The purpose is to provide a way for (non-webapp) clients,
like the mobile and terminal apps, to tell whether the
server it's talking to is new enough to support a given
API feature -- in particular a way that
* is finer-grained than release numbers, so that for
features developed after e.g. 2.1.0 we can use them
immediately on servers deployed from master (like
chat.zulip.org and zulipchat.com) without waiting the
months until a 2.2 release;
* is reliable, unlike e.g. looking at the number of
commits since a release;
* doesn't lead to a growing bag of named feature flags
which the server has to go on sending forever.
Tweaked by tabbott to extend the documentation.
Closes#14618.
Openapi had descriptive response codes for endpoints with multiple
responses for same response code. But this does not fall in line
with openapi specifications. So change descriptive response codes
like "400_auth" and "400_anauth" to "400_0" and "400_1" for all
such endpoints. Also make the necessary changes in openapi.py so
as to be able to read the schema in such cases and generate example
in such cases.
This commit reuses the existing infrastructure for moving a topic
within a stream to add support for moving topics from one stream to
another.
Split from the original full-feature commit so that we can merge just
the backend, which is finished, at this time.
This is a large part of #6427.
The feature is incomplete, in that we don't have real-time update of
the frontend to handle the event, documentation, etc., but this commit
is a good mergable checkpoint that we can do further work on top of.
We also still ideally would have a test_events test for the backend,
but I'm willing to leave that for follow-up work.
This appears to have switched to tabbott as the author during commit
squashing sometime ago, but this commit is certainly:

This commit migrates zulip outging webhook payload to
/zulip-outgoing-webhook:post in OpenAPI.
Since this migrates the last payloads from api/fixtures.json to
OpenAPI, this commit removes api/fixtures.json file and the functions
accessing the file.
Tweaked by tabbott to further remove an unnecessary conditional.
Migrate "call_on_each_event" from api/arguments.json to
/events:real-time in OpenAPI.
This is a bit of a hack, but it lets us eliminate this secondary
arguments.json file, which is probably worth it.
Tweaked by tabbott to fix various formatting issues in the original
documentation while I was looking at it.
Most part of "/message/{message_id}" is migrated to OpenAPI. This commit
migrated the remaning payload "update-message-edit-permission-error"
from "api/fixtures.json" to OpenAPI. This commit also fixes an error
schema in "zulip.yaml" for this payload.
I verified there are no other endpoints we've added since Zulip 2.1,
so at least this part of our documentation is accurate.
We added the `/realm/export` endpoints in Zulip 2.1, but those don't
have documentation yet, so we'll just need to remember to cover this
when they are added.
This refactors remove_reaction in python_examples.py to validate the
result with validate_against_openapi_schema. Minor changes and some
additions have been made to the OpenAPI format data for
/messages/{message_id}/reactions endpoint.
This refactors add_reaction in python_examples.py to use the
openapi_test_function decorator and validate result with
validate_against_openapi_schema. Minor changes have been made to the
OpenAPI format data for /messages/{message_id}/reactions endpoint.
This also adds add-emoji.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
add-emoji to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
This refactors get_members_backend to return user data of a single
user in the form of a dictionary (earlier being a list with a single
dictionary).
This also refactors it to return the data with an appropriate key
(inside a dictionary), "user" or "members", according to the type of
data being returned.
Tweaked by tabbott to use somewhat less opaque code and simple OpenAPI
descriptions.
This adds update_user to python_examples.py in zerver/openapi.
This also adds update-user.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
update-user to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
This adds deactivate_user to python_examples.py in zerver/openapi.
This also adds delete-user.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
delete-user to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
This adds get_single_user to python_examples.py in zerver/openapi.
This also adds get-single-user.md to templates/zerver/api and adds
get-single-user to rest-endpoints.md (templates/zerver/help/include).
This commit includes a new `stream_post_policy` setting,
by replacing the `is_announcement_only` field from the Stream model,
which is done by mirroring the structure of the existing
`create_stream_policy`.
It includes the necessary schema and database migrations to migrate
the is_announcement_only boolean field to stream_post_policy,
a smallPositiveInteger field similar to many other settings.
This change is done to allow organization administrators to restrict
new members from creating and posting to a stream. However, this does
not affect admins who are new members.
With many tweaks by tabbott to documentation under /help, etc.
Fixes#13616.
Lists API client bindings/libraries/wrappers and makes a distinction
between official core projects and community projects.
Tweaked by tabbott to sort the community and outdated libraries, and
restructure how we talk about other projects.
Fixes#2093.
Apparently, the refactor months ago that introduced finalize_payload
wasn't applied to the outgoing webhook code path, resulting in message
dicts with an unexpected format with no avatar_url and some extra
values that were intended to be internal details not relevant to
external clients.
Because this API is not widely used, we expect there to be little to
no impact of converting this back to matching the `get_messages`
interface, as it once was and has always been intended to be.
The one somewhat tricky detail is that we include both the `content`
and `rendered_content` fields, rather than asking the client to pick
which they want via the `apply_markdown` flag, because there is no
place for the client to configure that setting.
The main purpose of this is to make that name change happen in
/server_settings. external_authentication_methods is a much better, more
descriptive name than social_backends from API perspective.
These are returned through the API, at the /server_settings
endpoint. It's better to just return the list of dicts with a guarantee
of being sorted in the correct order, than to clutter things with the
sort_order field.
new_name and description params should be valid JSON
strings. The format of these params are marked as
json so that the curl example genenrator can convert
them into json strings.
These docs had a number of typos, and also didn't fully clarify how to
handle lists of integers for `pm-with`.
Also makes some tweaks to the user docs to make this clearer as well.
Fixes#13167.
Without disturbing the flow of the existing code for configuring
embedded bots too much, we now use the config_options feature to
allow incoming webhook type bot to be configured via. the "/bots"
endpoint of the API.
This was used as a helper to construct the final display_recipient when
fetching messages. With the new mechanism of constructing
display_recipient by fetching appropriate users/streams from the
database and cache, this shouldn't be needed anymore.
The `users/me/subscriptions` endpoint accidentally started returning
subscriber information for each stream. This is convenient, but
unnecessarily costly for those clients which either don't need it
(most API apps) or already acquire this information via /register
(including Zulip's apps).
This change removes that data set from the default response. Clients
which had come to rely on it, or would like to rely on it in future,
may still access it via an additional documented API parameter.
Fixes#12917.
Now that we can create cURL examples based on the OpenAPI
documentation. We can begin using simple one line tags in
the documentation instead of manually creating cURL examples.
Fixes part of #12878.
This commit progress our efforts to reduce pending_endpoints
as well as to migrate away from templates/zerver/api/fixtures
and towards our OpenAPI documentation.
Similar to commit d62b75fc.
The issue here was that the endpoint was documented as being
contactable by bots when in reality we have a require_member_or_admin
decorator on the endpoint. So bots and guests cannot contact it.
The issue with the previous example was that it sent the data as
POST variables. This corrected example appropriately encodes data
(with URL encoding) and sends it as GET variables.
In commit 7c71e98, we added a special exception for the
/users/me/subscriptions endpoint in the automatic validation test.
By adding some extra documentation, we now remove this extra code,
as well as the endpoint from the list of pending endpoints.
The previous code for the validator test was fairly messy due to
checking for both formats of the openapi url, one with
<variable_name> and the other with {variable_name}. To eliminate
this, we have standardized the format and restricted it to
{variable_name} as per the official format at:
https://swagger.io/docs/specification/describing-parameters.
For storing HTTP headers as a function of fixture name, previously
we required that the fixture_to_headers method should reside in a
separate module called headers.py.
However, as in many cases, this method will only take a few lines,
we decided to move this function into the view.py file of the
integration instead of requiring a whole new file called headers.py
This commit introduces the small change in the system architecture,
migrates the GitHub integration, and updates the docs accordingly.
In the GitHub integration we established that for many integrations,
we can directly map the fixture filename to the set of required
headers and by following a simple naming convention we can greatly
ease the logic involved in fixture_to_headers method required .
So to prevent the need for duplicating the logic used by the GitHub
integration, we created a method called `get_http_headers_from_filename`
which will take the name of the HTTP header (key) and then return a
corresponding method (in a decorator-like fashion) which could then be
equated to fixture_to_headers in headers.py.
The GitHub integration was modified to use this method and the docs
were updated to suggest using this when possible.
Using this system, we can now associate any fixture of any integration
with a particular set of HTTP headers. A helper method called
determine_http_headers was introduced, and the test suite was upgraded
to use determine_http_headers.
Comments and documentation significantly edited by tabbott.
We also document support for user IDs in the pm-with narrow operator.
Edited by tabbott to document on /api rather than in the /help page.
Fixes part of #9474.
This makes it a lot more useful for understanding how our flag update
endpoints work.
With significant edits by tabbott to explain what these are.
Fixes#12092.
This commit also adds a small functionality change where the results of
each webhook fixture message sent is now displayed to the user.
With a small tweak by tabbott to fix a styling bug.
Fixes#12122.
This commit introduces a simple field where the user can now specify custom
HTTP headers. This commit does not introduce an improved system for storing
HTTP headers as fixtures - such a change would modify both the existing unit
tests as well as this devtool.
This commit adds a new developer tool: The "integrations dev panel"
which will serve as a replacement for the send_webhook_fixture_message
management command as a way to test integrations with much greater ease.
When passing arguments with the `-d` syntax, which is convenient for
command-line examples, one needs to specify `-X GET` for curl to work
properly.
Fixes#12116
We still create a Python 2 virtualenv for thumbor but that’s
separate (/srv/zulip-thumbor-venv from
scripts/lib/create-thumbor-venv).
Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>
Since the Zulip API runs on both developement and production
servers, it is misleading to mention "dev servers" when discussing
zuliprc files.
Also, note that it is better to manually edit all of our JS
examples than to implement macro-like functionality that we use
for our Python examples. For our current purposes, it would be
too much work to build a full-blown testing framework for our
JS code examples just so that we can fix a minor wording issue.
Fixes#10672.
This adds a new realm_logo field, which is a horizontal-format logo to
be displayed in the top-left corner of the webapp, and any other
places where we might want a wide-format branding of the organization.
Tweaked significantly by tabbott to rebase, fix styling, etc.
Fixing the styling of this feature's loading indicator caused me to
notice the loading indicator for the realm_icon feature was also ugly,
so I fixed that too.
Fixes#7995.
The testing section is more appropriate, since it's fundamentally part
of our CI system.
While we're at it, fix the fact that we were linking to GitHub, not
ReadTheDocs, in the run-mypy output.
For the PHP link, I just found an equivalent link that detailed
some well-known PHP security vulnerabilities.
As for the now defunct RequestBin, another instance is hosted
by another domain, so we can recommend using that for now.
I rewrote the section explaining what the
endpoint sends back to the server. This fixes
a few typos, emphasizes the normal case, and
starts to favor "content" as the key for
content.
Tweaked by tabbott to use a declared constant rather than just use
5000 in multiple places; this also means we can change the count
without updating translations.
Fixes#10446.
This switches us to use the correct timestamp, service_id and token
formats. The 'service_id' should be the ID of the bot user. The token
should be a sample token generated from 'random_api_key()'.
This is essential for using simplebar, since simplebar doesn't account
for parent <div> paddings, which might cause scrollbars to be mispositioned
if not considered.
This commit carves out the overview for incoming webhooks and
moves it to its own file. This is a much better way to structure
these docs.
This is a quick follow-up to Tim Abbott's comment on #9592.
I only renamed references that I thought were absolutely necessary
and only if the resulting sentence structure wasn't awkward.
If the renaming resulted in awkward structure, I replaced the term
"webhook" with "integration" (but only in some very obvious cases).
Fixes#9500.
The Botserver uses section headers in the flaskbotrc to
determine which bot to run. Silently setting the section
headers to a bot's username is confusing and makes it
harder for Botserver users to figure out how to get the
Botserver to run the bots they want. This commit empties
all flaskbotrc section headers and thus makes the assignment
of bots explicit and mandatory.
Previously, the Botserver determined which bot to run for an
outgoing webhook by dispatching on a different URL endpoint
for each bot. Now, instead, the Botserver determines which bot
to run by the section header of the bot in the flaskbotrc.
This commit makes the frontend provide the new flaskbotrc
and updates the setup steps for the Botserver in the docs.
UnexpectedWebhookEventType is a generic exception that we may
now raise when we encounter a webhook event that is new or one
that we simply aren't aware of.
We were devoting too much space/text to documenting our Markdown
macro. It is much more concise to just have a description and a
link to an example doc for each major macro.
This fixes several super-confusing things in these docs. Bot services
aren't a user-facing concept, and also, you need the URL before
creating the bot users.
