@Component
public class GetGroupCmd {
    static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(GetGroupCmd.class);

    @Autowired
    GroupsApi groupsApi;

    public void execute(String groupId) throws IOException {
        List<String> fields = null;
        List<String> include = null;

        GroupEntry groupEntry = groupsApi.getGroup(groupId, include, fields).getBody();
        LOGGER.info("Got group metadata  {}", groupEntry.getEntry());
    }
}

Executing this code will get metadata for a group, in this case we are getting metadata for a group with id hr, note that you have to prefix group ids with GROUP_:
