API Group output versus Audiences

We have over 4500 groups. I’d kill for a group report! 

I can show you how to get it with groups...<shrug> 😂

@captainzelda If I figure anything out I will let you know.

I wonder if since the member count is part of what you need if you can essentially either rig the Groups/Branches - Courses report to give you some of this information.

My two thoughts were:

1. Run a report on all your courses with this, then create a pivot table or remove duplicate data to isolate your group names and member counts to give you most of the data.  Then you could potentially compare that to a master list of groups to see if any groups were missing/didn’t show on the report and may have no users.
2. Would need testing and I’m not sure if it would actually work.  Maybe create a “dummy” course and enroll a “dummy group test” user into that course, then make sure that user is manually added to all groups.  Then the groups/branches - course report might show all the groups and their counts from that user being enrolled in them, and you would know that all the counts were minus the one test user/if the group only had one user then it was the test user?  I have no idea if this would be successful, but it may be worth testing. 

@trose23 - I considered that, but having played with all of the groups and branches that show up in the survey reporting I went a different direction. I am playing with postman again going through bfarkas sessions. He does a good job of setting it up. 

I am going to work with that and our internal cognitive AI to see if I can figure it out.

My old groups Python script is still working. I just do not know how long it will work. So I want to have a plan.

I will work on getting a pull from audiences, and then I can do the calculations in Excel as needed. Hopefully.

I also want to be able to create groups based on specific content in a CSV (one parameter, everything else hard coded).
