Update personal preferences for a topic
POST https://iprover.zulipchat.com/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
channel 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 a channel, given the channel's 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 a channel, given the channel's 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
Example: 1
The ID of the channel to access.
topic string required
Example: "dinner"
The topic for which the personal preferences needs to be updated.
Note that the request will succeed regardless of whether
any messages have been sent to the specified topic.
Clients should use the max_topic_length returned by the
POST /register endpoint to determine
the maximum topic length.
visibility_policy integer required
Example: 1
Controls which visibility policy to set.
In an unmuted channel, a topic visibility policy of unmuted will have the
same effect as the "None" visibility policy.
Changes: In Zulip 7.0 (feature level 219), added followed as
a visibility policy option.
Must be one of: 0, 1, 2, 3.
Response
