The Yammer REST API is well documented here. On the other hand, you might miss some documentation regarding some endpoints on that page. For example, there is no notion about how to interact with Yammer Groups. Fortunately, with a little bit of network tracing and by following the naming convention of the other endpoints, you might be able to identify how to interact with groups quite easily. This post summarizes how to access the groups endpoint.

You can generate the baerer token (access token) as described in this post.

Always consider the REST API and Rate Limits when accessing a Yammer network.
