I am testing out Netbird API and created a Group with the following python code excluded the peer.

import requests
import json

url = "https://<my_network>/api/groups"
payload = json.dumps({
  "name": "devs",
  "resources": [
    {
      "id": "chacdk86lnnboviihd7g",
      "type": "host"
    }
  ]
})
headers = {   
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',  
  'Accept': 'application/json',
  'Authorization': 'Token <my_token>'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

It was successfully created with this being returned.
{"id":"cv9cidkig2os73e68gng","issued":"api","name":"devs","peers":null,"peers_count":0,"resources":[{"id":"chacdk86lnnboviihd7g","type":"host"}],"resources_count":1}

But when I went to the Netbird Dashboard I don't see a network resource even though it shows in devs group that there is 1 Network Resource associated.

I tried to delete the Network Resource via API but got null in return. Now I am not sure how I can delete it.

Hi @YapWC,

did you ever create a resource? I saw you created a group and assigned a resourceID to that group. The groups endpoint does not check if all the peers and resources you define actually exist. So my guess is the script just added a non-existing ID to the group. To delete the group just keep using the API. Send an update request for the group with an empty array of resources. That should clear the group and you will be able to delete it from the dashboard.

I will note for us to update the groups endpoint to actually check the existence of a resource before adding it to the group.

Hi @pascal-fischer yeap your explanation is spot on and I have tried your method to update the group with empty resource and was able to delete the user after that. Thanks for the help and proactiveness, much appreciated!
