Update personal preferences for a topic
POST https://zulip.pms.ifi.lmu.de/api/v1/user_topics
This endpoint is used to update the personal preferences for a topic,
such as the topic's visibility policy, which is used to implement
mute a topic and related features.
This endpoint can be used to update the visibility policy for the single
stream and topic pair indicated by the parameters for a user.
Changes: New in Zulip 7.0 (feature level 170). Previously,
toggling whether a topic was muted or unmuted was managed by the
PATCH /users/me/subscriptions/muted_topics endpoint.
Usage examples
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import zulip
# Pass the path to your zuliprc file here.
client = zulip.Client(config_file="~/zuliprc")
# Mute the topic "dinner" in the stream having id 'stream_id'.
request = {
"stream_id": stream_id,
"topic": "dinner",
"visibility_policy": 1,
}
result = client.call_endpoint(
url="user_topics",
method="POST",
request=request,
)
# Remove mute from the topic "dinner" in the stream having id 'stream_id'.
request = {
"stream_id": stream_id,
"topic": "dinner",
"visibility_policy": 0,
}
result = client.call_endpoint(
url="user_topics",
method="POST",
request=request,
)
print(result)

Parameters
stream_id integer required
