Yes, when the group shows on their profile. Send the slug after /in/ in their profile link as publicId to get each group’s name, link, logo and member count.

How do I get more of them?

Send the nextStart from the response back as start to get the next page, and repeat until nextStart is null.

Send a POST request to https://api.bridgly.app/linkedin/get-profile-interests/groups with publicId in the JSON body and your API key in the Authorization header.
