Author Topic: Best api method to get all groups (names and id's) and add contact to a group (Read 1071 times)

I am extending my Joomla plugin:

https://civicrm.org/extensions/joomla-2-civicrm-user-synchronization

and I need to grab all groups available from civi install to present them for selection and then I need a method to add a specific contact to one or more of these groups.

Any suggestions are welcome.

To get the groups would be api.group.get
To add a contact to a group is api.groupcontact.create (contact_id, group_id)

I'm not sure about the url on joomla, but civicrm/api/explorer and civicrm/api/doc should help you finding entities you want and find their fields

Good luck

Thanks - got the group list working.

Question: can I add a single contact to multiple groups in one api call or do I need to loop?
