Register an event queue

POST https://zulip.bigw.org/api/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 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 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 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.

Changes: Before Zulip 7.0 (feature level 183), the realm_community_topic_editing_limit_seconds property was returned by the response. It was removed because it had not been in use since the realm setting move_messages_within_stream_limit_seconds was introduced in feature level 162.

In Zulip 7.0 (feature level 163), the realm setting email_address_visibility was removed. It was replaced by a user setting with a realm user default, with the encoding of different values preserved. Clients can support all versions by supporting the current API and treating every user as having the realm's email_address_visibility value.

Usage examples

Python
JavaScript
curl

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import zulip

# Pass the path to your zuliprc file here.
client = zulip.Client(config_file="~/zuliprc")

# Register the queue.
result = client.register(
    event_types=["message", "realm_emoji"],
)
print(result)

More examples and documentation can be found here.

const zulipInit = require("zulip-js");

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

(async () => {
    const client = await zulipInit(config);

    // Register a queue
    const params = {
        event_types: ["message"],
    };

    console.log(await client.queues.register(params));
})();

curl -sSX POST https://zulip.bigw.org/api/v1/register \
    -u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
    --data-urlencode 'event_types=["message"]'

Parameters

apply_markdown boolean optional

Example: true

Set to true if you would like the content to be rendered in HTML format (otherwise the API will return the raw text that the user entered)

Defaults to false.

client_gravatar boolean optional

Example: false

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.

The default value is true for authenticated requests and false for unauthenticated requests. Passing true in an unauthenticated request is an error.

Changes: Before Zulip 6.0 (feature level 149), this parameter was silently ignored and processed as though it were false in unauthenticated requests.

include_subscribers boolean optional

Example: true

Whether each returned channel object should include a subscribers field containing a list of the user IDs of its subscribers.

(This may be significantly slower in organizations with thousands of users subscribed to many channels.)

Passing true in an unauthenticated request is an error.

Changes: Before Zulip 6.0 (feature level 149), this parameter was silently ignored and processed as though it were false in unauthenticated requests.

New in Zulip 2.1.0.

Defaults to false.

slim_presence boolean optional

Example: true

If true, the presences object returned in the response will be keyed by user ID and the entry for each user's presence data will be in the modern format.

Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (no feature level; API unstable).

Defaults to false.

event_types (string)[] optional

Example: ["message"]

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.

all_public_streams boolean optional

Example: true

Whether you would like to request message events from all public channels. Useful for workflow bots that you'd like to see all new messages sent to public channels. (You can also subscribe the user to private channels).

Defaults to false.

client_capabilities object optional

Example: {"notification_settings_null": true}

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 channel-level notification settings (which means the channel is not customized and should inherit the user's global notification settings for channel messages).
Changes: New in Zulip 2.1.0. In earlier Zulip releases, channel-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.
Changes: 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.
Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 18).
stream_typing_notifications: Boolean for whether the client supports channel typing notifications.
Changes: 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_global_notifications and update_display_settings event types.
Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 89). This capability is for backwards-compatibility; it will be removed in a future server release. Because the feature level 89 API changes were merged together, clients can safely make a request with this client capability and also request all three event types (user_settings, update_display_settings, update_global_notifications), and get exactly one copy of settings data on any server version. Clients can then use the zulip_feature_level in the /register response or the presence/absence of a user_settings key to determine where to look for the data.
linkifier_url_template: Boolean for whether the client accepts linkifiers that use RFC 6570 compliant URL templates for linkifying matches. If false or unset, then the realm_linkifiers array in the /register response will be empty if present, and no realm_linkifiers events will be sent to the client.
Changes: New in Zulip 7.0 (feature level 176). This capability is for backwards-compatibility.
user_list_incomplete: Boolean for whether the client supports not having an incomplete user database. If true, then the realm_users array in the register response will not include data for inaccessible users and clients of guest users will not receive realm_user op:add events for newly created users that are not accessible to the current user.
Changes: New in Zulip 8.0 (feature level 232). This capability is for backwards-compatibility.

fetch_event_types (string)[] optional

Example: ["message"]

Same as the event_types parameter except that the values in fetch_event_types are used to fetch initial data. If fetch_event_types is not provided, event_types is used and if event_types is not provided, this parameter defaults to null.

Event types not supported by the server are ignored, in order to simplify the implementation of client apps that support multiple server versions.

narrow ((string)[])[] optional

Example: [["channel", "Denmark"]]

A JSON-encoded array of arrays of length 2 indicating the narrow filter(s) for which you'd like to receive events for.

For example, to receive events for direct messages (including group direct messages) received by the user, one can use "narrow": [["is", "dm"]].

Unlike the API for fetching messages, this narrow parameter is simply a filter on messages that the user receives through their channel subscriptions (or because they are a recipient of a direct message).

This means that a client that requests a narrow filter of [["channel", "Denmark"]] will receive events for new messages sent to that channel while the user is subscribed to that channel. The client will not receive any message events at all if the user is not subscribed to "Denmark".

Newly created bot users are not usually subscribed to any channels, so bots using this API need to be subscribed to any channels whose messages you'd like them to process using this endpoint.

See the all_public_streams parameter for how to process all public channel messages in an organization.

Changes: See changes section of search/narrow filter documentation.

Defaults to [].

Response

Return values

queue_id: string | null

The ID of the queue that has been allocated for your client.

Will be null only for unauthenticated access in realms that have enabled the public access option.
last_event_id: integer

The initial value of last_event_id to pass to GET /api/v1/events.
zulip_feature_level: integer

The server's current Zulip feature level.

Changes: As of Zulip 3.0 (feature level 3), this is always present in the endpoint's response. Previously, it was only present if event_types included zulip_version.

New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 1).
zulip_version: string

The server's version number. This is often a release version number, like 2.1.7. But for a server running a version from Git, it will be a Git reference to the commit, like 5.0-dev-1650-gc3fd37755f.

Changes: As of Zulip 3.0 (feature level 3), this is always present in the endpoint's response. Previously, it was only present if event_types included zulip_version.
zulip_merge_base: string

The git merge-base between zulip_version and official branches in the public Zulip server and web app repository, in the same format as zulip_version. This will equal zulip_version if the server is not running a fork of the Zulip server.

This will be "" if the server does not know its merge-base.

Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 88).
alert_words: (string)[]

Present if alert_words is present in fetch_event_types.

An array of strings, each an alert word that the current user has configured.
custom_profile_fields: (object)[]

Present if custom_profile_fields is present in fetch_event_types.

An array of dictionaries where each dictionary contains the details of a single custom profile field that is available to users in this Zulip organization. This must be combined with the custom profile field values on individual user objects to display users' profiles.
- id: integer
  
  The ID of the custom profile field. This will be referenced in the custom profile fields section of user objects.
- type: integer
  
  An integer indicating the type of the custom profile field, which determines how it is configured and displayed to users.
  
  See the Custom profile fields article for details on what each type means.
  - 1: Short text
  - 2: Long text
  - 3: List of options
  - 4: Date picker
  - 5: Link
  - 6: Person picker
  - 7: External account
  - 8: Pronouns
  Changes: Field type 8 added in Zulip 6.0 (feature level 151).
- order: integer
  
  Custom profile fields are displayed in both settings UI and UI showing users' profiles in increasing order.
- name: string
  
  The name of the custom profile field.
- hint: string
  
  The help text to be displayed for the custom profile field in user-facing settings UI for configuring custom profile fields.
- field_data: string
  
  Field types 3 (List of options) and 7 (External account) support storing additional configuration for the field type in the field_data attribute.
  
  For field type 3 (List of options), this attribute is a JSON dictionary defining the choices and the order they will be displayed in the dropdown UI for individual users to select an option.
  
  The interface for field type 7 is not yet stabilized.
- display_in_profile_summary: boolean
  
  Whether the custom profile field, display or not on the user card.
  
  Currently it's value not allowed to be true of Long text and Person picker profile field types.
  
  This field is only included when its value is true.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 6.0 (feature level 146).
- required: boolean
  
  Whether an organization administrator has configured this profile field as required.
  
  Because the required property is mutable, clients cannot assume that a required custom profile field has a value. The Zulip web application displays a prominent banner to any user who has not set a value for a required field.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 9.0 (feature level 244).
custom_profile_field_types: object

Present if custom_profile_fields is present in fetch_event_types.

An array of objects; each object describes a type of custom profile field that could be configured on this Zulip server. Each custom profile type has an ID and the type property of a custom profile field is equal to one of these IDs.

This attribute is only useful for clients containing UI for changing the set of configured custom profile fields in a Zulip organization.
- {FIELD_TYPE}: object
  
  Dictionary which contains the details of the field type with the field type as the name of the property itself. The current supported field types are as follows:
  - SHORT_TEXT
  - LONG_TEXT
  - DATE for date-based fields.
  - SELECT for a list of options.
  - URL for links.
  - EXTERNAL_ACCOUNT for external accounts.
  - USER for selecting a user for the field.
  - PRONOUNS for a short text field with convenient typeahead for one's preferred pronouns.
  Changes: PRONOUNS type added in Zulip 6.0 (feature level 151).
  - id: integer
    
    The ID of the custom profile field type.
  - name: string
    
    The name of the custom profile field type.
realm_date_created: integer

Changes: New in Zulip 8.0 (feature level 203).
demo_organization_scheduled_deletion_date: integer

Present if the realm is a demo organization.

The UNIX timestamp (UTC) when the demo organization will be automatically deleted. Clients should use this to display a prominent warning to the user that the organization will be deleted at the indicated time.

Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 94).
drafts: (object)[]

An array containing draft objects for the user. These drafts are being stored on the backend for the purpose of syncing across devices. This array will be empty if enable_drafts_synchronization is set to false.
- id: integer
  
  The unique ID of the draft. It will only used whenever the drafts are fetched. This field should not be specified when the draft is being created or edited.
- type: string
  
  The type of the draft. Either unaddressed (empty string), "stream", or "private" (for one-on-one and group direct messages).
- to: (integer)[]
  
  An array of the tentative target audience IDs. For channel messages, this should contain exactly 1 ID, the ID of the target channel. For direct messages, this should be an array of target user IDs. For unaddressed drafts, this is ignored, and clients should send an empty array.
- topic: string
  
  For channel message drafts, the tentative topic name. For direct or unaddressed messages, this will be ignored and should ideally be the empty string. Should not contain null bytes.
- content: string
  
  The body of the draft. Should not contain null bytes.
- timestamp: integer
  
  A Unix timestamp (seconds only) representing when the draft was last edited. When creating a draft, this key need not be present and it will be filled in automatically by the server.
onboarding_steps: (object)[]

Present if onboarding_steps is present in fetch_event_types.

An array of dictionaries, where each dictionary contains details about a single onboarding step that should be shown to the user.

We expect that only official Zulip clients will interact with this data.

Changes: Before Zulip 8.0 (feature level 233), this array was named hotspots. Prior to this feature level, one-time notice onboarding steps were not supported, and the type field in these objects did not exist as all onboarding steps were implicitly hotspots.
- type: string
  
  The type of the onboarding step. Valid value is "one_time_notice".
  
  Changes: Removed type "hotspot" in Zulip 9.0 (feature level 259).
  
  New in Zulip 8.0 (feature level 233).
- name: string
  
  The name of the onboarding step.
max_message_id: integer

Present if message is present in fetch_event_types.

The highest message ID among all messages the user has received as of the moment of this request.

Deprecated: This field may be removed in future versions as it no longer has a clear purpose. Clients wishing to fetch the latest messages should pass "anchor": "latest" to GET /messages.
max_stream_name_length: integer

Present if realm is present in fetch_event_types.

The maximum allowed length for a channel name, in Unicode code points. Clients should use this property rather than hardcoding field sizes.

Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 53). Previously, this required stream in fetch_event_types, was called stream_name_max_length, and always had a value of 60.
max_stream_description_length: integer

Present if realm is present in fetch_event_types.

The maximum allowed length for a channel description, in Unicode code points. Clients should use this property rather than hardcoding field sizes.

Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 53). Previously, this required stream in fetch_event_types, was called stream_description_max_length, and always had a value of 1024.
max_topic_length: integer

Present if realm is present in fetch_event_types.

The maximum allowed length for a topic, in Unicode code points. Clients should use this property rather than hardcoding field sizes.

Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 53). Previously, this property always had a value of 60.
max_message_length: integer

Present if realm is present in fetch_event_types.

The maximum allowed length for a message, in Unicode code points. Clients should use this property rather than hardcoding field sizes.

Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 53). Previously, this property always had a value of 10000.
server_presence_ping_interval_seconds: integer

For clients implementing the presence system, the time interval the client should use for sending presence requests to the server (and thus receive presence updates from the server).

It is important for presence implementations to use both this and server_presence_offline_threshold_seconds correctly, so that a Zulip server can change these values to manage the trade-off between load and freshness of presence data.

Changes: New in Zulip 7.0 (feature level 164). Clients should use 60 for older Zulip servers, since that's the value that was hardcoded in the Zulip mobile apps prior to this parameter being introduced.
server_presence_offline_threshold_seconds: integer

How old a presence timestamp for a given user can be before the user should be displayed as offline by clients displaying Zulip presence data. See the related server_presence_ping_interval_seconds for details.

Changes: New in Zulip 7.0 (feature level 164). Clients should use 140 for older Zulip servers, since that's the value that was hardcoded in the Zulip client apps prior to this parameter being introduced.
server_typing_started_expiry_period_milliseconds: integer

For clients implementing typing notifications protocol, the time interval in milliseconds that the client should wait for additional typing start events from the server before removing an active typing indicator.

Changes: New in Zulip 8.0 (feature level 204). Clients should use 15000 for older Zulip servers, since that's the value that was hardcoded in the Zulip apps prior to this parameter being introduced.
server_typing_stopped_wait_period_milliseconds: integer

For clients implementing typing notifications protocol, the time interval in milliseconds that the client should wait when a user stops interacting with the compose UI before sending a stop notification to the server.

Changes: New in Zulip 8.0 (feature level 204). Clients should use 5000 for older Zulip servers, since that's the value that was hardcoded in the Zulip apps prior to this parameter being introduced.
server_typing_started_wait_period_milliseconds: integer

For clients implementing typing notifications protocol, the time interval in milliseconds that the client should use to send regular start notifications to the server to indicate that the user is still actively interacting with the compose UI.

Changes: New in Zulip 8.0 (feature level 204). Clients should use 10000 for older Zulip servers, since that's the value that was hardcoded in the Zulip apps prior to this parameter being introduced.
scheduled_messages: (object)[]

Present if scheduled_messages is present in fetch_event_types.

An array of all undelivered scheduled messages by the user.

Changes: New in Zulip 7.0 (feature level 179).
- scheduled_message_id: integer
  
  The unique ID of the scheduled message, which can be used to modify or delete the scheduled message.
  
  This is different from the unique ID that the message will have after it is sent.
- type: string
  
  The type of the scheduled message. Either "stream" or "private".
- to: integer | (integer)[]
  
  The scheduled message's tentative target audience.
  
  For channel messages, it will be the unique ID of the target channel. For direct messages, it will be an array with the target users' IDs.
- topic: string
  
  Only present if type is "stream".
  
  The topic for the channel message.
- content: string
  
  The content/body of the scheduled message, in text/markdown format.
- rendered_content: string
  
  The content/body of the scheduled message rendered in HTML.
- scheduled_delivery_timestamp: integer
  
  The UNIX timestamp for when the message will be sent by the server, in UTC seconds.
- failed: boolean
  
  Whether the server has tried to send the scheduled message and it failed to successfully send.
  
  Clients that support unscheduling and editing scheduled messages should display scheduled messages with "failed": true with an indicator that the server failed to send the message at the scheduled time, so that the user is aware of the failure and can get the content of the scheduled message.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 7.0 (feature level 181).
muted_topics: ((string | integer)[])[]

Present if muted_topics is present in fetch_event_types.

Array of tuples, where each tuple describes a muted topic. The first element of the tuple is the channel name in which the topic has to be muted, the second element is the topic name to be muted and the third element is an integer UNIX timestamp representing when the topic was muted.

Changes: Deprecated in Zulip 6.0 (feature level 134). Starting with this version, muted_topics will only be present in the response if the user_topic object, which generalizes and replaces this field, is not explicitly requested via fetch_event_types.

Before Zulip 3.0 (feature level 1), the muted_topics array objects were 2-item tuples and did not include the timestamp information for when the topic was muted.
muted_users: (object)[]

Present if muted_users is present in fetch_event_types.

A list of dictionaries where each dictionary describes a muted user.

Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 48).
- id: integer
  
  The ID of the muted user.
- timestamp: integer
  
  An integer UNIX timestamp representing when the user was muted.
presences: object

Present if presence is present in fetch_event_types.

A dictionary where each entry describes the presence details of a user in the Zulip organization.

The format of the entry (modern or legacy) depends on the value of slim_presence.

Users who have been offline for multiple weeks may not appear in this object.
- Will be one of these two formats (modern or legacy) for user presence data:
  - {user_id}: object
    
    Presence data (modern format) for the user with the specified ID.
    - active_timestamp: integer
      
      The UNIX timestamp of the last time a client connected to Zulip reported that the user was actually present (e.g. via focusing a browser window or interacting with a computer running the desktop app).
      
      Clients should display users with a current active_timestamp as fully present.
    - idle_timestamp: integer
      
      The UNIX timestamp of the last time the user had a client connected to Zulip, including idle clients where the user hasn't interacted with the system recently.
      
      The Zulip server has no way of distinguishing whether an idle web app user is at their computer, but hasn't interacted with the Zulip tab recently, or simply left their desktop computer on when they left.
      
      Thus, clients should display users with a current idle_timestamp but no current active_timestamp as potentially present.
  - {user_email}: object
    
    Presence data (legacy format) for the user with the specified Zulip API email.
    - {client_name} or "aggregated": object
      
      Object containing the details of the user's presence.
      
      Changes: Starting with Zulip 7.0 (feature level 178), this will always contain two keys, "website" and "aggregated", with identical data. The server no longer stores which client submitted presence updates.
      
      Previously, the {client_name} keys for these objects were the names of the different clients where the user was logged in, for example website or ZulipDesktop.
      - client: string
        
        The client's platform name.
        
        Changes: Starting with Zulip 7.0 (feature level 178), this will always be "website" as the server no longer stores which client submitted presence data.
      - status: string
        
        The status of the user on this client. Will be either "idle" or "active".
      - timestamp: integer
        
        The UNIX timestamp of when this client sent the user's presence to the server with the precision of a second.
      - pushable: boolean
        
        Whether the client is capable of showing mobile/push notifications to the user.
        
        Not present in objects with the "aggregated" key.
        
        Changes: Starting with Zulip 7.0 (feature level 178), always false when present as the server no longer stores which client submitted presence data.
presence_last_update_id: integer

Present if presence is present in fetch_event_types.

Provides the last_update_id value of the latest presence data fetched by the server and included in the response in presences. This can be used as the value of the presence_last_update_id parameter when polling for presence data at the /users/me/presence endpoint to tell the server to only fetch the relevant newer data in order to skip redundant already-known presence information.

Changes: New in Zulip 9.0 (feature level 263).
server_timestamp: number

Present if presence is present in fetch_event_types.

The time when the server fetched the presences data included in the response. Matches the similar field in presence responses.

Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 70).
realm_domains: (object)[]

Present if realm_domains is present in fetch_event_types.

An array of dictionaries where each dictionary describes a domain within which users can join the organization without and invitation.
- domain: string
  
  The new allowed domain.
- allow_subdomains: boolean
  
  Whether subdomains are allowed for this domain.
realm_emoji: object

Present if realm_emoji is present in fetch_event_types.

A dictionary of objects where each object describes a custom emoji that has been uploaded in this Zulip organization.
- {emoji_id}: object
  
  Object containing details about the emoji with the specified ID. It has the following properties:
  - id: string
    
    The ID for this emoji, same as the object's key.
  - name: string
    
    The user-friendly name for this emoji. Users in the organization can use this emoji by writing this name between colons (:name :).
  - source_url: string
    
    The path relative to the organization's URL where the emoji's image can be found.
  - still_url: string | null
    
    Only non-null when the emoji's image is animated.
    
    The path relative to the organization's URL where a still (not animated) version of the emoji can be found. (This is currently always the first frame of the animation).
    
    This is useful for clients to display the emoji in contexts where continuously animating it would be a bad user experience (E.g. because it would be distracting).
    
    Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (added as optional field in feature level 97 and then made mandatory, but nullable, in feature level 113).
  - deactivated: boolean
    
    Whether the emoji has been deactivated or not.
  - author_id: integer | null
    
    The user ID of the user who uploaded the custom emoji. Will be null if the uploader is unknown.
    
    Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 7). Previously was accessible via an author object with an id field.
realm_linkifiers: (object)[]

Present if realm_linkifiers is present in fetch_event_types.

An ordered array of objects where each object describes a single linkifier.

The order of the array reflects the order that each linkifier should be processed when linkifying messages and topics. By default, new linkifiers are ordered last. This order can be modified with PATCH /realm/linkifiers.

Clients will receive an empty array unless the event queue is registered with the client capability {"linkifier_url_template": true}. See client_capabilities parameter for how this can be specified.

Changes: Before Zulip 7.0 (feature level 176), the linkifier_url_template client capability was not required. The requirement was added because linkifiers were updated to contain a URL template instead of a URL format string, which was a not backwards-compatible change.

New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 54). Clients can access this data for servers on earlier feature levels via the legacy realm_filters property.
- pattern: string
  
  The Python regular expression pattern which represents the pattern that should be linkified on matching.
- url_template: string
  
  The RFC 6570 compliant URL template with which the pattern matching string should be linkified.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 7.0 (feature level 176). This replaced url_format, which contained a URL format string.
- id: integer
  
  The ID of the linkifier.
realm_filters: ((integer | string)[])[]

Legacy property for linkifiers. Present if realm_filters is present in fetch_event_types.

When present, this is always an empty array.

Changes: Prior to Zulip 7.0 (feature level 176), this was an array of tuples, where each tuple described a linkifier. The first element of the tuple was a string regex pattern which represented the pattern to be linkified on matching, for example "#(?P<id>[123])". The second element was a URL format string that the pattern should be linkified with. A URL format string for the above example would be "https://realm.com/my_realm_filter/%(id)s". And the third element was the ID of the realm filter.

Deprecated in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 54), replaced by the realm_linkifiers key.
realm_playgrounds: (object)[]

Present if realm_playgrounds is present in fetch_event_types.

  Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 49).
- pygments_language: string
  
  The name of the Pygments language lexer for that programming language.
- url_template: string
  
  The RFC 6570 compliant URL template for the playground. The template contains exactly one variable named code, which determines how the extracted code should be substituted in the playground URL.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 8.0 (feature level 196). This replaced the url_prefix parameter, which was used to construct URLs by just concatenating url_prefix and code.

- id: integer
  
  The ID of the user group.
- is_system_group: boolean
  
  Whether the user group is a system group which cannot be directly modified by users.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 93).

  A group-setting value defining the set of users who have permission to mention this user group.
  
  Changes: Before Zulip 9.0 (feature level 258), this setting was always the integer form of a group-setting value.
  
  Before Zulip 8.0 (feature level 198), this setting was named can_mention_group_id.
  
  New in Zulip 8.0 (feature level 191). Previously, groups could be mentioned only if they were not system groups.
  
  Will be one of the following:
  - The ID of the user group with this permission.
  - An object with these fields:
    - direct_members: (integer)[]

- first_message_id: integer | null
  
  The ID of the first message in the channel.
  
  Intended to help clients determine whether they need to display UI like the "show all topics" widget that would suggest the channel has older history that can be accessed.
  
  Is null for channels with no message history.
- stream_weekly_traffic: integer | null
  
  The average number of messages sent to the channel per week, as estimated based on recent weeks, rounded to the nearest integer.

- old_unreads_missing: boolean
  
  Whether this data set was truncated because the user has too many unread messages. When truncation occurs, only the most recent MAX_UNREAD_MESSAGES (currently 50000) messages will be considered when forming this response.

realm_users: (object)[]

Present if realm_user is present in fetch_event_types.

A array of dictionaries where each entry describes a user whose account has not been deactivated. Note that unlike the usual User dictionary, this does not contain the is_active key, as all the users present in this array have active accounts.

If the current user is a guest whose access to users is limited by a can_access_all_users_group policy, and the event queue was registered with the user_list_incomplete client capability, then users that the current user cannot access will not be included in this array. If the current user's access to a user is restricted but the client lacks this capability, then that inaccessible user will appear in the users array as an "Unknown user" object with the usual format but placeholder data whose only variable content is the user ID.

See also cross_realm_bots and realm_non_active_users.

Changes: Before Zulip 8.0 (feature level 232), the user_list_incomplete client capability did not exist, and so all clients whose access to a new user was prevented by can_access_all_users_group policy would receive a fake "Unknown user" event for such users.
- user_id: integer
  
  The unique ID of the user.
- delivery_email: string | null
  
  The user's real email address. This value will be null if you cannot access user's real email address. For bot users, this field is always set to the real email of the bot, because bot users always have email_address_visibility set to everyone.
  
  Changes: Prior to Zulip 7.0 (feature level 163), this field was present only when email_address_visibility was restricted and you had access to the user's real email. As of this feature level, this field is always present, including the case when email_address_visibility is set to everyone (and therefore not restricted).
- email: string
  
  The Zulip API email address of the user or bot.
  
  If you do not have permission to view the email address of the target user, this will be a fake email address that is usable for the Zulip API but nothing else.
- full_name: string
  
  Full name of the user or bot, used for all display purposes.
- date_joined: string
  
  The time the user account was created.

- avatar_version: integer
  
  Version for 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}.
- profile_data: object
  
  Only present if is_bot is false; bots can't have custom profile fields.
  
  A dictionary containing custom profile field data for the user.

      The value rendered in HTML. Will only be present for custom profile field types that support Markdown rendering.

realm_non_active_users: (object)[]
