Register an event queue

POST https://chirpeee.com/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.

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://chirpeee.com/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.

Changes: The default value of this parameter was false prior to Zulip 5.0 (feature level 92).

Defaults to true.

slim_presence boolean optional

Example: true

Setting this to true will make presence dictionaries be keyed by user_id instead of email.

Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (Unstable with no feature level yet).

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 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).

Defaults to false.

include_subscribers boolean optional

Example: true

Whether each returned stream 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 streams.)

Changes: New in Zulip 2.1.0.

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 stream-level notification settings (which means the stream is not customized and should inherit the user's global notification settings for stream messages).
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.
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.
New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 18).
stream_typing_notifications: Boolean for whether the client supports stream typing notifications.
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.

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).
New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 89). This capability is for backwards-compatibility; it will be removed in a future server release.

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 None.

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: [["stream", "Denmark"]]

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 [].

Response

An array of dictionaries containing data on all private message and group private message conversations that the user has received (or sent) messages in, organized by conversation. This data set is designed to support UI elements such as the "Private messages" widget in the web application showing recent private message conversations that the user has participated in.

"Recent" is defined as the server's discretion; the original implementation interpreted that as "the 1000 most recent private messages the user received".
- max_message_id: integer

  A boolean specifying whether the given stream has been pinned to the top.
- email_address: string
  
  Email address of the given stream, used for sending emails to the stream.
- is_muted: boolean
  
  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).

  Legacy property for if the given stream is muted, with inverted meeting.
  
  Deprecated; clients should use is_muted where available.
- is_announcement_only: boolean
  
  Whether only organization administrators can post to the stream.

  - -1 encodes retaining messages in this stream forever.
  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 17).
- history_public_to_subscribers: boolean
  
  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: integer | null
  
  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.
- stream_weekly_traffic: integer | null
  
  The average number of messages sent to the stream in recent weeks, rounded to the nearest integer.

Note that this will be false if the Zulip server does not have the WEB_PUBLIC_STREAMS_ENABLED setting enabled or if the organization has not enabled the enable_spectator_access realm setting.

Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 103).

Present if realm_user is present in fetch_event_types.

Whether the current user is allowed to subscribe other users to streams with the organization's streams policy.
can_invite_others_to_realm: boolean

Present if realm_user is present in fetch_event_types.

Whether the current user is allowed to invite others to the organization.

Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 51).

Whether the user setting for sending on pressing Enter in the compose box is enabled.

Changes: Deprecated in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 89). Clients connecting to newer servers should declare the user_settings_object client capability and process the user_settings event type instead. Prior to Zulip 5.0 (feature level 84) this field was present in response if 'realm_user' was present in fetch_event_types, not update_display_settings.
user_id: integer

Present if realm_user is present in fetch_event_types.

The unique ID for the current user.
email: string

Present if realm_user is present in fetch_event_types.

The Zulip display email address for the current user. See also delivery_email; these may be the same or different depending on the organization's email_address_visibility policy.
delivery_email: string

Present if realm_user is present in fetch_event_types.

The user's email address, appropriate for UI for changing the user's email address. See also email.
full_name: string

The full name of the current user.
cross_realm_bots: (object)[]

Present if realm_user is present in fetch_event_types.

Array of dictionaries where each dictionary contains details of a single cross realm bot. Cross-realm bots are special system bot accounts like Notification Bot.

Most clients will want to combine this with realm_users in many contexts.
- 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.
- is_bot: boolean
  
  A boolean specifying whether the user is a bot or full account.
- avatar_url: string | null
  
  URL for the user's avatar. Will be null if the client_gravatar query parameter was set to True and the user's avatar is hosted by the Gravatar provider (i.e. the user has never uploaded an avatar).
  
  Changes: In Zulip 3.0 (feature level 18), if the client has the user_avatar_url_field_optional capability, this will be missing at the server's sole discretion.
- 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}.
- full_name: string
  
  Full name of the user or bot, used for all display purposes.
- is_admin: boolean
  
  A boolean specifying whether the user is an organization administrator.
- is_owner: boolean
  
  A boolean specifying whether the user is an organization owner. If true, is_admin will also be true.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 8).
- is_billing_admin: boolean
  
  A boolean specifying whether the user is a billing administrator.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 73).
- role: integer
  
  Organization-level role of the user. Possible values are:
  - Organization owner => 100
  - Organization administrator => 200
  - Organization moderator => 300
  - Member => 400
  - Guest => 600
  Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 59).
- bot_type: integer | null
  
  An integer describing the type of bot:
  - null if the user isn't a bot.
  - 1 for a Generic bot.
  - 2 for an Incoming webhook bot.
  - 3 for an Outgoing webhook bot.
  - 4 for an Embedded bot.
- user_id: integer
  
  The unique ID of the user.
- bot_owner_id: integer | null
  
  If the user is a bot (i.e. is_bot is True), bot_owner is the user ID of the bot's owner (usually, whoever created the bot).
  
  Will be null for legacy bots that do not have an owner.
  
  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 1). In previous versions, there was a bot_owner field containing the email address of the bot's owner.
- is_active: boolean
  
  A boolean specifying whether the user account has been deactivated.
- is_guest: boolean
  
  A boolean specifying whether the user is a guest user.
- timezone: string
  
  The time zone of the user.
- date_joined: string
  
  The time the user account was created.
- delivery_email: string
  
  The user's real email address. This field is present only if email address visibility is limited and you are an administrator with access to real email addresses under the configured policy.
- profile_data: object
  
  A dictionary containing custom profile field data for the user. Each entry maps the integer ID of a custom profile field in the organization to a dictionary containing the user's data for that field. Generally the data includes just a single value key; for those custom profile fields supporting Markdown, a rendered_value key will also be present.
  - {id}: object
    
    Object with data about what value user filled in the custom profile field with id id.
    - value: string
      
      User's personal value for this custom profile field.
    - rendered_value: string
      
      The value rendered in HTML. Will only be present for custom profile field types that support Markdown rendering.
      
      This user-generated HTML content should be rendered using the same CSS and client-side security protections as are used for message content.
- is_system_bot: boolean
  
  Whether the user is a system bot. System bots are special bot user accounts that are managed by the system, rather than the organization's administrators.
  
  Changes: This field was called is_cross_realm_bot before Zulip 5.0 (feature level 83).
