Canvas LMS REST API: get groups for user_id

[theaht123]

Is there a way to get all groups for a user, with their user_id?

The api has /api/v1/users/self/groups endpoint to get your own groups. Is there a similar way to get other user's groups using their user id?

In the quiz statistics endpoint, you get a list of user ids, we want to filter the responses on group, so see how each group responded. That way we need to find which group each of the users belongs to.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Hello @theaht123 

Glad to help with this. For checking with groups you should be able to follow the steps here https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/groups.html#method.groups.users to pull specific groups 

Regards,

Ian

I'm sorry, but I don't understand how this solves the problem? The provided link to the Canvas API is a method for getting users in a specific group_id (/api/v1/groups/:group_id/users), the original question was how to get groups based on a user_id (ie. /api/v1/users/:user_id/groups, but this does not exist).

All the best,
