User system registration

This page shows how to call Chat RESTful APIs to create and manage the user system, including how to register, modify, delete, ban, and unban a user, get user information, and force a user to log out.

Before calling the following methods, make sure you understand the call frequency limit of the Chat RESTful APIs as described in Limitations.

Common parameters​

The following table lists common request and response parameters of the Chat RESTful APIs:

Request parameters ​

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
hostStringThe domain name assigned by the Chat service to access RESTful APIs. For how to get the domain name, see Get the information of your project.Yes
org_nameStringThe unique identifier assigned to each company (organization) by the Chat service. For how to get the org name, see Get the information of the Chat project.Yes
app_nameStringThe unique identifier assigned to each app by the Chat service. For how to get the app name, see Get the information of the Chat project.Yes
usernameStringThe unique login account of the user. The user ID must be 64 characters or less and cannot be empty. The following character sets are supported:
  • 26 lowercase English letters (a-z)
  • 26 uppercase English letters (A-Z)
  • 10 numbers (0-9)
  • "_", "-", "."
  • The username is case insensitive, so Aa and aa are the same username.
  • Ensure that each username under the same app is unique.
  • Do not set this parameter as a UUID, email address, phone number, or other sensitive information.
Yes

Response parameters ​

ParameterTypeDescription
actionStringThe request method.
organizationStringThe unique identifier assigned to each company (organization) by the Chat service. This is the same as org_name.
applicationStringA unique internal ID assigned to each app by the Chat service. You can safely ignore this parameter.
applicationNameStringThe unique identifier assigned to each app by the Chat service . This is the same as app_name.
uriStringThe request URI.
pathStringThe request path, which is part of the request URL. You can safely ignore this parameter.
entities JSONThe response entity.
entities.uuidStringThe user's UUID. A unique internal identifier generated by the Chat service for the user in this request. This is used for generating the user token.
entities.typeStringThe type of the object. You can safely ignore this parameter.
entities.createdNumberThe Unix timestamp (ms) when the user is registered.
entities.modifiedNumberThe Unix timestamp (ms) when the user information is last modified.
entities.usernameStringThe username. The unique account the user is logged in with.
entities.activatedBoolWhether the user is active:
  • true: The user is active.

  • timestampNumberThe Unix timestamp (ms) of the HTTP response.
    durationNumberThe duration (ms) from when the HTTP request is sent to the time the response is received.

    Authorization​

    Chat RESTful APIs require Bearer HTTP authentication. Every time an HTTP request is sent, the following Authorization field must be filled in the request header:


    _1
    Authorization: Bearer ${YourAppToken}

    In order to improve the security of the project, Agora uses a token (dynamic key) to authenticate users before they log in to the chat system. Chat RESTful APIs only support authenticating users using app tokens. For details, see Authentication using App Token.
