Get Group by ID

v1-v3 APIs have been deprecated

Don't worry, these APIs are deprecated, but they aren't shut off yet.

All new development with APIs should use the newest version of our API: /1. API /1 is based on RESTful principles, is secured by OAuth 2.0, and provides JSON messages, search, pagination, sorting, and filtering.

Get Group by ID

Think of groups as departments. Groups enable you to split your user base into smaller pieces that can be more easily managed.

For more info, see Groups.
