Legacy API documentation
::: warning This is the documentation for v1 of the PluralKit API. Please use v2 going forwards - v1 is deprecated and will be removed eventually.
Some keys have been phased out of models and are therefore no longer functioning on v1:
- 2021-12-07:
tz
in system model always returnsUTC
(the default value). the get system settings v2 endpoint can be used to get the correct timezone for a system (requires authentication). :::

if unauthenticated and the system has chosen to make those fields private.
Example request
GET https://api.pluralkit.me/v1/s/abcde

.
If the system has chosen to hide its member list, this will return 403 Forbidden
, unless the request is authenticated with the system's token.
If the request is not authenticated with the system's token, members marked as private will not be returned.

query parameter with an ISO-8601-formatted timestamp, and will only return switches
that happen before that timestamp.
If the system has chosen to hide its switch history, this will return 403 Forbidden

GET /s/:id/fronters

}
(note the absence of a description
field, which has its old value preserved in the response)
Example response

{
"members": ["qwert", "yuiop"]

(204 No Content
)
GET /m/:id
Queries a member's information by its 5-character member ID. If the member does not exist, will return 404 Not Found
.
If this member is marked private, and the request isn't authenticated with the member's system's token, some fields will contain null
rather than the true value (corresponding with the privacy settings). Regardless of privacy setting, a non-authenticated request will only receive null
for the privacy fields (and visibility
).
