Creating google groups programmatically

Question

I need to create a google group using my google app engine application. Please guide me where should i look for info regarding this. Where should i start my learning.

Answer 1

Groups can be created with the groups.insert() API call which is part of the Admin SDK Directory API. Note that it's only possible for Google Apps Administrators to programatically create Google Groups within their domain, non-Google Apps accounts cannot create groups via this API.

Answer 2

There is no API for creating groups outside of a Google Apps domain you control.

Answer from Jay is the best starting point if you decide to manage this within a domain.
