Users

Users export

This endpoint requires a server-side authentication.

Stream allows you to export users with their data, including the calls they participated in.

await client.exportUsers({ user_ids: ['<user id1>', '<user id1>'] });

Exporting users can take some time, this is how you can check the progress:

// Example of monitoring the status of an async task
// The logic is same for all async tasks
const response = await client.<async operation>();

// you need to poll this endpoint
const taskResponse = await client.getTask({id: response.task_id})

console.log(taskResponse.status === 'completed');

# Example of monitoring the status of an async task
# The logic is same for all async tasks
response = client.<async operation>()
task_id = response.data.task_id

# get information about the task
task_status = client.get_task(task_id)

# just an example, in reality it can take a few seconds for a task to be processed
if task_status.data.status == "completed":
    print(task_status.data.result)

# When an operation is async, a task_id will be included in the API response
# That task_id can be used to monitor the status of the task
# When finished, task status will be completed
curl -X GET https://video.stream-io-api.com/api/v2/tasks/${TASK_ID}?api_key=${API_KEY} \
    -H "Authorization: ${TOKEN}" \
    -H "stream-auth-type: jwt"

Users deletion

This endpoint requires a server-side authentication.

Stream allows you to delete users and optionally the calls they were part of.
Note that this apply only to 1:1 calls, not group calls.

client.deleteUsers({ user_ids: ['<id>'] });

//restore
client.restoreUsers({ user_ids: ['<id>'] });

client.delete_users(user_ids=["<id>"])

# restore
client.restore_users(user_ids=["<id>"])

response, err := client.DeleteUsers(ctx, &getstream.DeleteUsersRequest{UserIds: []string{"<id>"}})

// restore a soft-deleted user
_, err = client.RestoreUsers(ctx, &getstream.RestoreUsersRequest{UserIds: []string{"<id>"}})

# Delete users
curl -X POST https://video.stream-io-api.com/api/v2/users/delete?api_key=${API_KEY} \
  -H "Authorization: ${TOKEN}" \
  -H "stream-auth-type: jwt" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "user_ids": ["sara"]
  }'

# Restore users
curl -X POST https://video.stream-io-api.com/api/v2/users/restore?api_key=${API_KEY} \
  -H "Authorization: ${TOKEN}" \
  -H "stream-auth-type: jwt" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "user_ids": ["sara"]
  }'

The delete users endpoints supports the following parameters to control which data needs to be deleted and how. By default users and their data are soft-deleted.

Name	Type	Description	Optional
`user`	Enum (soft, pruning, hard)	- Soft: marks user as deleted and retains all user data. - Pruning: marks user as deleted and nullifies user information. - Hard: deletes user completely - this requires hard option for messages and conversation as well.	Yes
`conversations`	Enum (soft, hard)	- Soft: marks all conversation channels as deleted (same effect as Delete Channels with ‘hard’ option disabled). - Hard: deletes channel and all its data completely including messages (same effect as Delete Channels with ‘hard’ option enabled).	Yes
`messages`	Enum (soft, pruning, hard)	- Soft: marks all user messages as deleted without removing any related message data. - Pruning: marks all user messages as deleted, nullifies message information and removes some message data such as reactions and flags. - Hard: deletes messages completely with all related information.	Yes
`new_channel_owner_id`	string	Channels owned by hard-deleted users will be transferred to this userID. If you doesn’t provide a value, the channel owner will have a system generated ID like `delete-user-8219f6578a7395g`	Yes
`calls`	Enum (soft, hard)	- Soft: marks calls and related data as deleted. - Hard: deletes calls and related data completely Note that this applies only to 1:1 calls, not group calls	Yes

Deleting and restoring users in bulk can take some time, this is how you can check the progress:

// Example of monitoring the status of an async task
// The logic is same for all async tasks
const response = await client.<async operation>();

// you need to poll this endpoint
const taskResponse = await client.getTask({id: response.task_id})

console.log(taskResponse.status === 'completed');

# Example of monitoring the status of an async task
# The logic is same for all async tasks
response = client.<async operation>()
task_id = response.data.task_id

# get information about the task
task_status = client.get_task(task_id)

# just an example, in reality it can take a few seconds for a task to be processed
if task_status.data.status == "completed":
    print(task_status.data.result)

# When an operation is async, a task_id will be included in the API response
# That task_id can be used to monitor the status of the task
# When finished, task status will be completed
curl -X GET https://video.stream-io-api.com/api/v2/tasks/${TASK_ID}?api_key=${API_KEY} \
    -H "Authorization: ${TOKEN}" \
    -H "stream-auth-type: jwt"
