Response

Return values

• server_timestamp: number

  The time when the server fetched the presences data included in the response.

• presences: object

  A dictionary where each entry describes the presence details of a user in the Zulip organization.

  • {user_email}: object

    Object containing the details of a user's presence on every client the user is logged into. The object's key is the user's email.

    • {client_name} or aggregated: object

      Object containing the details of the user's presence on a particular platform.

      Generally, the keys for these objects are the names of the different clients where this user is logged in, for example website or ZulipDesktop.

      There is also an aggregated key, which matches the contents of the object that has been updated most recently (except for the pushable value which is not present).

      • client: string

        The client's platform name.

      • status: string

        The status of the user on this client. Will be either idle or active.

      • timestamp: integer

        The UNIX timestamp of when this client sent the user's presence to the server with the precision of a second.

      • pushable: boolean

        Whether the client is capable of showing mobile/push notifications to the user.

        Not present in objects with the aggregated key.
