How to join the new google groups with a link / api

Viewed 807

I have a google group that I would like people to be able to join from my website by either clicking a link or filling out a form, either of which should not require any further authorisation from the group managers/owners.

Is it possible to join a google group through clicking a link? For example: groups.google.com/g/groupname/join ? I know that for the classic google groups, one can join like this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/groupname/join, but I was wondering if this is still posiible with the updated/new google groups?

Is it possible to add a member to the google group through an api call?

Thank you.
