  "message": "Success",
  "results": {
    "group_id": "120363402106XXXXX@g.us",
    "name": "Project Team",
    "participants": [
      {
        "jid": "628123456789@s.whatsapp.net",
        "phone_number": "+628123456789",
        "lid": "lid_value",
        "display_name": "John Doe",
        "is_admin": true,
        "is_super_admin": false
      }
    ]
  }
}

CSV Export

# Export group participants as CSV
GET /group/participants/export?group_id={group_jid}

# Response: CSV file download
# Headers: JID,Phone Number,LID,Display Name,Role
# Data: Complete participant information in CSV format

Usage Examples

// Get group participants
const response = await fetch(`/group/participants?group_id=${groupId}`, {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
});

const data = await response.json();
if (data.code === 200) {
  console.log('Participants:', data.results.participants);
  
  // Count admins
  const adminCount = data.results.participants.filter(p => p.is_admin).length;
  console.log('Admin count:', adminCount);
}

// Export as CSV
const csvResponse = await fetch(`/group/participants/export?group_id=${groupId}`);
const csvBlob = await csvResponse.blob();
const downloadUrl = URL.createObjectURL(csvBlob);

// Trigger download
const link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = downloadUrl;
link.download = `group_participants_${Date.now()}.csv`;
link.click();

📊 CSV Export Format

The CSV export provides structured data in the following format: 

JID,Phone Number,LID,Display Name,Role
