# Groups API **(FREE)**
## List groups
Get a list of visible groups for the authenticated user. When accessed without
authentication, only public groups are returned.
By default, this request returns 20 results at a time because the API results [are paginated](rest/index.md#pagination).
When accessed without authentication, this endpoint also supports [keyset pagination](rest/index.md#keyset-based-pagination):
- When requesting consecutive pages of results, we recommend you use keyset pagination.
- Beyond a specific offset limit (specified by [max offset allowed by the REST API for offset-based pagination](../administration/instance_limits.md#max-offset-allowed-by-the-rest-api-for-offset-based-pagination)), offset pagination is unavailable.
Parameters:

| `search` | string | no | Return the list of authorized groups matching the search criteria |
| `order_by` | string | no | Order groups by `name`, `path`, `id`, or `similarity` (if searching, [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/332889) in GitLab 14.1). Default is `name` |

## Details of a group
> The `membership_lock` field was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/82271) in GitLab 14.10.
Get all details of a group. This endpoint can be accessed without authentication
if the group is publicly accessible. In case the user that requests is an administrator
if the group is publicly accessible. With authentication, it returns the `runners_token`
for the group too, if the user is an administrator or group owner.
```plaintext
GET /groups/:id
```
Parameters:
| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| ------------------------ | -------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](rest/index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) owned by the authenticated user. |
| `with_custom_attributes` | boolean | no | Include [custom attributes](custom_attributes.md) in response (administrators only). |
| `with_projects` | boolean | no | Include details from projects that belong to the specified group (defaults to `true`). (Deprecated, [scheduled for removal in API v5](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213797). To get the details of all projects within a group, use the [list a group's projects endpoint](#list-a-groups-projects).) |
NOTE:
The `projects` and `shared_projects` attributes in the response are deprecated and [scheduled for removal in API v5](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213797).
To get the details of all projects within a group, use either the [list a group's projects](#list-a-groups-projects) or the [list a group's shared projects](#list-a-groups-shared-projects) endpoint.
```shell
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/4"
```
NOTE:
There is [a known issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/345200) that can
prevent `runners_token` from being returned when the call has the `with_projects=false`
parameter.
This endpoint returns:
- All projects and shared projects in GitLab 12.5 and earlier.
- A maximum of 100 projects and shared projects [in GitLab 12.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31031)
and later. To get the details of all projects within a group, use the
[list a group's projects endpoint](#list-a-groups-projects) instead.

NOTE:
The `projects` and `shared_projects` attributes in the response are deprecated and [scheduled for removal in API v5](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/213797).
To get the details of all projects within a group, use either the [list a group's projects](#list-a-groups-projects) or the [list a group's shared projects](#list-a-groups-shared-projects) endpoint.
```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" \
"https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/5?name=Experimental"
```
This endpoint returns:
- All projects and shared projects in GitLab 12.5 and earlier.
- A maximum of 100 projects and shared projects [in GitLab 12.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/31031)

### Disable the results limit **(FREE SELF)**
The 100 results limit can break integrations developed using GitLab 12.4 and earlier.
For GitLab 12.5 to GitLab 13.12, the limit can be disabled while migrating to using the
[list a group's projects](#list-a-groups-projects) endpoint.
Ask a GitLab administrator with Rails console access to run the following command:
```ruby
Feature.disable(:limit_projects_in_groups_api)
```
For GitLab 14.0 and later, the [limit cannot be disabled](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/257829).

| `disabled_with_override` | (Deprecated. Use `disabled_and_overridable`) Disables shared runners for all projects and subgroups in this group, but allows subgroups to override this setting. |
### Upload a group avatar
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36681) in GitLab 12.9.
To upload an avatar file from your file system, use the `--form` argument. This causes
curl to post data using the header `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`. The
`file=` parameter must point to a file on your file system and be preceded by
`@`. For example:
```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/22" \
--form "avatar=@/tmp/example.png"
```
### Remove a group avatar
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/96421) in GitLab 15.4.
To remove a group avatar, use a blank value for the `avatar` attribute.
Example request:
```shell
curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/22" \
--data "avatar="
```
## Remove group
> - Immediately deleting subgroups was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/360008) in GitLab 15.3 [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `immediate_delete_subgroup_api`. Disabled by default.
> - Immediately deleting subgroups was [enabled on GitLab.com and self-managed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/368276) in GitLab 15.4.
> - Immediately deleting subgroups was [enabled](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/368276) by default in GitLab 15.4.
> - The flag `immediate_delete_subgroup_api` for immediately deleting subgroups was [removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/374069) in GitLab 15.9.
Only available to group owners and administrators.
This endpoint:
- On Premium and higher tiers, marks the group for deletion. The deletion happens 7 days later by default, but you can change the retention period in the [instance settings](../user/admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#deletion-protection).
- On Free tier, removes the group immediately and queues a background job to delete all projects in the group.
- Deletes a subgroup immediately if the subgroup is marked for deletion (GitLab 15.4 and later). The endpoint does not immediately delete top-level groups.
