The term `parameter` is a better word than `argument` for data passed
to an API endpoint; this is why OpenAPI uses in their terminology.
Replace `argument` with `parameter` in the API docs to improve their
readability.
Fixes#15435.
Currently response return values have to be written twice, once in
the docs and once in zulip.yaml. Create a markdown extension so
that the return values in api docs are rendered using content from
zulip.yaml
I imagine this can be improved in various ways, but I've initialized
this with all the **Changes** entries recorded in either zulip.yaml or
the rest of the API documentation, and I expect we'll be able to
iterate on this effectively.
It'll also be useful as a record of changes that we should remember to
document the API documentation as we document more endpoints that
currently don't discuss these issues.
While working on this, I fixed various issues where feature levels
could be mentioned or endpoints didn't properly document changes.
Firstly, change endpoint descriptions in zulip.yaml so that they
match their counterpart in the api docs. Then edit the api docs
so that they use api description markdown extension for displaying
endpoint description.
Previously, the message and event APIs represented the user differently
for the same reaction data. To make this more consistent, I added a
user_id field to the reaction dict for both messages and events. I
updated the front end to use the user_id field rather than the user
dict. Lastly, I updated front end and back end tests that used user
info.
I primarily tested this by running my local Zulip build and
adding/removing reactions from messages.
Fixes#12049.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
