/fetch_api_key:
post:
operationId: fetch-api-key
summary: Fetch an API key (production)
tags: ["authentication"]
description: |
This API endpoint is used by clients such as the Zulip mobile and
terminal apps to implement password-based authentication. Given the
user's Zulip login credentials, it returns a Zulip API key that the client
can use to make 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.
In a [Zulip development environment](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/overview.html),
see also [the unauthenticated variant](/api/dev-fetch-api-key).
parameters:
- name: username
in: query
description: |
The username to be used for authentication (typically, the email
address, but depending on configuration, it could be an LDAP username).
See the `require_email_format_usernames` parameter documented in
[GET /server_settings](/api/get-server-settings) for details.

/dev_fetch_api_key:
post:
operationId: dev-fetch-api-key
summary: Fetch an API key (development only)
tags: ["authentication"]
description: |
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.

operationId: get-events
summary: Get events from an event queue
tags: ["real_time_events"]
description: |
`GET {{ api_url }}/v1/events`
This endpoint allows you to receive new events from
[a registered event queue](/api/register-queue).
Long-lived clients should use the
`event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds` property returned by
`POST /register` as the client-side HTTP request timeout for
calls to this endpoint. It is guaranteed to be higher than
heartbeat frequency and should be respected by clients to
avoid breaking when heartbeat frequency increases.
x-curl-examples-parameters:
oneOf:
- type: include
parameters:
enum:
- queue_id
- last_event_id
x-parameter-description: |
**Note**: The parameters documented above are optional in the sense that
even if you haven't registered a queue by explicitly requesting the
`{{ api_url}}/v1/register` endpoint, you could pass the parameters for
[the `{{ api_url}}/v1/register` endpoint](/api/register-queue) to this
endpoint and a queue would be registered in the absence of a `queue_id`.
x-python-examples-extra-imports: ["sys"]
parameters:

module](https://github.com/zulip/python-zulip-api) for an
example implementation of correctly processing each event
exactly once.

One should use the standard Zulip rendered_markdown CSS when

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

Content changes should be applied only to the single message
indicated by `message_id`.
flags:
type: array
description: |
The user's personal [message flags][message-flags] for the
message with ID `message_id` following the edit.
A client application should compare these to the original flags
to identify cases where a mention or alert word was added by the
edit.

items:
type: string
edit_timestamp:
type: integer
description: |
The time when this message edit operation was processed by the
server.
**Changes**: As of Zulip 5.0 (feature level 114), this field
is present for all `update_message` events. Previously, this
field was omitted for [inline URL preview][inline-url-previews]
updates.
stream_name:
type: string
description: |
Only present if the message was edited and originally sent to a stream.
The name of the stream that the message was sent to. Clients
are recommended to use the `stream_id` field instead.
stream_id:
type: integer
description: |
Only present if the message was edited and originally sent to a stream.
The pre-edit stream for all of the messages with IDs in
`message_ids`.
**Changes**: As of Zulip 5.0 (feature level 112), this field
is present for all edits to a stream message. Previously, it
was not present when only the content of the stream message was
edited.
new_stream_id:
type: integer
description: |
Only present if message(s) were moved to a different stream.
The post-edit stream for all of the messages with IDs in
`message_ids`.
propagate_mode:
type: string
description: |
Only present if this event moved messages to a different
topic and/or stream.
The choice the editing user made about which messages should be
affected by a stream/topic edit:
- `change_one` => Just change the one indicated in `message_id`.
- `change_later` => Change messages in the same topic that had
been sent after this one.
- `change_all`=> Change all messages in that 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.

Event sent to users who can administer a bot user when the bot is
configured. Clients may also receive a `realm_user` event that
for changes in public data about the bot (name, etc.).
The `realm_user` events are sufficient for clients that
only need to interact with the bot; this `realm_bot` event
type is relevant only for administering bots.
Only organization administrators and the user who owns the bot will
receive this event.

The simpler of two possible event types sent to all users
in a Zulip organization when the configuration of the
organization (realm) has changed.
Often individual settings are migrated from this format to
the [realm/update_dict](#realm-update_dict) event format when additional realm
settings are added whose values are coupled to each other
in some way. The specific values supported by this event
type are documented in the [realm/update_dict](#realm-update_dict)
documentation.
A correct client implementation should convert these
events into the corresponding [realm/update_dict](#realm-update_dict)
event and then process that.

Event sent to all users in a Zulip organization when the
organization (realm) is deactivated. Its main purpose is to
flush active longpolling connections so clients can immediately
show the organization as deactivated.
Clients cannot rely on receiving this event, because they will
no longer be able to authenticate to the Zulip API due to the
deactivation, and thus can miss it if they did not have an active
longpolling connection at the moment of deactivation.
Correct handling of realm deactivations requires that clients
parse authentication errors from GET /events; if that is done
correctly, the client can ignore this event type and rely on its
handling of the `GET /events` request it will do immediately
after processing this batch of events.

Event sent to all the users whenever the Zulip server restarts.
Specifically, this event is sent whenever the Tornado process
for the user is restarted; in particular, this will always happen
when the Zulip server is upgraded.
Clients can use this event to know when they should get a new
event queue after a server upgrade. Clients doing so must implement
a random delay strategy to spread such restarts over 10 minutes or
more to avoid creating a synchronized thundering herd effect.

zulip_feature_level:
type: integer
description: |
The [Zulip feature level](/api/changelog) of the server

Clients can safely avoid refetching their state and
creating a new event queue when the API feature level has not

is not relevant to the client (E.g. it just adds a new endpoint
that the client doesn't use).
**Changes**: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 59).

Fetch message history from a Zulip server.
`GET {{ api_url }}/v1/messages`
This `GET /api/v1/messages` endpoint is the primary way to fetch
message history from a Zulip server. It is useful both for Zulip
clients (e.g. the web, desktop, mobile, and terminal clients) as well
as bots, API clients, backup scripts, etc.
By specifying a [narrow filter](/api/construct-narrow), you can use
this endpoint to fetch the messages matching any search query that is
supported by Zulip's powerful full-text search backend.
When a narrow is not specified, it can be used to fetch a user's
message history. (We recommend paginating to 1000 messages at a time.)
In either case, you specify an `anchor` message (or ask the server to
calculate the first unread message for you and use that as the
anchor), as well as a number of messages before and after the anchor
message. The server returns those messages, sorted by message ID, as
well as some metadata that makes it easy for a client to determine
whether there are more messages matching the query that were not
returned due to the `num_before` and `num_after` limits.
We recommend using `num_before <= 1000` and `num_after <= 1000` to
avoid generating very large HTTP responses. A maximum of 5000 messages
can be obtained per request; attempting to exceed this will result in an
error.

enum:
- client_gravatar

parameters:
- name: anchor

description: |
Integer message ID to anchor fetching of new messages. Supports special
string values for when the client wants the server to compute the anchor
to use:
- `newest`: The most recent message.
- `oldest`: The oldest message.
- `first_unread`: The oldest unread message matching the
query, if any; otherwise, the most recent message.
The special values of `'newest'` and `'oldest'` are also supported
for anchoring the query at the most recent or oldest messages.
**Changes**: String values are new in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 1). The
`first_unread` functionality was supported in Zulip 2.1.x
and older by not sending anchor and using use_first_unread_anchor.
In Zulip 2.1.x and older, `oldest` can be emulated with
`anchor=0`, and `newest` with `anchor=10000000000000000`
(that specific large value works around a bug in Zulip
2.1.x and older in the `found_newest` return value).

summary: Check if messages match a narrow
tags: ["messages"]
description: |
Check whether a set of messages match a [narrow](/api/construct-narrow).
`GET {{ api_url }}/v1/messages/matches_narrow`
For many common narrows (E.g. a topic), clients can write an
efficient client-side check to determine whether a
newly arrived message belongs in the view.
This endpoint is designed to allow clients to handle more complex narrows
for which the client does not (or in the case of full-text search,
cannot) implement this check.
The format of the `match_subject` and `match_content` objects is designed to match
those of `GET /messages`, so that a client can splice these fields into a
`message` object received from `GET /events` and end up with an extended message
object identical to how a `GET /messages` for the current narrow would have
returned the message.

This endpoint [mutes a user](/help/mute-a-user). Messages sent by users
you've muted will be automatically marked as read and hidden.
`POST {{ api_url }}/v1/users/me/muted_users/{muted_user_id}`
Muted users should be implemented by clients as follows:
- The server will immediately mark all messages sent by the muted
user as read. This will automatically clear any existing mobile
push notifications related to the muted user.
- The server will mark any new messages sent by the muted user as read
for your account, which prevents all email and mobile push notifications.
- Clients should exclude muted users from presence lists or other UI
for viewing or composing 1:1 private messages. 1:1 private messages sent by
muted users should be hidden everywhere in the Zulip UI.
- Stream messages and group private messages sent by the muted
user should avoid displaying the content and name/avatar,
but should display that N messages by a muted user were
hidden (so that it is possible to interpret the messages by
other users who are talking with the muted user).
- Group private message conversations including the muted user
should display muted users as "Muted user", rather than
showing their name, in lists of such conversations, along with using
a blank grey avatar where avatars are displayed.
- Administrative/settings UI elements for showing "All users that exist
on this stream or realm", e.g. for organization
administration or showing stream subscribers, should display
the user's name as normal.

organization is using Zulip. (Note that this only supports
personal preference settings, like when to send push
notifications or what emoji set to use, not profile or
identity settings that naturally should be different for each user).
Note that this endpoint cannot, at present, be used to modify
settings for existing users in any way.

/register:
post:
operationId: register-queue
summary: Register an event queue
tags: ["real_time_events"]
description: |
`POST {{ api_url }}/v1/register`
This powerful endpoint can be used to register a Zulip "event queue"
(subscribed to certain types of "events", or updates to the messages
and other Zulip data the current user has access to), as well as to
fetch the current state of that data.
(`register` also powers the `call_on_each_event` Python API, and is
intended primarily for complex applications for which the more convenient
`call_on_each_event` API is insufficient).
This endpoint returns a `queue_id` and a `last_event_id`; these can be
used in subsequent calls to the
["events" endpoint](/api/get-events) to request events from
the Zulip server using long-polling.
The server will queue events for up to 10 minutes of inactivity.
After 10 minutes, your event queue will be garbage-collected. The
server will send `heartbeat` events every minute, which makes it easy
to implement a robust client that does not miss events unless the
client loses network connectivity with the Zulip server for 10 minutes
or longer.
Once the server garbage-collects your event queue, the server will
[return an error](/api/get-events#bad_event_queue_id-errors)
with a code of `BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID` if you try to fetch events from
the event queue. Your software will need to handle that error
condition by re-initializing itself (e.g. this is what triggers your
browser reloading the Zulip web app when your laptop comes back online
after being offline for more than 10 minutes).
When prototyping with this API, we recommend first calling `register`
with no `event_types` parameter to see all the available data from all
supported event types. Before using your client in production, you
should set appropriate `event_types` and `fetch_event_types` filters
so that your client only requests the data it needs. A few minutes
doing this often saves 90% of the total bandwidth and other resources
consumed by a client using this API.
See the
[events system developer documentation](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subsystems/events-system.html)
if you need deeper details about how the Zulip event queue system
works, avoids clients needing to worry about large classes of
potentially messy races, etc.

Dictionary containing details on features the client supports that are
relevant to the format of responses sent by the server.
- `notification_settings_null`: Boolean for whether the
client can handle the current API with null values for
stream-level notification settings (which means the stream
is not customized and should inherit the user's global
notification settings for stream messages).
<br />
New in Zulip 2.1.0; in earlier Zulip releases, stream-level
notification settings were simple booleans.
- `bulk_message_deletion`: Boolean for whether the client's
handler for the `delete_message` event type has been
updated to process the new bulk format (with a
`message_ids`, rather than a singleton `message_id`).
Otherwise, the server will send `delete_message` events
in a loop.
<br />
New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 13). This
capability is for backwards-compatibility; it will be
required in a future server release.
- `user_avatar_url_field_optional`: Boolean for whether the
client required avatar URLs for all users, or supports
using `GET /avatar/{user_id}` to access user avatars. If the
client has this capability, the server may skip sending a
`avatar_url` field in the `realm_user` at its sole discretion
to optimize network performance. This is an important optimization
in organizations with 10,000s of users.
<br />
New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 18).
- `stream_typing_notifications`: Boolean for whether the client
supports stream typing notifications.
<br />
New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 58). This capability is
for backwards-compatibility; it will be required in a
future server release.
- `user_settings_object`: Boolean for whether the client supports the modern
`user_settings` event type. If False, the server will additionally send the
legacy `update_display_settings` and `update_global_notifications` event
types for backwards-compatibility with clients that predate this API migration.
<br />
<br />
Because the feature level 89 API changes were merged together, clients can
safely make a request with this client capability and requesting all of the
`user_settings`, `update_display_settings`, and
`update_global_notifications` event types, and get exactly one copy of
settings data on any server version. (And then use the `zulip_feature_level`
in the `/register` response or the presence/absence of a `user_settings` key
to determine where to look).
<br />
New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 89). This capability is for
backwards-compatibility; it will be removed in a future server release.

Please note that not all of these attributes are guaranteed to appear in a
response, for two reasons:
* This endpoint has evolved over time, so responses from older Zulip servers
might be missing some keys (in which case a client should assume the
appropriate default).
* If a `/server_settings` request is made to the root domain of a
multi-subdomain server, like the root domain of zulip.com, the settings
that are realm-specific are not known and thus not provided.

**Note:** this endpoint does not require any authentication at all, and you can use it to check:
- If this is a Zulip server, and if so, what version of Zulip it's running.
- What a Zulip client (e.g. a mobile app or
[zulip-terminal](https://github.com/zulip/zulip-terminal/)) needs to
know in order to display a login prompt for the server (e.g. what
authentication methods are available).

This endpoint is used to edit the current user's settings.
`PATCH {{ api_url }}/v1/settings`
**Changes**: Prior to Zulip 5.0 (feature level 80), this
endpoint only supported the `full_name`, `email`,
`old_password`, and `new_password` parameters. Notification
settings were managed by `PATCH /settings/notifications`, and
all other settings by `PATCH /settings/display`.
The feature level 80 migration to merge these endpoints did not
change how request parameters are encoded. However, it did change
the handling of any invalid parameters present in a request
(see feature level 78 change below).
The `/settings/display` and `/settings/notifications`
endpoints are now deprecated aliases for this endpoint for
backwards-compatibility, and will be removed once clients have
migrated to use this endpoint.
**Changes**: Prior to Zulip 5.0 (feature level 78),
the `/settings` endpoint indicated which parameters it had
processed by including in the response object `"key": value`
entries for values successfully changed by the request. That
was replaced by the more ergonomic
`ignored_parameters_unsupported` response parameter.
The `/settings/notifications` and `/settings/display` endpoints
also had this behavior before they became aliases of `/settings`
in Zulip 5.0 (see feature level 80 change above).
Before these changes, request parameters that were not supported
(or were unchanged) were silently ignored.

Notify other users whether the current user is typing a message.
`POST {{ api_url }}/v1/typing`
Clients implementing Zulip's typing notifications protocol should work as follows:
- Send a request to this endpoint with `op="start"` when a user starts typing a message,
and also every `TYPING_STARTED_WAIT_PERIOD=10` seconds that the user continues to
actively type or otherwise interact with the compose UI (E.g. interacting with the
compose box emoji picker).
- Send a request to this endpoint with `op="stop"` when a user pauses using the
compose UI for at least `TYPING_STOPPED_WAIT_PERIOD=5` seconds or cancels
the compose action (if it had previously sent a "start" operation for that
compose action).
- Start displaying "Sender is typing" for a given conversation when the client
receives an `op="start"` event from the [events API](/api/get-events).
- Continue displaying "Sender is typing" until they receive an `op="stop"` event
from the [events API](/api/get-events) or `TYPING_STARTED_EXPIRY_PERIOD=15`
seconds have passed without a new `op="start"` event for that conversation.
- Clients that support displaying stream typing notifications (new in Zulip 4.0)
should indicate they support processing stream typing events via the
`stream_typing_notifications` in the `client_capabilities` parameter to `/register`.
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.
See
[the typing notification docs](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subsystems/typing-indicators.html)
for additional design details on Zulip's typing notifications protocol.

both current and legacy names for a parameter to a Zulip server of
unknown version, this often indicates either a bug in the client
implementation or an attempt to configure a new feature while
connected to an older Zulip server that does not support said feature.
**Changes**: Added to `POST /users/me/subscriptions/properties` in
Zulip 5.0 (feature level 111).
Added to `PATCH /realm/user_settings_defaults` in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 96).

nullable: true
description: |
Number of days that messages sent to this stream will be stored
before being automatically deleted by the [message retention
policy](/help/message-retention-policy). There are two special values:
- `null`, the default, means the stream will inherit the organization
level setting.
- `-1` encodes retaining messages in this stream forever.
**Changes**: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 17).
history_public_to_subscribers:
type: boolean
description: |
Whether the history of the stream is public to its subscribers.
Currently always true for public streams (i.e. invite_only=False implies

assumption, as we may change that behavior in the future.
first_message_id:
type: integer
nullable: true
description: |
The id of the first message in the stream.
Intended to help clients determine whether they need to display
UI like the "more topics" widget that would suggest the stream
has older history that can be accessed.
Null is used for streams with no message history.

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`).

**Changes**: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 17).
history_public_to_subscribers:
type: boolean
description: |
Whether the history of the stream is public to its subscribers.
Currently always true for public streams (i.e. invite_only=False implies

**Changes**: These errors used the HTTP 403 status code
before Zulip 5.0 (feature level 76).
A typical failed json response for when user's organization is deactivated:

parameters:
Event_types:
name: event_types
in: query
description: |
A JSON-encoded array indicating which types of events you're interested
in. Values that you might find useful include:
- **message** (messages)
- **subscription** (changes in your subscriptions)
- **realm_user** (changes to users in the organization and
their properties, such as their name).
If you do not specify this parameter, you will receive all
events, and have to filter out the events not relevant to
your client in your client code. For most applications, one
is only interested in messages, so one specifies:
`event_types=['message']`
Event types not supported by the server are ignored, in order to simplify
the implementation of client apps that support multiple server versions.
content:
application/json:
schema:
type: array
items:
type: string
example: ["message"]
required: false
Narrow:
name: narrow
in: query
description: |
A JSON-encoded array of arrays of length 2 indicating the
narrow for which you'd like to receive events for. For
instance, to receive events for the stream `Denmark`, you
would specify `narrow=[['stream', 'Denmark']]`. Another
example is `narrow=[['is', 'private']]` for private messages.
Default is `[]`.

AllPublicStreams:
name: all_public_streams
in: query
description: |
Whether you would like to request message events from all public
streams. Useful for workflow bots that you'd like to see all new messages
sent to public streams. (You can also subscribe the user to private streams).
schema:
type: boolean
default: false
example: true
UserGroupId:
name: user_group_id
in: path
description: |
The ID of the target user group.
schema:
type: integer
example: 22
required: true
QueueId:
name: queue_id
in: query
description: |
The ID of an event queue that was previously registered via
`POST /api/v1/register` (see [Register a queue](/api/register-queue)).
schema:
type: string
example: 1375801870:2942
required: true
StreamIdInPath:
name: stream_id
in: path
description: |
The ID of the stream to access.
schema:
type: integer
example: 1
required: true
ClientGravatar:
name: client_gravatar
in: query
description: |
Whether the client supports computing gravatars URLs. If
enabled, `avatar_url` will be included in the response only
if there is a Zulip avatar, and will be `null` for users who
are using gravatar as their avatar. This option
significantly reduces the compressed size of user data,
since gravatar URLs are long, random strings and thus do not
compress well. The `client_gravatar` field is set to `true` if
clients can compute their own gravatars.
**Changes**: The default value of this parameter was `false`
prior to Zulip 5.0 (feature level 92).
schema:
type: boolean
default: true
example: false

ReactionType:
name: reaction_type
in: query
description: |
If an app is adding/removing a vote on an existing reaction,
it should pass this parameter using the value the server provided
for the existing reaction for specificity. Supported values:
- `unicode_emoji`: Unicode emoji (`emoji_code` will be its Unicode codepoint).
- `realm_emoji`: Custom emoji. (`emoji_code` will be its ID).
- `zulip_extra_emoji`: Special emoji included with Zulip. Exists to
namespace the `zulip` emoji.
**Changes**: In Zulip 3.0 (feature level 2), this become
optional for [custom emoji](/help/custom-emoji);
previously, this endpoint assumed `unicode_emoji` if this
parameter was not specified.
schema:
type: string
example: "unicode_emoji"
required: false
EmojiCode:
name: emoji_code
in: query
description: |
A unique identifier, defining the specific emoji codepoint requested,
within the namespace of the `reaction_type`.
For most API clients, you won't need this, but it's important
for Zulip apps to handle rare corner cases when
adding/removing votes on an emoji reaction added previously by
another user.
If the existing reaction was added when the Zulip server was
using a previous version of the emoji data mapping between
Unicode codepoints and human-readable names, sending the
`emoji_code` in the data for the original reaction allows the
Zulip server to correctly interpret your upvote as an upvote
rather than a reaction with a "different" emoji.
schema:
type: string
example: "1f419"
required: false
MessageRetentionDays:
name: message_retention_days
in: query
description: |
Number of days that messages sent to this stream will be stored
before being automatically deleted by the [message retention
policy](/help/message-retention-policy). Two special string format
values are supported:
- "realm_default" => Return to the organization-level setting.
- "unlimited" => Retain messages forever.
**Changes**: Prior to Zulip 5.0 (feature level 91), retaining
messages forever was encoded using `"forever"` instead of
`"unlimited"`.
New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 17).
