How to get the list of facebook groups using graph api

Muhammad Asim picture Muhammad Asim · Sep 9, 2015 · Viewed 13.9k times · Source

I want the list of groups in which I'm member. In the Graph Api Explorer I did not find any permission like user_groups. I select all the "User Data Permissions" and "Extended Permissions" but it did not work.

In graph api explorer I am using this command GET->/v2.4/me/groups. and i get empty JSON data Like this.

{
  "data":[
  ]
}

And if I use the old graph api version 2.2 Like GET->/v2.2/me/groups then I get the groups only in which I am admin not all the groups.

If anyone have this experience and also have any solution please help me to solve my problem.

Short answer: user_groups is deprecated with v2.4, see

the user_groups permission has been deprecated. Developers may continue to use the user_managed_groups permission to access the groups a person is the administrator of. This information is still accessed via the /v2.4/{user_id}/groups edge which is still available in v2.4.
