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.

description: |
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.
parameters:
- name: anchor
in: query
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 2.2 (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).

description: |
The short description of a stream in text/markdown format,
intended to be used to prepopulate UI for editing a stream's
description.
rendered_description:
type: string
description: |
A short description of a stream rendered as HTML, intended to
be used when displaying the stream description in a UI.
One should use the standard Zulip rendered_markdown CSS when
displaying this content so that emoji, LaTeX, and other syntax
work correctly. And any client-side security logic for
user-generated message content should be applied when displaying
this HTML as though it were the body of a Zulip message.
invite_only:
type: boolean
description: |
Specifies whether the stream is private or not.
Only people who have been invited can access a private stream.
# TODO: This subscribers item should probably be declared optional more
# explicitly in the OpenAPI format?
subscribers:
type: array
items:
type: integer
description: |
A list of user IDs of users who are also subscribed
to a given stream. Included only if `include_subscribers` is `true`.
desktop_notifications:
type: boolean
nullable: true
description: |
A boolean specifying whether desktop notifications
are enabled for the given stream.
A null value means the value of this setting
should be inherited from the user-level default
setting, enable_stream_desktop_notifications, for
this stream.
email_notifications:
type: boolean
nullable: true
description: |
A boolean specifying whether email notifications
are enabled for the given stream.
A null value means the value of this setting
should be inherited from the user-level default
setting, enable_stream_email_notifications, for
this stream.
wildcard_mentions_notify:
type: boolean
nullable: true
description: |
A boolean specifying whether wildcard mentions
trigger notifications as though they were personal
mentions in this stream.
A null value means the value of this setting
should be inherited from the user-level default
setting, wildcard_mentions_notify, for
this stream.
push_notifications:
type: boolean
nullable: true
description: |
A boolean specifying whether push notifications
are enabled for the given stream.
A null value means the value of this setting
should be inherited from the user-level default
setting, enable_stream_push_notifications, for
this stream.
audible_notifications:
type: boolean
nullable: true
description: |
A boolean specifying whether audible notifications
are enabled for the given stream.
A null value means the value of this setting
should be inherited from the user-level default
setting, enable_stream_audible_notifications, for
this stream.
pin_to_top:
type: boolean
description: |
A boolean specifying whether the given stream has been pinned
to the top.
email_address:
type: string
description: |
Email address of the given stream, used for
[sending emails to the stream](/help/message-a-stream-by-email).
is_muted:
type: boolean
description: |
Whether the user has muted the stream. 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
description: |
Legacy property for if the given stream is muted, with inverted meeting.
**Deprecated**; clients should use is_muted where available.
is_old_stream:
type: boolean
description: |
Whether the stream is old enough to have data in
`stream_weekly_traffic`.
**Deprecated**: To me removed. Clients should simply check
whether stream_weekly_traffic is null.
is_announcement_only:
type: boolean
description: |
Whether only organization administrators can post to the stream.
**Changes**: Deprecated in Zulip 2.2 (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.
color:
type: string
description: |
The user's personal color for the stream.
stream_post_policy:
type: integer
description: |
Policy for which users can post messages to the stream.
* 1 => Any user can post.
* 2 => Only administrators can post.
* 3 => Only new members can post.
**Changes**: New in Zulip 2.2, replacing the previous
`is_announcement_only` boolean.
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
history_public_to_subscribers=True), but clients should not make that
assumption, as we may change that behavior in the future.
first_message_id:
type: integer
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.
stream_weekly_traffic:
type: integer
nullable: true
description: |
The average number of messages sent to the stream in recent weeks,
rounded to the nearest integer.
Null means the stream was recently created and there is
insufficient data to estimate the average traffic.

the Gravatar provider (i.e. the user has never uploaded an avatar).
avatar_version:
type: integer
description: |
Version for the the user's avatar. Used for cache-busting requests
for the user's avatar. Clients generally shouldn't need to use this;
most avatar URLs sent by Zulip will already end with `?v={avatar_version}`.

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 argument, 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']`
schema:
type: array
items:
type: string
required: false
Narrow:
name: narrow
in: query
description: |
A JSON-encoded array 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 `[]`.

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.

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 2.2 (feature level 2), this become
optional for [custom emoji](/help/add-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 ID, 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 "diffenent" emoji.
