Sample request

Basic format If the total number of groups in the app exceeds 10,000, a maximum of 10,000 group IDs are returned. To obtain all group IDs, you must pull them by page.
{}
Pulling by page You can use the Limit and Next fields to control the paged pulling:
The Limit field specifies the maximum number of groups in GroupIdList in the response packet, which cannot exceed 10,000.
The Next field is used to control pagination. For the initial pagination request, Next is set to 0. For subsequent requests, it is set to the previously returned Next value. If the returned Next value is 0, all groups have been pulled. For example, if paged pulling is requested and 20 group IDs are displayed per page, the request parameters for the first page are {“Limit” : 20, “Next” : 0}, whereas those for the second page are {“Limit” : 20, “Next” : Previously returned Next value}, and so on.
The value of Limit or Next does not affect TotalCount in the response packet.
{
   "Limit": 1000,
   "Next": 0
}
Specifying the group type You can specify the type of groups to be pulled, such as Public, Private, ChatRoom, AVChatRoom, or BChatRoom.
{
  "GroupType" : "Public" // Type of groups to be pulled. If this parameter is not specified, all types of groups will be pulled.
}
ALL IN ONE
{
  "Limit": 1000,
  "Next": 0,
  "GroupType" : "Public" // Type of groups to be pulled. If this parameter is not specified, all types of groups will be pulled.
}

Request fields

Description
Limit
Integer
No
Maximum number of group IDs to be obtained, which cannot exceed 10,000. If no value is specified, the maximum value 10000 is used by default.
Next
Integer
No
Paged pulling flag when the number of groups is too large. It is initially set to 0 and subsequently to the Next value returned in the previous response. If the returned Next value is 0, all groups have been pulled.
GroupType
String
No
To obtain a specified type of groups, you can use GroupType for filtering. In this case, the returned TotalCount value indicates the total number of groups of the specified type in the app. If this field is not specified, all types of groups are obtained.
Possible group types are Public, Private, ChatRoom, AVChatRoom, BChatRoom, and Community.

Sample response

{
    "ActionStatus": "OK",
    "ErrorInfo": "",
    "ErrorCode": 0,

    "GroupIdList": [
        {
            "GroupId": "@TGS#2J4SZEAEL"
        },
        {
            "GroupId": "@TGS#2C5SZEAEF"

String
Request result. OK: successful; FAIL: failed
ErrorCode

Total number of existing groups in the app. To obtain a specified type of groups, you can use GroupType for filtering. In this case, the returned TotalCount value indicates the total number of groups of the specified type in the app. If this field is not specified, all types of groups are obtained.
For example, assume that the app has total 50,000 groups, including 20,000 public groups. If GroupType in the request packet is set to Public, TotalCount in the response packet is 20,000 regardless of the Limit and Offset values. In addition, groups in GroupIdList are all public groups.

List of obtained group IDs.
Next
Integer
Paged pulling flag.
