  • Are you getting all the users from that group using the URL you mentioned in question?

First add the AD group into a SharePoint group. You can set the group setting "Who can view the membership of the group" in SP-Group-Settings to "Group Members". Then only members of the group can see the members of that group. Luckily you can ask if the current-user has the right to view a groups membership. So if the user can view the membership of the group then he/she must be a member

Use below REST Url:

http://<siteurl>/_api/web/sitegroups/getbyname('SharePointGroupName')/CanCurrentUserViewMembership

The above REST will return a boolean value depending on whether user is part of the AD group or not.
