First, you need to make sure you are in a group. Of course, it is not possible to get information about the members of a group without being a member.

After that, you will need to get a list of your groups:

{% embed url="<https://whapi.readme.io/reference/getgroups>" %}

The response to the query will contain an array of information, including group members `"participants": []`:

```json
{
      "id": "120367831605595066@g.us",
      "name": "A group of researchers",
      "type": "group",
      "timestamp": 1699349020,
      "archive": true,
      "last_message": {

        {
