Google Groups API add Member

Question

I have found lots of information on the internet about adding Members to a Group in Googlegroups, but I cant manage to get any of it to work.

I am working in Python

Answer 1

The Provisioning API (deprecated) and the new Admin SDK are both designed to work with Google Apps for Business and EDU and only work against Google Groups for Business (groups with a custom @yourdomain.com address).

You cannot use these APIs with consumer Google Groups that have @googlegroups.com email addresses. For these groups, your only option is to manage membership via the web interface.
