Wa-automate-nodejs: Get list of groups that i'm admin of?

[tinyCoder32]

Hi, is there a function that queries the groups that I am admin in, without having to loop through all the groups metadatas?

Thanks.

@tinyCoder32 I don't think there's any other way to do this but it would be quicker if it was in wapi instead of looping in the client.

[tinyCoder32]

I was hoping to find a way other than query 100 or 200 groups metadata members to check if the user is admin there or not.

Is there a similar feature to easily see this on WhatsApp itself?

[tinyCoder32]

No Mohammed, there is no way as far as I know.

Hi, thanks for your efforts. I think you should also add iAmSuperAdmin(). However, something is wrong there. Out of 25 groups that I am admin of, or creator, it only returned 4 groups, even with using iAmSuperAdmin.

Any suggestions?

[tinyCoder32]

I see now, when i click on the groups one by one (in WhatsApp Web), it querys the metadata, then your functions works and count the missing groups.
