Topic muting

PATCH https://chat.zulip.org/api/v1/users/me/subscriptions/muted_topics

Mute or unmute a topic within a channel that the current user is subscribed to.

Changes: Deprecated in Zulip 7.0 (feature level 170). Clients connecting to newer servers should use the POST /user_topics endpoint, as this endpoint may be removed in a future release.

Before Zulip 7.0 (feature level 169), this endpoint returned an error if asked to mute a topic that was already muted or asked to unmute a topic that had not previously been muted.

Usage examples

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import zulip

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

# Mute the topic "boat party" in the channel named "Denmark".
request = {
    "stream": "Denmark",
    "topic": "boat party",
    "op": "add",
}
result = client.mute_topic(request)
# Unmute the topic "boat party" in the channel named "Denmark".
request = {
    "stream": "Denmark",
    "topic": "boat party",
    "op": "remove",
}
result = client.mute_topic(request)
print(result)

curl -sSX PATCH https://chat.zulip.org/api/v1/users/me/subscriptions/muted_topics \

Parameters

stream_id integer optional

Example: 43

The ID of the channel to access.

Clients must provide either stream or stream_id as a parameter to this endpoint, but not both.

Changes: New in Zulip 2.0.0.


stream string optional

Example: "Denmark"

The name of the channel to access.

Clients must provide either stream or stream_id as a parameter to this endpoint, but not both. Clients should use stream_id instead of the stream parameter when possible.


topic string required

Example: "dinner"

The topic to (un)mute. Note that the request will succeed regardless of whether any messages have been sent to the specified topic.

Clients should use the max_topic_length returned by the POST /register endpoint to determine the maximum topic length.


op string required

Example: "add"

Whether to mute (add) or unmute (remove) the provided topic.

Must be one of: "add", "remove".


Response

Example response(s)

Changes: As of Zulip 7.0 (feature level 167), if any parameters sent in the request are not supported by this endpoint, a successful JSON response will include an ignored_parameters_unsupported array.

A typical successful JSON response may look like:

{
    "msg": "",
    "result": "success"
}
