FQL:group

Query this table to return information about a group.

If you call fql.query without an auth token or session key when querying this table, you'll only get data about a group that is publicly available. That is, the query only returns a group that the logged-in user can see. If you don't pass the logged-in user's ID, the query only returns open groups.

Columns
