Get Group Id Using REST

Question

I want to get group id in single call. I am using below URL

<Sitename>/_api/web/sitegroups/getbyname('Approvers')

it is returning object. I want to apply filter to above url to get group id.

Answer 1

If your're working with REST you can apend $select tag to get specific properties. If would look like like this:

<Sitename>/_api/web/sitegroups/getbyname('Approvers')?$select=id

But even in this case you will get object containing at least __metadata tag, because SharePoint REST services is based on OData web protocol standards specification and works this way.

Answer 2

Get all groups of site

_api/web/sitegroups

Get All Users in Site

_api/web/siteusers

Get particular group in site

_api/Web/SiteGroups/GetById(IdOfGroup)

Remove particular user from group

executor.executeAsync({
  url: "<app web url>/_api/web/sitegroups(GroupId)/users/getbyid(UserId)",
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "X-HTTP-Method": "DELETE" },
  success: successEventHandler,
  error: errorEventHandler
 });
