Having had repeatedly no joy with accessing groups settings via UrlFetch in GoogleAppsScript I looked to test the basic query I was using according to the docs in the APIs Explorer
UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://www.googleapis.com/groups/v1/groups/exampleGroupId@example.com?key={YOUR_API_KEY}', fetchArgs);
Never completes a round tring
The fact that the APIs explorer also fails with similar errors at least gives me some comfort, but where to report the failing?
GET https://www.googleapis.com/groups/v1/groups/exampleGroupId@example.com?key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Authorization: Bearer ya29....[snip]
X-JavaScript-User-Agent: Google APIs Explorer
gives

Is the API borked?
