Get contacts in smart group.
October 21, 2012, 07:15:09 am

Hello,

I wish to have data returned from the API that just returns the contacts in a smart group.

What would I need to stick in my $params array to achieve that?

Thanks!

civicrm_api ("contact","get",array ("group"=> 42,version=>3));

should do it. try first on api explorer.

For reference this should be:
civicrm_api ("GroupContact","get",array ("group_id"=> 42,version=>3));

Actually - reading this just reminded me - there are some mystery smarts in the call Xavier described - did you try it?

It worked for me!

I can't remember why I wanted it or what I used it for!

Using this API call gets me contacts who were manually added to the group. It does not get me "smart" contacts:

/civicrm/ajax/rest?json=1&sequential=1&debug=1&entity=GroupContact&action=get&group_id=69&rowCount=300

There is no API for this in 4.2 . We've made some progress towards this in 4.3, but not yet exposed via the API

you can get all contacts for a smart group via a call lik:

http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/ajax/rest?json=1&sequential=1&debug=1&entity=contact&action=get&group=2&rowCount=70
