Unsubscribe from a stream
DELETE https://chat.dpt.gba.gob.ar/api/v1/users/me/subscriptions
Unsubscribe yourself or other users from one or more streams.
In addition to managing the current user's subscriptions, this
endpoint can be used by organization administrators to remove
other users from streams, or to remove a bot that the current
user is the bot_owner for from any stream that the current
user can access.
Changes: Before Zulip 6.0 (feature level 145), only
organization administrators could remove other users from
streams.
Usage examples
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import zulip
# Pass the path to your zuliprc file here.
client = zulip.Client(config_file="~/zuliprc")
# Unsubscribe from the stream "new stream"
result = client.remove_subscriptions(
["new stream"],
)
# Unsubscribe another user from the stream "new stream"
result = client.remove_subscriptions(
["new stream"],
principals=["newbie@zulip.com"],
)
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);
// Unsubscribe from the stream "Denmark"
const meParams = {
subscriptions: JSON.stringify(["Denmark"]),
};
console.log(await client.users.me.subscriptions.remove(meParams));
const user_id = 7;
// Unsubscribe Zoe from the stream "Denmark"
const zoeParams = {
subscriptions: JSON.stringify(["Denmark"]),
principals: JSON.stringify([user_id]),
};
console.log(await client.users.me.subscriptions.remove(zoeParams));
})();
Note: Unsubscribing another user from a stream requires
administrative privileges.
curl -sSX DELETE https://chat.dpt.gba.gob.ar/api/v1/users/me/subscriptions \
-u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
--data-urlencode 'subscriptions=["Verona", "Denmark"]'
You may specify the principals parameter like so:
curl -sSX DELETE https://chat.dpt.gba.gob.ar/api/v1/users/me/subscriptions \
-u BOT_EMAIL_ADDRESS:BOT_API_KEY \
--data-urlencode 'subscriptions=["Verona", "Denmark"]' \
--data-urlencode 'principals=["ZOE@zulip.com"]'
Parameters
subscriptions (string)[] required
Example: ["Verona", "Denmark"]
A list of stream names to unsubscribe from. This parameter is called
streams in our Python API.
principals (string)[] | (integer)[] optional
Example: ["ZOE@zulip.com"]
A list of user ids (preferred) or Zulip display email
addresses of the users to be subscribed to or unsubscribed
from the streams specified in the subscriptions parameter. If
not provided, then the requesting user/bot is subscribed.
Changes: The integer format is new in Zulip 3.0 (feature level 9).
Response
Return values
-
not_removed: (string)[]
A list of the names of streams that the user is already unsubscribed
from, and hence doesn't need to be unsubscribed.
-
removed: (string)[]
A list of the names of streams which were unsubscribed from as a result
of the query.
