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.
