Smart Group - GetCount
September 04, 2014, 04:26:39 pm
Hi everyone:

I'm trying to get the contact's count of a smart group by API. When I run the query against the Contact's API, I'm doing the following query:

civicrm_api("Contact","GetCount",array( 
    'version' => 3,
    'group' => my_smart_group_id
));

But this query returns 1.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Michael McAndrew

I got the same on 4.4.6.

get returns 0 for a smart group for me and getcount returns 1.

my hunch is that the api does not work with smart groups (since they are saved queries and don't pull info from the same table FWIW, you might be interested to know that smart group contacts are stored in civicrm_group_contact_cache).

Sounds like a bug / not yet implemented feature though others might correct me. See http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=22924.0 as well for another approach.
