"Invalid Request URI" when trying to add a member to a group

[Glen Holcomb]

I'm working with the REST API and am receiving an "Invalid request URI" when trying to add a member to a group.  My request URI appears to match the format provided in the documentation.

https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/group/2.0/cnm.edu/next_group/lholcomb2

I get the same error when I specify the full email addresses of the group and user.  Any ideas what the request URI should actually look like?

This is where I'm looking https://developers.google.com/google-apps/provisioning/#methods_for_group_members

Hi Glen,

The url to add a member to the group has the following format:

https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/group/2.0/domain/groupId/member

Where "domain" and "groupId" are the only parameters you have to replace. 

In your case, the url should look like:

https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/group/2.0/cnm.edu/next_group/member

Your request must send the email address of the member to be added in the body of the request, which has to look like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<atom:entry xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:apps="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006" xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005">

    <apps:property name="memberId" value="some...@gmail.com"/>

</atom:entry>

Thanks Claudio,

I'll give that a shot.  The documentation doesn't mention anything about the POST body.  It there another URL with complete Protocol documentation?

Hi Glen,

There's a reference guide at https://developers.google.com/google-apps/provisioning/reference but the POST body used to be included in the developer's guide as well.

It looks like some parts of the docs might have not been migrated properly from the previous format, I'll see if they can be restored.

Thanks

This is very strange.

I am still getting the Invalid request URI error when trying to add a member to the group.

I am sending my POST request to the following URI:

https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/group/2.0/cnm.edu/next_group/lholcomb2

I've tried the full email address for both the group and user as well but I still get "Invalid request URI"

I'm including the following document in the POST body although the error would lead me to believe it isn't getting that far:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<atom:entry xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:apps="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006" xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005">

  <apps:property name="memberId" value="lhol...@cnm.edu"/>

</atom:entry>

I've also verified that I'm authenticated although that should generate an Invalid Token error rather than a URI error.

I can create and delete groups just fine I just can't seem to add members to a group.

Hi Glen,

The URI you are using is still invalid, the correct one is:

https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/group/2.0/cnm.edu/next_group/member

Please note that "member" in the url above must NOT be replaced with the username of the account to be added. That data only goes in the request body.

Thanks Caludio,

Sorry for the density on this end.  It's working now that I'm doing it correctly ;)
