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.
The Python bindings (which are used for bots, amongst other things) can
be configured either with a .zuliprc file or with environment variables
in the host machine.
This new page in the user docs explains how to set the bindings up using
both techniques, and is a good reference on the setup required by Zulip
bots.
It's actually "subscription" and "message" (neither is plural).
While we're at it, we should also remove the "pointer" event type,
since that's of generally low interest.
webhook-errors.log file is cluttered with Stream.DoesNotExist
errors, which hides the errors that we actually need to see. So,
since check_message already sends the bot_owner a PM if the webhook
bot tries to send a message to a non-existent stream, we can ignore
such exceptions.
This commit adds a generic function called check_send_webhook_message
that does the following:
* If a stream is specified in the webhook URL, it sends a stream
message, otherwise sends a PM to the owner of the bot.
* In the case of a stream message, if a custom topic is specified
in the webhook URL, it uses that topic as the subject of the
stream message.
Also, note that we need not test this anywhere except for the
helloworld webhook. Since helloworld is our default example for
webhooks, it is here to stay and it made sense that tests for a
generic function such as check_send_webhook_message be tested
with an actual generic webhook!
Fixes#8607.
Now, the fixtures.json file:
* Has all keys sorted alphabetically.
* Has a space after every `:`.
The file was generated using json.dumps with the appropriate
formatting parameters.
Note that this is one of the few fixtures that isn't tested against
a running server. But it still makes sense to move it to fixtures.json so
that it is rendered with indenting and a space after every `:` by
the api_code_example extension.
This commit adds a test for the sample fixture for when an invalid
stream name is passed to a query that expects a valid stream name
as an argument. This is the case with almost all of our queries
documented under the sidebar heading "Streams".
EDIT: Actually, I was wrong. This payload is highly specific to
get-stream-id, so it shouldn't be a part of common-error-payloads
at all.
In templates/zerver/api/delete-queue.md, we have a sample fixture
for when the queue_id passed to client.deregister_queue is not
valid or the event queue in question has already been deleted.
This commit tests that fixture.
Note that this error payload is specific to client.deregister_queue.
In templates/zerver/api/create-user.md, we have a sample fixture
for when a client attempts to create a user with the same email
as an existing user. This commit adds a test for that fixture.
Note that this error payload is specific to client.create_user
and this error payload isn't generated anywhere else.
In templates/zerver/api/add-subscriptions, we have a sample fixture
for when the user being subscribed is already subscribed to a
stream. This commit tests that fixture against a running server.
This commit adds tests for the fixture for when a user is not
authorized (perhaps because the query requires the use of admin
privileges) for a particular query.
In templates/zerver/api/update-message.md, we have a sample fixture
for when a zulip.Client does not have the permission to update/edit
a particular message. This commit adds a test for that fixture.
Also, tools/test-api now also uses a non-admin client for this test,
which might come in handy in the future.
This commit adds tests for the sample fixture for when a required
request argument is missing. Also, it moves the sample fixture
to common-error-payloads.md, since this is an error payload that
is common to most requests (except the ones that don't take any
arguments).
In templates/zerver/api/private-message.md, we have a sample fixture
for when the email address of the PM's recipient is invalid. This
commit makes sure that fixture is tested against a running server.
In templates/zerver/api/stream-message.md, we have a sample fixture
for when the target stream does not exist. This commit adds a test
for that sample fixture.
This commit modifies the Markdown extension in bugdown/api_code_examples.py
to support rendering code examples in multiple languages by specifying
the language like so:
{generate_code_example(python)|doc.md|example}
This makes us one step closer towards adding support for testable
JavaScript code examples.
We now have a separate page for common error payloads, for example,
the payload for when the client's API key is invalid. All error
payloads that are presented on this page will be tested similarly
to our other non-error sample fixtures.
To generate a code exammple,
{generate_code_example|<api_doc_md>|example} sounds better and
more intuitive than,
{generate_code_example|<api_doc_md>|method}

It makes sense to make our Python and JS API examples more visible
than our curl examples, since Python is what most people will tend
to use.
Also, from a design perspective, an API documentation page that
starts off with a shiny Python example with syntax highlighting
looked much better than having a bland curl example be the first
thing readers see.
The main cleanup here is to move the examples out of the bulleted
list, which was getting rendered in an ugly/confusing way.
I also removed some redundant text, fixed some typos, and changed
the wording a bit.
This commit documents the get-streams endpoint, which can be
by making a GET request to /api/v1/streams.
Note that in the code examples, JavaScript is missing an example
for how to pass in the `include_` query parameters. That is
because zulip-js's client.streams.retrieve function doesn't take
any arguments and zulip-js does not export any function equivalent
to client.call_endpoint in python-zulip-api/zulip.
The JS module we ask our users to install in the installation
instructions is zulip-js, not zulip. These examples would fail
with the latter. This commit updates the examples to use the
name zulip-js.
This commit does the following:
* Move the Arguments table data from stream-message.md and
private-message.md to a JSON file.
* Add a Markdown extension that allows one to include and render
a table from a JSON file like so:
{generate_arguments_table|arguments.json|private-stream.md}
* Use Bootstrap's .table class to format the table instead of
relying on custom CSS.
The JSON response for when an invalid API key is used to initiate
an API call seems to be identical in every case, so this macro
can be reused all the time.
The JSON response for when an API call to send a message is
successful is the same for both private and stream messages, so
these macros may be used again.
This commit adds the following:
* A table specifying the arguments that are required for this API
call.
* Examples of JSON responses.
This will help us in obsoleting api_endpoints.html.

This commit splits usage.md into two separate docs,
stream-message.md and private-message.md. The arguments and return
values for sending a stream message are somewhat different from
those of sending a private message, so it made sense to split the
two up for clarity.
This reverts commit 5a1869901. I reviewed this change and decided not
to merge it yet, but then I did anyway <_< >_>, along with some others
in the same PR.
The first part of this change is to have the "Your bots"
tooltip not lie about creating `.zuliprc`, because it
doesn't put a dot in front of the file.
And then the more significant change here is to make
the "Running a bot" documentation use realistic filepaths,
both in terms of where the download typically puts the file,
and where you want to move it to.
This should get test-documentation and test-help-documentation passing
again after we moved everything around in the last commit.
There are a lot more absolute links (generally in code comments) to
update, but they are lower-priority and can be done in a follow-up
pass.
In templates/zerver/api/main.html, since the current context isn't
passed to render_markdown_path when rendering an article,
render_markdown_path doesn't have the context to render values such
as api_url. This commit makes sure that it does by passing a dict
called api_uri_context to render_markdown_path when rendering an
article.
In addition to decreasing the excessive number of bundles we had, this
will set us up to fix rendering of code blocks when clicking the
sidebar links in the /api-new site.
This commit allows for the /api-new/ page to rendered similarly to our
/help pages. It's based on the old content for /api, but we're not
replacing the old content yet, to give a bit of time to restructure
things reasonably.
