Add subscriptions

Subscribe one or more users to one or more streams.

POST {{ api_url }}/v1/users/me/subscriptions

If any of the specified streams do not exist, they are automatically created, and configured using the invite_only setting specified in the arguments (see below).

Usage examples

{start_tabs} {tab|python}

{generate_code_example(python)|add-subscriptions|example}

{tab|js}

More examples and documentation can be found here.

const zulip = require('zulip-js');

// Pass the path to your zuliprc file here.
const config = {
    zuliprc: 'zuliprc',
};

zulip(config).then((client) => {
    // Subscribe to the streams "Verona" and "Denmark"
    const meParams = {
        subscriptions: JSON.stringify([
            {'name': 'Verona'},
            {'name': 'Denmark'}
        ]),
    };
    client.users.me.subscriptions.add(meParams).then(console.log);

    // To subscribe another user to a stream, you may pass in
    // the `principals` argument, like so:
    const anotherUserParams = {
        subscriptions: JSON.stringify([
            {'name': 'Verona'},
            {'name': 'Denmark'}
        ]),
        principals: JSON.stringify(['ZOE@zulip.org']),
    };
    client.users.me.subscriptions.add(anotherUserParams).then(console.log);
});

{tab|curl}

curl {{ api_url }}/v1/users/me/subscriptions \
    -u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
    -d 'subscriptions=[{"name": "Verona"}]'

To subscribe another user to a stream, you may pass in the principals argument, like so:

curl {{ api_url }}/v1/users/me/subscriptions \
    -u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
    -d 'subscriptions=[{"name": "Verona"}]' \
    -d 'principals=["ZOE@zulip.com"]'

{end_tabs}

Arguments

{generate_api_arguments_table|zulip.yaml|/users/me/subscriptions:post}

Response

Return values

  • subscribed: A dictionary where the key is the email address of the user/bot and the value is a list of the names of the streams that were subscribed to as a result of the query.

  • already_subscribed: A dictionary where the key is the email address of the user/bot and the value is a list of the names of the streams that the user/bot is already subscribed to.

  • unauthorized: A list of names of streams that the requesting user/bot was not authorized to subscribe to.

Example response

A typical successful JSON response may look like:

{generate_code_example|/users/me/subscriptions:post|fixture(200_without_principals)}

A typical successful JSON response when the user is already subscribed to the streams specified:

{generate_code_example|/users/me/subscriptions:post|fixture(200_already_subscribed)}

A typical response for when the requesting user does not have access to a private stream and authorization_errors_fatal is True:

{generate_code_example|/users/me/subscriptions:post|fixture(400_unauthorized_errors_fatal_true)}

A typical response for when the requesting user does not have access to a private stream and authorization_errors_fatal is False:

{generate_code_example|/users/me/subscriptions:post|fixture(400_unauthorized_errors_fatal_false)}
