Meeting Guide API

The goal of the Meeting Guide API is help sync information about AA meetings. It was developed for the Meeting Guide app, but it is non-proprietary and other systems are encouraged to make use of it.

If you have feedback, please put an issue on this repository.

Usage

To implement the API on your server, create a script that can take information from your database and format it in the correct specification (see below).

Your data must not break anyone's anonymity. No last names should be used in meeting data.

You may test your feed with the Meeting Guide JSON Feed Validator. Once it's ready, or if you have questions, see How to Connect to Meeting Guide.

If you would like to share your script, we'll include a copy in this repository so that it might help future users.

Specification

The JSON file is expected to contain a simple array of meetings. Here is an example of a live JSON feed.

Table Format

Alternately, the data can be in a table format, such as in a Google Sheet (template). The first row should be a header row, and the columns can be in any order. The column names should be plain-language versions of the JSON keys, for example conference_url becomes Conference URL. Column names currently must be in English, but the data can be in any language.

Field Definitions

Required Fields

Many fields can be included in a meeting listing, but only two are required in each one: name and slug. When an optional field does not apply to a meeting it can be omitted.

name

Name is a required string. It should be the meeting name, where possible. Some areas use group names instead, although that's more ambiguous. 255 characters max. Best practices for meeting names:

• make the name fewer than 64 characters so it's not truncated in the app.
• don't include information that can be contained elsewhere in the listing, such as the day, time, and type
• avoid using the words AA and meeting in the name, because it is redundant

slug

Slug is required, and must be unique to your data set. It should preferably be a string, but integer IDs are fine too. This is the primary key for the meeting, and is used to identify the meeting in the app, and to form bookmark URLs. It should be URL-safe, and not contain spaces or special characters. It should be 64 characters max, but ideally shorter. Usually it is a representation of the meeting name. When a name belongs to several meetings, a number can be used to disambiguate, for example sunday-serenity-7.

When using a Google Sheet, this field is should be called ID.

Time Fields

Some meetings are "by appointment" and do not have a specific time. For weekly meetings, day and time are required.

Note: the Meeting Guide spec is to be used for weekly meetings only. It is recommended to use a separate page to list monthly or non-recurring meetings.

The Meeting Guide app only displays meetings that have a day and time. TSML UI displays appointment meetings at the bottom.

day

Day is required for meetings that are not by appointment and may be an integer or an array of integers 0-6, representing Sunday (0) through Saturday (6).

time

Time is required for meetings that are not by appointment and is a five-character string in the HH:MM 24-hour time format.

end_time

End Time is an optional five-character string in the HH:MM 24-hour time format. The Meeting Guide app and TSML UI use this value when present when adding a meeting to a user's calendar. Also TSML UI uses this to display a "meetings in progress" banner at the top. It will default to one hour after the start time if omitted.

timezone

Timezone is an optional string in tz database format (for example America/New_York). This is helpful when displaying meetings in a variety of time zones using TSML UI.

Geographic Fields

To be listed in the Meeting Guide app, meetings must also have some geographic information. This can be either in the format:

"formatted_address": "4953 W Addison St, Chicago, IL 60641, USA"

or separated into individual fields:

"address": "4953 W Addison St",
"city": "Chicago",
"state": "IL",
"postal_code": "60641",
"country": "US"

Take special care to strip extra information from the address, such as 'upstairs' or 'around back,' since this is the primary cause of geocoding problems. That information belongs in the notes field, see below.

Online meetings may have an approximate address (for example Chicago, IL, USA), but in-person meetings must have a specific address.

Region Fields

region

Region is an optional string that represents a geographical subset of meeting locations. Usually this is a neighborhood or city. District numbers are discouraged because they require special program knowledge to be understood. This is ignored by the Meeting Guide importer but helpful for TSML UI.

sub_region

Sub Region can be used when region is present to further specify the location. This is ignored by the Meeting Guide importer but helpful for TSML UI.

regions

Regions can be used instead of Region and Sub Region to support any number of hierarchical regions. For example:

"regions": ["Illinois", "Chicago", "Wicker Park"]

When using regions, the most general region is first, and the most specific is last. There should be variation among your top-level regions. For example, a statewide meeting finder whose meetings were all within Illinois should not include Illinois as the top level. A region that's shared across all meetings should be omitted.

When using a Google Sheet, you may separate multiple regions with a >.

Online meetings may belong to geographic regions, which represents the origin or affinity of the meeting, even if its members may be more geographically diverse. Alternately, some sites use an arbitrary region, such as Online.

Online Meeting Fields

Online meetings must have either a conference_url and/or conference_phone field to be considered active.

conference_url

Conference URL is an optional string and should be a common videoconferencing service such as Zoom or Google Hangouts. It should launch directly into the meeting and not link to an intermediary page.

conference_url_notes

Conference URL Notes is an optional string which contains metadata about the conference_url (for example a meeting password in plain text for those groups unwilling to publish a one-tap URL).

conference_phone

Conference Phone is an optional telephone number to dial into a specific meeting. Should be numeric, except a + symbol may be used for international dialers, and ,, *, and # can be used to form one-tap phone links.

conference_phone_notes

Conference Phone Notes is an optional string with metadata about the conference_phone (for example a numeric meeting password or other user instructions).

Recommended Fields

types

Types is an optional array of standardized meeting types. See Meeting Types below. While this field is optional, it is highly recommended to include it. The app uses this field to filter meetings, and it's a primary way that users find meetings. While not every meeting will have types, most meetings should.

notes

Notes is an optional long text field to hold additional details about the meeting. Line breaks are ok, but HTML will be stripped. As opposed to location_notes and group_notes (see below), the notes field is not shared with other meetings, so it's a good place to put any freeform information that is specific to this meeting.

No HTML or other formatting should go in this field. It is plain text.

location

Location is an optional string and should be a recognizable building or landmark name. Most apps will share this field with other meetings at the same address.

No HTML or other formatting should go in this field. It is plain text.

location_notes

Location Notes is an optional long text field with notes applying to all meetings at the location. Most apps will share this field with other meetings at the same address.

Optional Fields

latitude and longitude

Latitude and Longitude are optional numeric values indicating the geoposition of the meeting. Only five decimal places of precision are necessary here (1.11m). These values are ignored by the Meeting Guide importer, but are helpful for TSML UI, which uses them to display a map of the meeting location, and infer that the meeting address is not approximate.

approximate

Approxmiate is an optional stringified boolean value, that, when present, indicates whether the address is an approximate location ("yes") or a specific point on a map such as a street address ("no"). This is ignored by the Meeting Guide importer but is used by TSML UI when latitude and longitude are not present.

updated

Updated is an optional UTC timestamp in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS and indicates when the listing was last updated.

group

Group is an optional string representing the name of the group providing the meeting. Groups can hold meetings in multiple locations. This is ignored by the Meeting Guide importer but is used by TSML UI.

group_notes

Group Notes is an optional long text field. Line breaks are ok, but HTML will be stripped. This is ignored by the Meeting Guide importer but is used by TSML UI. When importing, the 12 Step Meeting List plugin will apply this value to all meetings that share the same group name.

No HTML or other formatting should go in this field. It is plain text.

venmo

Venmo is an optional string and should be a Venmo handle, for example @AAGroupName. This is understood to be the address for 7th Tradition contributions to the meeting, and not any other entity.

square

Square is an optional string and should be a Square Cash App cashtag, for example $AAGroupName. This is understood to be the address for 7th Tradition contributions to the meeting, and not any other entity.

paypal

PayPal is an optional string and should be a PayPal.me username, for example AAGroupName. This is understood to be the address for 7th Tradition contributions to the meeting, and not any other entity.

url

URL is optional and should point to the meeting's listing on the area website. This is used by the Meeting Guide app but not TSML UI.

edit_url

Edit URL is an optional string URL that trusted servants can use to edit the specific meeting's listing. This is ignored by Meeting Guide but used by TSML UI.

feedback_emails

Feedback Emails is an array of feedback addresses for the service entity responsible for the listing. When using a Google Sheet, separate multiple addresses with a ,.

feedback_url

Feedback URL is an optional string URL that can be used instead of feedback_emails to provide feedback about the meeting. These can be on-site or off-site absolute URLs, for example:

• https://example.org/feedback?meeting=meeting-slug-1
• https://typeform.com/to/23904203?meeting=meeting-slug-1
• mailto:[email protected]?subject=meeting-slug-1.

Service Entity Fields

entity

Entity is the name of the service entity responsible for the listing. entity info is optional, but entity is required if any of the other entity fields are present.

entity_email

Entity Email is a public email address for the service entity responsible for the listing. This should be a single email address.

entity_location

Entity Location is a human-readable physical description of the service area of the entity, for example Whatcom County, Washington.

entity_logo

Entity Logo is the URL of the logo of the service entity responsible for the listing. It should begin with https://. Ideally the image this points to is a vector-based SVG so it can be scaled to any size. Additionally, the image should be square, and have a transparent background. Finally, colors should be specified using currentColor so that they can adapt to the color mode (light, dark) of the app.

entity_phone

Entity Phone is the phone number of the service entity responsible for the listing. Should be in the format +1-123-456-7890 and start with country code for international dialing.

entity_website_url

Entity Website URL is the website homepage of the service entity responsible for the listing. This should begin with https://.

Contact Fields

Contact fields are optional, and are typically used in places where meeting density is low, and users may need to contact the meeting to confirm its status.

Contact fields should not break anyone's anonymity. No last names should be used in contact information.

contact_1_name is the name of the first contact person for the meeting.

contact_1_email is the email address of the first contact person for the meeting.

contact_1_phone is the phone number of the first contact person for the meeting.

contact_2_name is the name of the second contact person for the meeting.

contact_2_email is the email address of the second contact person for the meeting.

contact_2_phone is the phone number of the second contact person for the meeting.

contact_3_name is the name of the third contact person for the meeting.

contact_3_email is the email address of the third contact person for the meeting.

contact_3_phone is the phone number of the third contact person for the meeting.

Common Questions & Concerns

We use different meeting codes!

That's ok. App users don't actually see the codes, just the types they translate to.

Our meeting type isn't listed!

Types have to be consistent across the app to make a good user experience. It's common that a user might see meeting results from several areas at a time (this happens in small areas, and near borders). The set of meeting types we use is a mutually-agreed-upon set of names across 70+ areas. If you have a request to edit the list, we will bring it up at our steering committee meeting.

Meeting Guide requirements

Some applications have requirements about what content needs to be in the feed. Meeting Guide, for example, requires slug, day, time, as well as geographic information to be present for it to be imported.

Why is slug / ID necessary?

Slug is a required unique field because there is an app feature where users may "favorite" a meeting, and in order for that to persist across sessions we must attach it to a unique field.

Why are day and time required?

It's perfectly fine for meetings to be 'by appointment' and this often happens in places where there are not many meetings. The Meeting Guide app, however, needs this information to present useful information to the user.

Why is geographic information necessary for online-only meetings?

Meeting Guide has far too many meetings in its database to expose them all to individual users. To present only the most relevant information, Meeting Guide selects meetings that are "nearby" - even if that meeting is online. In these cases, the location can be thought of as a point of origin for the meeting, or a geographic affinity.

Use approximate locations for these meetings. formatted_address is the most flexible field for this, and values can be things like: Wicker Park, Chicago, IL, USA (neighborhood), Chicago, IL, USA (city), or Illinois, USA (state). It's also fine to use country, city, and state fields atomically.

These locations should standardized (can you find it with Google Maps?), and imply the time zone. For this reason, don't use a broad geographic area like United States that spans multiple time zones.

Why can't we have HTML in meeting notes?

Data should be portable across a range of devices, some of which might not display HTML.

What about business meetings or other monthly meetings?

This API is for weekly recovery meetings. We recommend using another method (separate page, calendar plugin) to display those types of meetings.

Meeting Types

The codes below are only used for transmitting meeting data. App users will only see the full definitions.

The codes below should be considered 'reserved.' In your implementation, it's ok to alter the description (for example "Topic Discussion" rather than "Discussion") so long as the intent is the same. For example, "Child Care Available" is a common substitute for "Babysitting Available." It's also ok to add types, they will be ignored by the importer, but be careful not to use any existing or proposed codes.

Also when adding a custom type, it's wise to stay away from any ISO 369 language codes, since these could be added in the future.

Sharing Your Data

If you choose, you may make your feed discoverable by linking to it (like RSS) in your site's <HEAD>.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/json" title="Meetings Feed" href="https://example.com/etc/meetings-feed">

The script may have any name, and be in any directory, but it should be a fully qualified URL, and the title="Meetings Feed" attribute is required.
