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 returns UTC (the default value). the get system settings v2 endpoint can be used to get the correct timezone for a system (requires authentication). :::

Models

The following three models (usually represented in JSON format) represent the various objects in PluralKit's API. A ? after the column type indicates a nullable parameter (value can be cleared by setting it to null).

Endpoints

GET /s

Requires authentication.

Returns information about your own system.

Example request

GET https://api.pluralkit.me/v1/s

Example response

{
    "id": "abcde",
    "name": "My System",
    "description": "This is my system description. Yay.",
    "tag": "[MySys]",
    "avatar_url": "https://path/to/avatar/image.png",

    "front_privacy": "public",
    "front_history_privacy": "private"
}

GET /s/:id

Queries a system by its 5-character ID, and returns information about it. If the system doesn't exist, returns 404 Not Found. Some fields may be set to null if unauthenticated and the system has chosen to make those fields private.

Example request

GET https://api.pluralkit.me/v1/s/abcde

Example response

{
    "id": "abcde",
    "name": "My System",
    "description": "This is my system description. Yay.",
    "tag": "[MySys]",
    "avatar_url": "https://path/to/avatar/image.png",
    "tz": "Europe/Copenhagen",

    "description_privacy": null,
    "member_list_privacy": null,
    "front_privacy": null,
    "front_history_privacy": null
}

GET /s/:id/members

Queries a system's member list by its 5-character ID. If the system doesn't exist, returns 404 Not Found. 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.

Example request

GET https://api.pluralkit.me/v1/s/abcde/members

Example response

[
    {
        "id": "qwert",
        "name": "Craig Johnson",

        "metadata_privacy": null
    }
]

GET /s/:id/switches

Returns a system's switch history in newest-first chronological order, with a maximum of 100 switches. If the system doesn't exist, returns 404 Not Found. Optionally takes a ?before= 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, unless the request is authenticated with the system's token.

Example request

GET https://api.pluralkit.me/v1/s/abcde/switches?before=2019-03-01T14:00:00Z

Example response

[
    {
        "timestamp": "2019-02-23T14:20:59.123456Z",
        "members": ["qwert", "yuiop"]
    },

    },
    {
        "timestamp": "2019-02-20T09:30:00Z",
        "members": []
    }
]

GET /s/:id/fronters

Returns a system's current fronter(s), with fully hydrated member objects. If the system doesn't exist, or the system has no registered switches, returns 404 Not Found. If the system has chosen to hide its current fronters, this will return 403 Forbidden, unless the request is authenticated with the system's token. If a returned member is private, and the request isn't properly authenticated, some fields may be null.

Example request

    "member_list_privacy": "public",

POST /s/switches

Requires authentication.

Registers a new switch to your own system given a list of member IDs.

Example request

POST https://api.pluralkit.me/v1/s/switches

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

Example response

(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).

GET /a/:id

The returned system and member's privacy settings will be respected, and as such, some fields may be set to null without the proper authentication.
