Question

Is there a way to create a private group using the "yammer API"?

Answer 1

You can use below code

yam.platform.request({
                    // yam.request({
                    url: "groups.json?name=Group_Name&private=true",
                    method: "POST",
                    data: {},
                    success: function (group) {
                        console.dir(group);
                        getMyGroups();
                    },

                    error: function (group) {
                        console.error("There was an error with the request.");
                    }
                });

No. You can only join/leave an existing group for the current user. See https://developer.yammer.com/restapi/#rest-groups
