Group ID

[I Burch]

Is there an easy way to get the group ID for a meetup group?  I am looking to use it for the API.

Thanks

The body of any group response contains an id field. That represents the group id -- http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/2/groups/#response

Thanks

Have a look at this console example (and the link Doug provided for documentation ... its all there).

I think I am missing something ....

When click the link below ...I put in the group url ... and hit show response...I see a lot of coding but I do not see something that says group ID.  Can you tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for all your help

Hello,

When you say that you put in the "group url", do you mean you provide the actual URL or the URL name (it must be the name)? Consider this group:

http://www.dev.meetup.com/ny-scala/

The "URL name" of a group is the path element that identifies the group, which in this case is "ny-scala". If you hop to the console and input this value in the "group_urlname" field, you should get a response that conforms to that as described in the docs: http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/2/groups/#response

You should see a "results" field, which is an array of groups, each of which have an "id" field. This is what you want.
