Introduction

OpenSimulator both has a core groups service which is not yet enabled by default and an external XmlRpc/Flotsam groups service. This page describes the service level interface to the core groups.

API

Calls

WIP - Only a small number of possible service calls are currently described

FINDGROUPS

This returns groups which match a given pattern. If the pattern is an empty string then all groups are returned. The POST field is a urlencoded string like so

RequestingAgentID=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&Query=abc&METHOD=FINDGROUPS

where

• RequestingAgentID is always 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 for external calls
• Query is the query string

If successful, you will see a server response such as

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ServerResponse>
  <RESULT type="List">
    <n-0 type="List">
      <GroupID>6ed52fa7-d910-4b6f-a2a6-8c121c0561dd</GroupID>
      <Name>abc1</Name>
      <NMembers>1</NMembers>
      <SearchOrder>0</SearchOrder>
    </n-0>
    <n-1 type="List">
      <GroupID>c5cd5ae2-6b06-4118-b0ed-41556c8c2fac</GroupID>
      <Name>fooabcbar</Name>
      <NMembers>1</NMembers>
      <SearchOrder>0</SearchOrder>
    </n-1>
  </RESULT>
</ServerResponse>

If no matching group is found, then

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ServerResponse>
  <RESULT>NULL</RESULT>
  <REASON>No hits</REASON>
</ServerResponse>
