Getting smart groups with API call
January 10, 2012, 01:02:17 am
How do I get all the contacts in a smart group using the API

the group_contact, get API only seems to bring back normal groups.

Alternatively how would I retrieve all organizations that belong to group a and have a specified tag set?

at the moment I'm retrieving every contact in group a (organization & individual) then for the organizations only, retrieving the tag if it exists

Cheers

you can retrieve all the org with a tag & group using the api.contact.get

try with the api explorer on your db, but something

/civicrm/ajax/rest?json=1&debug=on&entity=Contact&action=get&sequential=1&return=display_name,email,phone&contact_type=Organization&group=42&tag=123 should work

(if not try a combination of tag_id & group_id and it should)

I don't appear to have the api explorer on my system. At least i can't find any directories called ajax. This is a joomla installation

You should have (and that's sure you have a ajax something somewhere, that's used by quite a few functions)
might be (I don't know how to login to test):
