Given the user's Zulip login credentials, it returns a Zulip API key that the client can use to make requests requests as the user. This endpoint is only useful for Zulip servers/organizations with EmailAuthBackend or LDAPAuthBackend enabled. The Zulip mobile apps also support SSO/social authentication (GitHub auth, Google auth, SAML, etc.) that does not use this endpoint. Instead, the mobile apps reuse the web login flow passing the `mobile_flow_otp` in a webview, and the credentials are returned to the app (encrypted) via a redirect to a `zulip://` URL. !!! warn "" **Note:** If you signed up using passwordless authentication and never had a password, you can [reset your password](/help/change-your-password). See the [API keys](/api/api-keys) documentation for more details on how to download API key manually.

These messages are guaranteed to have all been previously sent to stream `stream_id` with topic `orig_subject`, and have been moved to `new_stream_id` with topic `subject` (if those fields are present in the event). Clients processing these events should update all cached message history associated with the moved messages (including adjusting `unread_msgs` data structures, where the client may not have the message itself in its history) to reflect the new stream and topic.

This parameter should be used to decide whether to change navigation and compose box state in response to the edit. For example, if the user was previously in topic narrow, and the topic was edited with `change_later` or `change_all`, the Zulip web app will automatically navigate to the new topic narrow. Similarly, a message being composed to the old topic should have its recipient changed to the new topic. This navigation makes it much more convenient to move content between topics without disruption or messages continuing to be sent to the pre-edit topic by accident. enum: - change_one - change_later - change_all orig_subject: type: string description: | The pre-edit topic for all of the messages with IDs in `message_ids`.

read |
Whether the user has read the message. Messages start out unread (except for messages the user themself sent using a non-API client) and can later be marked as read. |
starred |
Whether the user has starred this message. |
collapsed |
Whether the user has collapsed this message. |
mentioned |
Whether the current user was mentioned by this message, either directly or via a user group. Cannot be changed by the user directly, but can change if the message is edited to add/remove a mention of the current user. |
wildcard_mentioned |
Whether this message contained wildcard mention like @**all**. Cannot be changed by the user directly, but can change if the message is edited to add/remove a wildcard mention. |
has_alert_word |
Whether the message contains any of the current user's configured alert words. Cannot be changed by the user directly, but can change if the message is edited to add/remove one of the current user's alert words. |
historical |
True for messages that the user did not receive at the time they were sent but later was added to the user's history (E.g. because they starred or reacted to a message sent to a public stream before they subscribed to that stream). Cannot be changed by the user directly. |

This protocol is designed to allow the server-side typing notifications implementation to be stateless while being resilient; network failures cannot result in a user being incorrectly displayed as perpetually typing.

Muted streams do not count towards your total unread count and do not show up in `All messages` view (previously known as `Home` view). **Changes**: Prior to Zulip 2.1, this feature was represented by the more confusingly named `in_home_view` (with the opposite value, `in_home_view=!is_muted`). in_home_view: type: boolean deprecated: true description: | Legacy property for if the given stream is muted, with inverted meeting. **Deprecated**; clients should use is_muted where available. is_announcement_only: type: boolean deprecated: true description: | Whether only organization administrators can post to the stream. **Changes**: Deprecated in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 1), use `stream_post_policy` instead. is_web_public: type: boolean description: | Whether the stream has been configured to allow unauthenticated access to its message history from the web. role: type: integer enum: - 20 - 50 description: | The user's role within the stream (distinct from the user's [organization-level role](/help/roles-and-permissions)).
