About this endpoint

GET /v1/flickr/users/{userId}/groups returns data.groups, a single list of the groups the person belongs to. Each row carries id, name, isAdmin, memberCount, poolCount, isEighteenPlus, invitationOnly and iconUrl; coverPhotoUrl is always null for this list.

This route returns the whole public list in one response rather than a paged collection. A person with no public groups returns lookupStatus: found with an empty list; an unknown person returns not_found.

Flickr User Groups API FAQ

Does it page?

No. The whole public group list is returned in one response. Use the group route for details on each group.

What does isAdmin mean?

Whether the person is an admin of that group.

Is there a cover image?

No. coverPhotoUrl is always null for this list; use the group route for the group icon and cover.

How much does the group list cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.

Are private groups included?

Only groups in the public list. A fully private membership is not listed.
