List community members
vk_groups_get_membersRead-onlyIdempotent
Retrieve members of a VK community. Returns user IDs or selected profile fields, but many communities hide their member list, leading to an access error.
Instructions
List the members of a community. Returns bare user IDs unless you ask for fields, in which case it returns profiles. Many communities hide their member list, which comes back as an access error rather than an empty list.
