get group description (aka topic)

[boldranet]

I see from the signal-cli documentation that it's possible to set a group description, and I can set the group description with a PUT to the v1/groups// endpoint, but how do I read the group description?

It looks like there are udpates sent when the description is changed, but when using an android client I can read the group description without getting updates (I can even see it before joining if joining via a link).

How can I get the group description text from the API without waiting around until someone updates the group?

The group's description should also be returned via the GET /v1/groups/<number> endpoint

I agree?

But the /description/ isn't returned.

I'm getting the fields

• admins
• blocked
• id
• internal_id
• invite_link
• members
• name
• pending_invites
• pending_requests

Okay, I see it was changed in 0.92 and I'm still running 0.91. Apparently my upgrade didn't work.
