Platform API

Users can make calls to each other by using their own unique ID. Using the Calls API, you can manage each user’s actions regarding Sendbird Calls.

Note: Use Chat Platform API to perform user-related actions.

Resource representation

The following table shows the list of properties in a user resource.

Property name	Type	Description
user_id	string	The unique ID of the user.
nickname	string	The user's nickname.
profile_url	string	The URL of the user’s profile image.
access_token	string	An opaque string that identifies the user. It is recommended that every user has their own access token and provides it upon login for security.
session_tokens[]	list	A list of information of session tokens that identifies the user session and which have no validity after their own expiration time. Each of items consists of two session_token and expires_at properties. The session_token is an opaque string and expires_at is a validation period of the session token. It is recommended that a new session token is periodically issued to every user, and provided upon the user's login for security.
has_ever_logged_in	boolean	Indicates whether the user has ever logged into the application so far.
is_active	boolean	Indicates whether the user is currently active within the application.
is_online	boolean	Indicates whether the user is currently connected to Sendbird server.
discovery_keys[]	array	An array of unique keys of the user which is provided to Sendbird server for discovering friends. By using the keys, the server can identify and match the user with other users.
preferred_languages[]	array	An array of one or more language codes to translate notification messages to preferred languages. Up to 4 languages can be set for the user. If messages are sent in one of the preferred languages, notification messages won't be translated. If messages are sent in a language other than the preferred languages, notification messages will be translated into the first language in the array. In addition, the messages translated into other preferred languages will be provided in the `sendbird` property of a notification message payload.
created_at	long	The time that the user was created, in Unix seconds format.
last_seen_at	long	The time recorded when the user goes offline, to indicate when they were last online, in Unix milliseconds format. If the user is online, the value is set as 0.
metadata[]	array	An array of key-value items which store additional user information. For more information, see the User & channel metadata page.

Actions

API endpoints are relative to the base URL allocated to your application. In this page, the /users endpoint refers to https://api-{application_id}.calls.sendbird.com/v1/users.

Note: If you want to know your application ID, sign in to your dashboard, go to the Settings > Application > General, and then check the Application ID.

It's recommended that the parameter values in API URLs be urlencoded, such as {user_id}.

Add a registration or device token

Adds a registration or device token of a user for push notification service. Depending on which push service you are using, you can pass one of two values in the token_type parameter: apns_voip, or fcm_voip. An FCM registration token and an APNs device token allow identification of each client app instance on each device and are generated and registered by Android and iOS apps through the corresponding SDKs.
