Hello all. I’m using the API to set users’ groups and it requires the numerical ID of the group but I can’t seem to find that anywhere.

Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide!

`/admin/groups.json` will give you information on all of the groups.

If you’re doing something with the API, you can probably grok JSON, but this [Chrome JSONview plugin](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc?hl=en) makes it easier to read.
