Check your error message very well. I've tried the same API call and it works with roomId and roomName. Maybe you're missing something.
Remember the payload you're passing is suppose to be in a correct parsed JSON format. :)

Hello Rodriq,

This is an extract of my Python script.

The first call :

response=requests.get(ROCKET_URL + "groups.listAll?count=0", headers={'Content-Type':'application/json', 'X-Auth-Token':authentification["auth_token"], 'X-User-Id':authentification["user_id"]})

The second one :

data = {"roomId": group["id"]}
response=requests.post(ROCKET_URL + "groups.delete", data=json.dumps(data), headers={'Content-Type':'application/json', 'X-Auth-Token':authentification["auth_token"], 'X-User-Id':authentification["user_id"]})

It seems all right to me

Thanks,

Rémy

Does the first response give an _id or id?

If I pass the roomName instead of the roomId, I've got the same error.

Rémy
Where exactly did you specify the groups variable that you are using in your data.
From the first get call, you may want to do something like response.json()["groups"][0]["_id"] to get the _id of the first group.

Check your logic very well. I don't think it has to do that much with the server.

rmjstn · 2020-03-23T10:15:39Z

Hello,

The API method groups.counters works, but not the method groups.info !!!???

With this Python script :

1 -
response=requests.get(ROCKET_URL + "groups.counters?roomId=" + group["id"], headers={'Content-Type':'application/json', 'X-Auth-Token':authentification["auth_token"], 'X-User-Id':authentification["user_id"]})
print(response.request.url)
print(response.text)
2 -
response=requests.get(ROCKET_URL + "groups.info?roomId=" + group["id"], headers={'Content-Type':'application/json', 'X-Auth-Token':authentification["auth_token"], 'X-User-Id':authentification["user_id"]})
print(response.request.url)    
print(response.text)
3 -
data = {"roomId": group["id"]}
response=requests.post(ROCKET_URL + "groups.delete", data=json.dumps(data), headers={'Content-Type':'application/json', 'X-Auth-Token':authentification["auth_token"], 'X-User-Id':authentification["user_id"]})
print(response.request.url)   
print(response.text)
print(response.request.headers)
print(response.request.body)

I've got this output :

1 -

@rmjstn Did you solve your previous problem?

No, :-(

Does the user you're using in the api calls have the permission to see private rooms or delete rooms? Usually that's the error when you try to open a room you have no permission to see. (assuming rid is correct)

Beeez · 2020-05-01T19:58:13Z

I am attempting to do similar. I have Admin role and it fails when I try and delete the room. I am not a member of the room I am attempting to delete.

Once I was added to the room I was able to delete it.

Admin role does have Delete Private Channels and View Private Room as a permission which my user is a part of.

/api/v1/groups.delete

{"success":false,"error":"The required \"roomId\" or \"roomName\" param provided does not match any channel [error-room-not-found]","errorType":"error-room-not-found"}

Does the user you're using in the api calls have the permission to see private rooms or delete rooms? Usually that's the error when you try to open a room you have no permission to see. (assuming rid is correct)

Not OP but I had tested this on both 3.0.3 and 3.2.0 and both of them will not allow admins to use to groups.delete API endpoint unless they are a member of that group.

Beeez · 2020-05-18T16:44:24Z

gabriellsh added the feat: api label on Mar 25

Is this really a feature? The feature exists but its bugged, so it should be marked as such.

gabriellsh · 2020-05-19T00:28:39Z

The tag serves as an indicator to what feature it's related (at least I use them as if they were).

I am also hitting the same. Any fix for this. My admin have to delete some private rooms from rest api.
Having permissions for admin.
Same for room details update. Admin can't update room details from rest api.

Can you please deploy a fix urgently

sudhir-sars · 2025-01-08T07:38:27Z

I was able to reproduce the issue where the API call fails when the admin is not part of the private group. Here are the two scenarios I tested:

When the admin is not part of the private group:

and When the admin is part of the group:
