Get group

Endpoint

GET /organizations/{org_id}/groups/{group_id}

This endpoint retrieves the details for a single group in your Tallyfy organization identified by its unique ID.

Request

Replace {org_id} with your Organization ID and {group_id} with the specific ID of the group you want to retrieve.

Headers

• Authorization: Bearer {your_access_token}
• Accept: application/json
• X-Tallyfy-Client: APIClient

Query parameters (optional)

• with (string): Include additional related data, e.g., assets (for group logo).
• Pagination parameters might be available.

Code samples

Javascript

const accessToken = 'YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN';
const orgId = 'YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID';
const groupId = 'GROUP_ID_TO_GET'; // ID of the group

const queryParams = '?with=assets'; // Example: include group logo if available
const apiUrl = `https://go.tallyfy.com/api/organizations/${orgId}/groups/${groupId}${queryParams}`;

const headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Authorization', `Bearer ${accessToken}`);
headers.append('Accept', 'application/json');
headers.append('X-Tallyfy-Client', 'APIClient');

fetch(apiUrl, {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: headers

    console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
})
