HTTP GET¶

Retrieves the list of review groups on the site.

The list of review groups can be filtered down using the q and displayname parameters.

Setting q to a value will by default limit the results to group names starting with that value. This is a case-insensitive comparison.

If displayname is set to 1, the display names will also be checked along with the username. displayname is ignored if q is not set.

For example, accessing /api/groups/?q=dev&displayname=1 will list any groups with a name or display name starting with dev.

Request Parameters¶

counts-onlyBoolean	If specified, a single `count` field is returned with the number of results, instead of the results themselves.
displaynameBoolean	Specifies whether `q` should also match the beginning of the display name.
max-resultsInteger	The maximum number of results to return in this list. By default, this is 25. There is a hard limit of 200; if you need more than 200 results, you will need to make more than one request, using the “next” pagination link.
qString	The string that the group name (or the display name when using `displayname`) must start with in order to be included in the list. This is case-insensitive.
startInteger	The 0-based index of the first result in the list. The start index is usually the previous start index plus the number of previous results. By default, this is 0.

HTTP POST¶

Creates a new review group.

This will create a brand new review group with the given name and display name. The group will be public by default, unless specified otherwise.

Extra data can be stored on the group for later lookup by passing extra_data.key_name=value. The key_name and value can be any valid strings. Passing a blank value will remove the key. The extra_data. prefix is required.
