Query parameters

filter_termstring

Limits the results to only groups whose name starts with the search term.

fieldsstring[]

A comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. This can be used to request fields that are not normally returned in a standard response.

Be aware that specifying this parameter will have the effect that none of the standard fields are returned in the response unless explicitly specified, instead only fields for the mini representation are returned, additional to the fields requested.

limitinteger

The maximum number of items to return per page.

offsetinteger

The offset of the item at which to begin the response.

Queries with offset parameter value exceeding 10000 will be rejected with a 400 response.

Response

Returns a collection of group objects. If there are no groups, an empty collection will be returned.

total_countinteger

One greater than the offset of the last entry in the entire collection. The total number of entries in the collection may be less than total_count.

This field is only returned for calls that use offset-based pagination. For marker-based paginated APIs, this field will be omitted.

limitinteger

The limit that was used for these entries. This will be the same as the limit query parameter unless that value exceeded the maximum value allowed. The maximum value varies by API.

offsetinteger

The 0-based offset of the first entry in this set. This will be the same as the offset query parameter.

This field is only returned for calls that use offset-based pagination. For marker-based paginated APIs, this field will be omitted.
