Answer 1

Try to acheive like this:

 

  var api_array = [
       {id: 1, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 1, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 1, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 2, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 2, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 2, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 3, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 3, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 3, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 4, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 4, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
       {id: 4, postcode: 'xxx', street: 'xxx', city: 'xxx'},
   ];
   
  const result = api_array.reduce((acc, item) => {
    acc[`group_${item.id}`] = (acc[`group_${item.id}`] || []);
    acc[`group_${item.id}`].push(item);
    return acc;
  }, {});

console.log(result);

Note: The result will have keys group_1, group_2 ... instead group_one, group_two ...

If you strictly need that, then make an array for key and values to convert 1 as one.
