How to query datasets by group with CKAN API?

Question

I have managed to create a query to get datasets by tags. For reference I have the following query:

http://localhost/api/3/action/package_search?fq=tags:(my-first-tag%20AND%20my-second-tag)&rows=2

Now, I need to filter these results by the group also. I added a dataset to a group and can see the group as:

http://localhost/api/3/action/group_list

But how can I add the group to the previous query? I can't seem to find anything that works.

You can use the filter query (fq) to search using the group name. For e.g to search the datasets that are in the test group

https://demo.ckan.org/api/3/action/package_search?fq=groups:test-group

To include the two fq, we need to make the query like this:

http://localhost/api/3/action/package_search?fq=tags:(my-tag-1%20AND%20my-tag-2)+groups:my-group-1&rows=2
