# Method name: getGroupBySlug(slug: string, options: GetGroupBySlugOptions)

# Method package: wixGroupsV2

# Method menu location: wixGroupsV2 --> groups --> getGroupBySlug

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-groups-v2/groups/get-group-by-slug.md

# Method Description:

Retrieves a group by slug.

The slug is the end of a group's URL that refers to a specific group.
For example, if a group's URL is `https:/example.com/groups/{my-fitness-group}`, the slug is `my-fitness-group`.
Slugs are case-sensitive. It is generally based on the group name, but for secret groups it is an autogenerated string of characters,
for example, `https:/example.com/groups/{5D3yTX}`.

For groups with `group.privacyStatus` set to `SECRET`, only group admins and group members can see the group and its content.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.
