Name and shortcode follow standard sanitation functions:

{
    "error": {
        "message": "name did not pass sanitization‚ shortCode did not pass sanitization",
        "status_code": 400
    }

/groups/<group-id>/galleries

{name: "E1", description: "E2", membersOnly: false}

name - required

[Foorack]

Keeping this open as groups/<groupId>/instances is missing, but that is broken.

And /groups/strictsearch?query=abc

All GroupMember examples in the documentation have "membershipStatus": "member". The GroupMember examples displayed for the respective endpoints should be updated to display:

• When in response to a join request or representing a user who requested to join, but whose request hasn't yet been approved: "membershipStatus": "requested".
• When in response to requesting the list of invited members who haven't yet accepted their invites ("Sent" in the website): "membershipStatus": "invited"
• When the user is banned (in addition to the ban date): "membershipStatus": "banned"

(all of these have been tested.)

Maybe one more thing: They changed recently that you can create multiple announcements, so Endpoint /groups/{groupId}/announcement is not used by VRC anymore (at least on website) instead they have new Posts Apis:

Read Posts

GET /groups/{groupId}/posts?n=10&offset=0&publicOnly=false Reponse looks like:

Delete Post

DELETE /groups/{groupId}/posts/not_a9f5f5d8-c1c7-4d1c-a228-f1b6140d29b5

Reponse:

{
    "success": {
         "message":"Group post was deleted!",
         "status_code":200
     }
}

Fields:

• visibility can be "public" or "group" - can be filtered on get request with publicOnly=true
• roleIds can contain Ids only if visibility is "group" - therefore post is only shown inside group to defined roles
• don't know what editorId is on Reponses....
