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

# Update the user's subscription in stream #1 to pin it to the top of the
# stream list; and in stream #3 to have the hex color "f00"
request = [{
    'stream_id': 1,
    'property': 'pin_to_top',
    'value': True
}, {
    'stream_id': 3,
    'property': 'color',
    'value': 'f00'
}]

Arguments

Argument Example Required Description
subscription_data [{"stream_id":1,"property":"pin_to_top","value":true},{"stream_id":3,"property":"color","value":"#f00f00"}] Yes

A list of objects that describe the changes that should be applied in each subscription. Each object represents a subscription, and must have a stream_id key that identifies the stream, as well as the property being modified and its new value.

The possible values for each property and value pairs are:

  • color (string): the hex value of the user's display color for the stream.
  • is_muted (boolean): whether the stream is muted. Prior to Zulip 2.1, this feature was represented by the more confusingly named in_home_view (with the opposite value, in_home_view=!is_muted); for backwards-compatibility, modern Zulip still accepts that value.
  • pin_to_top (boolean): whether to pin the stream at the top of the stream list.
  • desktop_notifications (boolean): whether to show desktop notifications for all messages sent to the stream.
  • audible_notifications (boolean): whether to play a sound notification for all messages sent to the stream.
  • push_notifications (boolean): whether to trigger a mobile push notification for all messages sent to the stream.
  • email_notifications (boolean): whether to trigger an email notification for all messages sent to the stream.

Response

Return values

  • subscription_data: The same subscription_data object sent by the client for the request, confirming the changes made.
