groupme.search

The search methods allow to search for GroupMe! groups and resources. We provide the following search methods:

• groupme.search - Performs a search for resources and groups.
• groupme.search.groups - Performs a search for groups only.
• groupme.search.resources - Performs a search for resources only.

Parameters and options for GroupMe! search methods:

• tag - Mandatory parameter, which allows to specify tags/keywords that should be used as search query. For search methods the specification of at least one tag is mandatory.
• conjunction - Optional parameter, which enables you to specify how multiple tags are connected. Allowed values: or and and. If no conjunction is given then the tags are used as OR-connected query.
• offset - Optional parameter, which allows to specify how many results of the top k results should be skipped (not returned).
• limit - Optional parameter, which allows to limit the number of returned results.
• output - Optional parameter, which allows to specify which output format should be used. Allowed values: xml. Standard output: xml.

Examples:

• http://groupme.org/GroupMe/api.do?method=groupme.search&tag=web&tag=iswc - Returns GroupMe! groups and resources, which are related to web or iswc. XML is used as standard output format so that the result looks as follows:
