I'm trying to get a list of usernames in a large group (117 people), but populate_users only returns 100 items. The function doesn't take an upper bound page size, so it sticks with 100

#Get list of Tableau_Publishers
group_list = server.groups.get()
group_num = range(len(group_list[0]))
#Find Tableau_Publisher Group ID
for i in group_num:
    if group_list[0][i].name == 'Tableau_Publishers':
        publisher_id = group_list[0][i]
        print server.groups.populate_users(publisher_id)
        print len(group_list[0][i].users)

Populate_users appears to obey the default REST API request pagination, but doesn't accept a setting to bump the page size, and there is no documentation on the Groups endpoint at all.

Default should either be higher than 100, or accept input on max size.

Hey Chris!

We've confirmed your CLA, thank you!

So, I floated a crazy idea by @benlower and it worked -- can we follow up offline? I think I have your email or can find it easily :)

(PS, there is a workaround for you today -- populate_groups does take a RequestOptions object, so you can pass it a page size of 1000 -- would that work for your use case?)

opts = TSC.RequestOptions(pageSize=1000)
server.groups.populate_users(group_item, opts)

Wooooo.

This should be fixed in development... check it out @cmtoomey and @ugamarkj!

Note, the code would now look like:

#Get list of Tableau_Publishers
group_list, _ = server.groups.get()

#Find Tableau_Publisher Group ID
for group in group_list:
    if group.name == 'Tableau_Publishers':
        server.groups.populate_users(group)
        print len(list(group.users))
        print "\n".join([u.name for u in group.users])
