Response

Return values

• avatar_url: string

  URL for the user's avatar.

  Changes: New in Zulip 2.1.0.

• 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}.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10). Previous versions do not return this field.

• email: string

  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 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).

• is_guest: boolean

  A boolean indicating if the requesting user is a guest.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10). Previous versions do not return this field.

• is_bot: boolean

  A boolean indicating if the requesting user is a bot.

• is_active: boolean

  A boolean specifying whether the user account has been deactivated.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10). Previous versions do not return this field.

• timezone: string

  The time zone of the user.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10). Previous versions do not return this field.

• date_joined: string

  The time the user account was created.

  Changes: New in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 10). Previous versions do not return this field.

• max_message_id: integer

  The integer ID of the last message received by your 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 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.
