title: Getting 503 / 404 errors trying to access Google Groups API to get settings
body: <p>I'm trying to use the RESTful method to retrieve A Google Groups settings, but all I get is 503 or 404 errors, or backend error messages.  I'm using the following URL:
  <a href="https://www.googleapis.com/groups/v1/groups/" rel="nofollow">https://www.googleapis.com/groups/v1/groups/</a>{my email address}
  Does this even work?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using the oauth2 gem and Ruby, the code works for the calendar but not the groups:</p>
  
  <p><code>groupdata = access_token.get('https.//www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/{my email address}').parsed</code></p>
  
  <p><code>groupdata = access_token.get('https.//www.googleapis.com/groups/v1/groups/{my email address}').parsed</code></p>
  
  <p>I'm defining the scope for the groups call as "<a href="https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.groups.settings" rel="nofollow">https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.groups.settings</a>"</p>
