Response

Return values

• avatar_url: string

  URL for the requesting user's avatar.

  Changes: New in Zulip 2.1.0.

• avatar_version: integer

  Version for the requesting 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}.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10).

• email: string

  Zulip API email of the requesting user.

• full_name: string

  Full name of the requesting user.

• is_admin: boolean

  A boolean indicating if the requesting user is an admin.

• is_owner: boolean

  A boolean indicating if the requesting user is an organization owner.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 8).

• is_billing_admin: boolean

  A boolean indicating if the requesting user is a billing administrator.

  Changes: New in Zulip 5.0 (feature level 73).

• role: integer

  Organization-level role of the requesting user. Possible values are:

  • 100 = Organization owner
  • 200 = Organization administrator
  • 300 = Organization moderator
  • 400 = Member
  • 600 = Guest

  Changes: New in Zulip 4.0 (feature level 59).

• is_guest: boolean

  A boolean indicating if the requesting user is a guest.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10).

• is_bot: boolean

  A boolean indicating if the requesting user is a bot.

• is_active: boolean

  A boolean specifying whether the requesting user account has been deactivated.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10).

• timezone: string

  The time zone of the requesting user.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10).

• date_joined: string

  The time the requesting user's account was created.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10).

• max_message_id: integer

  The integer ID of the last message received by the requesting user's account.

  Deprecated. We plan to remove this in favor of recommending using GET /messages with "anchor": "newest".

• user_id: integer

  The user's ID.

• delivery_email: string

  The requesting user's real email address.

  Changes: Prior to Zulip 7.0 (feature level 163), this field was present only when email_address_visibility was restricted and the requesting user had permission to access realm users' emails. As of this feature level, this field is always present.

• 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. 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 the user filled in the custom profile field with that 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.
