me in the evening, but keep me posted. I'd like to be involved as I rely on the pkg for the new website build.

Update: @schloerke is currently working on rewriting the internal query logic and updating the two most useful functions, get_events() and find_groups().

I can help with testing - let me know when.

[ledell]

@jromanowska Thank you! @benubah Please let @jromanowska how she can help, when you're ready.

[benubah]

Just to let everyone know... I am working on rewriting the remaining functions. I have working drafts but will send a PR soon so we can start testing.

[benubah]

The work (plus testing) is ongoing here: https://github.com/rladies/meetupr/pull/138

[RickPack]

Thank you, @benubah!

Great to see that this package is maintained and that the GraphQL support is being added! When can we expect the updates to be merged into the main branch?

[ledell]

@frederikho I just merged into master. Please try it out if you can! We would really appreciate feedback. Thanks.
