## Arguments

{generate_api_arguments_table|zulip.yaml|/users/me/{stream_id}/topics:get}

## Response

* `topics`: An array of `topic` objects, which contain:
    * `name`: The name of the topic.
    * `max_id`: The message ID of the last message sent to this topic.

A typical successful JSON response may look like:

An example JSON response for when the user is attempting to fetch the topics
of a non-existing stream (or also a private stream they don't have access to):

{generate_code_example|/users/me/{stream_id}/topics:get|fixture(400)}
