Hi

On Civi 4.1.1, apiv3, trying to get contacts from a group, i get memory issues.

$params = array( 
	'group_id'		=> $gid,
	'option.limit'	=> 100,
	'version'		=> 3,
	'api.contact.get' => 1      // this makes it return the contact data
);
$results = civicrm_api( 'group_contact','get',$params );

I could already weed out most of the contacts by looking for a particular type (individual,organisation). but how would I do that ?

The best documentation I found sofar is
http://api.civicrm.org/v3/CiviCRM_APIv3/API_Group/_api---v3---GroupContact.php.html
which says "* return: list of groups, given contact subsribed to" :-D
api.contact.get is not described anywhere.

I could also loop through contacts instead - would that help ?
In apiv2, you could do a search on group - is that gone in api v3 ?

thanks,

So you want to fetch the individual contacts that belong to group x?

Code: [Select]

$params = array( 
	'group'		=>  $gid,
        'contact_type' => 'Individual',
	'option.limit'	=> 100,
	'version'		=> 3,
	'return' => 'first_name,last_name,whatever'      // this makes it return the contact data
);
$results = civicrm_api( 'contact','get',$params );

Try using the api explorer to check with different params (eg for the return)

Yes! Excellent! Performs MUCH better.

Except, option.limit doesnt seem to work here. The api explorer seems to suggest that is the right syntax, but then igmores it. Always the first 25.

Ah, it's 'rowCount' - case sensitive too.

thanks!
