Zulip Events API

The Zulip Events API delivers real-time updates from a Zulip server to a client via an HTTPS long-poll. Clients register an event queue via POST /api/v1/register, then call GET /api/v1/events with the returned queue_id and last_event_id to receive batches of typed events covering messages, reactions, subscriptions, presence, typing, channel/stream changes, user and organization updates, custom emoji, alert words, message-flag changes, drafts, scheduled messages, reminders, user groups, and system heartbeat/restart signals.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Zulip Events API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
