Fetch a development API key

For easy testing of mobile apps and other clients and against Zulip development servers, we support fetching a Zulip API key for any user on the development server without authentication (so that they can implement analogues of the one-click login process available for Zulip development servers on the web).

Note: This endpoint is only available on Zulip development servers; for obvious security reasons it will always return an error in a Zulip production server.

POST {{ api_url }}/v1/dev_fetch_api_key

Usage examples

{start_tabs} {tab|curl}

curl -X POST {{ api_url }}/v1/dev_fetch_api_key \
    -u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
    -d "username=iago@zulip.com"

{end_tabs}

Arguments

{generate_api_arguments_table|zulip.yaml|/dev_fetch_api_key:post}

Response

Return values

api_key: The API key that can be used to authenticate as the requested user.
email: The email address of the user who owns the API key.

Example response

A typical successful JSON response may look like:

{generate_code_example|/dev_fetch_api_key:post|fixture(200)}
