# YouTube Analytics API . groups

## Instance Methods

Close httplib2 connections.

Deletes a group.

Creates a group.

Returns a collection of groups that match the API request parameters. For example, you can retrieve all groups that the authenticated user owns, or you can retrieve one or more groups by their unique IDs.

Retrieves the next page of results.

Modifies a group. For example, you could change a group's title.

### Method Details

`close()`

    Close httplib2 connections.

`delete(id=None, onBehalfOfContentOwner=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Deletes a group.

    Args:
      id: string, The `id` parameter specifies the YouTube group ID of the group that is being deleted.
      onBehalfOfContentOwner: string, This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. **Note:** This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. The `onBehalfOfContentOwner` parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. It allows content owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel. The account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner.
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:
