Delete a topic
Delete all messages in a topic.
POST https://society4.zulip.yocto.eu/api/v1/streams/{stream_id}/delete_topic
Topics are a field on messages (not an independent
data structure), so deleting all the messages in the topic
deletes the topic from Zulip.
Usage examples
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import zulip
# Pass the path to your zuliprc file here.
client = zulip.Client(config_file="~/zuliprc")
# Delete a topic given its stream_id
request = {
"topic_name": topic,
}
result = client.call_endpoint(
url=f"/streams/{stream_id}/delete_topic", method="POST", request=request
)
print(result)
