-# List Room API
-
-The List Room admin API allows server admins to get a list of rooms on their
-server. There are various parameters available that allow for filtering and
-sorting the returned list. This API supports pagination.
-
-To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an `access_token`
-for a server admin: see [Admin API](../usage/administration/admin_api).
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following query parameters are available:
-
-* `from` - Offset in the returned list. Defaults to `0`.
-* `limit` - Maximum amount of rooms to return. Defaults to `100`.
-* `order_by` - The method in which to sort the returned list of rooms. Valid values are:
- - `alphabetical` - Same as `name`. This is deprecated.
- - `size` - Same as `joined_members`. This is deprecated.
- - `name` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by room name. This is the default.
- - `canonical_alias` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by main alias address of the room.
- - `joined_members` - Rooms are ordered by the number of members. Largest to smallest.
- - `joined_local_members` - Rooms are ordered by the number of local members. Largest to smallest.
- - `version` - Rooms are ordered by room version. Largest to smallest.
- - `creator` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by creator of the room.
- - `encryption` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by the end-to-end encryption algorithm.
- - `federatable` - Rooms are ordered by whether the room is federatable.
- - `public` - Rooms are ordered by visibility in room list.
- - `join_rules` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by join rules of the room.
- - `guest_access` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by guest access option of the room.
- - `history_visibility` - Rooms are ordered alphabetically by visibility of history of the room.
- - `state_events` - Rooms are ordered by number of state events. Largest to smallest.
-* `dir` - Direction of room order. Either `f` for forwards or `b` for backwards. Setting
- this value to `b` will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to `f`.
-* `search_term` - Filter rooms by their room name, canonical alias and room id.
- Specifically, rooms are selected if the search term is contained in
- - the room's name,
- - the local part of the room's canonical alias, or
- - the complete (local and server part) room's id (case sensitive).
-
- Defaults to no filtering.
-
-**Response**
-
-The following fields are possible in the JSON response body:
-
-* `rooms` - An array of objects, each containing information about a room.
- - Room objects contain the following fields:
- - `room_id` - The ID of the room.
- - `name` - The name of the room.
- - `canonical_alias` - The canonical (main) alias address of the room.
- - `joined_members` - How many users are currently in the room.
- - `joined_local_members` - How many local users are currently in the room.
- - `version` - The version of the room as a string.
- - `creator` - The `user_id` of the room creator.
- - `encryption` - Algorithm of end-to-end encryption of messages. Is `null` if encryption is not active.
- - `federatable` - Whether users on other servers can join this room.
- - `public` - Whether the room is visible in room directory.
- - `join_rules` - The type of rules used for users wishing to join this room. One of: ["public", "knock", "invite", "private"].
- - `guest_access` - Whether guests can join the room. One of: ["can_join", "forbidden"].
- - `history_visibility` - Who can see the room history. One of: ["invited", "joined", "shared", "world_readable"].
- - `state_events` - Total number of state_events of a room. Complexity of the room.
- - `room_type` - The type of the room taken from the room's creation event; for example "m.space" if the room is a space. If the room does not define a type, the value will be `null`.
-* `offset` - The current pagination offset in rooms. This parameter should be
- used instead of `next_token` for room offset as `next_token` is
- not intended to be parsed.
-* `total_rooms` - The total number of rooms this query can return. Using this
- and `offset`, you have enough information to know the current
- progression through the list.
-* `next_batch` - If this field is present, we know that there are potentially
- more rooms on the server that did not all fit into this response.
- We can use `next_batch` to get the "next page" of results. To do
- so, simply repeat your request, setting the `from` parameter to
- the value of `next_batch`.
-* `prev_batch` - If this field is present, it is possible to paginate backwards.
- Use `prev_batch` for the `from` value in the next request to
- get the "previous page" of results.
-
-The API is:
-

-# Room Messages API
-
-The Room Messages admin API allows server admins to get all messages
-sent to a room in a given timeframe. There are various parameters available
-that allow for filtering and ordering the returned list. This API supports pagination.
-
-To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an `access_token`
-for a server admin: see [Admin API](../usage/administration/admin_api).
-
-This endpoint mirrors the [Matrix Spec defined Messages API](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3roomsroomidmessages).
-
-The API is:
-```
-GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/messages
-```
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following path parameters are required:
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room you wish you fetch messages from.
-
-The following query parameters are available:
-
-* `from` (required) - The token to start returning events from. This token can be obtained from a prev_batch
- or next_batch token returned by the /sync endpoint, or from an end token returned by a previous request to this endpoint.
-* `to` - The token to spot returning events at.
-* `limit` - The maximum number of events to return. Defaults to `10`.
-* `filter` - A JSON RoomEventFilter to filter returned events with.
-* `dir` - The direction to return events from. Either `f` for forwards or `b` for backwards. Setting
- this value to `b` will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to `f`.
-
-**Response**
-
-The following fields are possible in the JSON response body:
-
-* `chunk` - A list of room events. The order depends on the dir parameter.
- Note that an empty chunk does not necessarily imply that no more events are available. Clients should continue to paginate until no end property is returned.
-* `end` - A token corresponding to the end of chunk. This token can be passed back to this endpoint to request further events.
- If no further events are available, this property is omitted from the response.
-* `start` - A token corresponding to the start of chunk.
-* `state` - A list of state events relevant to showing the chunk.
-
-**Example**
-
-For more details on each chunk, read [the Matrix specification](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1/client-server-api/#get_matrixclientv3roomsroomidmessages).

-
-# Room Timestamp to Event API
-
-The Room Timestamp to Event API endpoint fetches the `event_id` of the closest event to the given
-timestamp (`ts` query parameter) in the given direction (`dir` query parameter).
-
-Useful for cases like jump to date so you can start paginating messages from
-a given date in the archive.
-
-The API is:
-```
- GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/timestamp_to_event
-```
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following path parameters are required:
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room you wish to check.
-
-The following query parameters are available:
-
-* `ts` - a timestamp in milliseconds where we will find the closest event in
- the given direction.
-* `dir` - can be `f` or `b` to indicate forwards and backwards in time from the
- given timestamp. Defaults to `f`.
-
-**Response**
-
-* `event_id` - converted from timestamp
-
-# Block Room API
-The Block Room admin API allows server admins to block and unblock rooms,
-and query to see if a given room is blocked.
-This API can be used to pre-emptively block a room, even if it's unknown to this
-homeserver. Users will be prevented from joining a blocked room.
-
-## Block or unblock a room
-
-The API is:
-
-```
-PUT /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/block
-```
-
-with a body of:
-
-```json
-{
- "block": true
-}
-```
-
-A response body like the following is returned:
-
-```json
-{
- "block": true
-}
-```
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following parameters should be set in the URL:
-
-- `room_id` - The ID of the room.
-
-The following JSON body parameters are available:
-
-- `block` - If `true` the room will be blocked and if `false` the room will be unblocked.
-
-**Response**
-
-The following fields are possible in the JSON response body:
-
-- `block` - A boolean. `true` if the room is blocked, otherwise `false`
-
-## Get block status
-
-The API is:
-
-```
-GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/block
-```
-
-A response body like the following is returned:
-
-```json
-{
- "block": true,
- "user_id": "<user_id>"
-}
-```
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following parameters should be set in the URL:
-
-- `room_id` - The ID of the room.
-
-**Response**
-
-The following fields are possible in the JSON response body:
-
-- `block` - A boolean. `true` if the room is blocked, otherwise `false`
-- `user_id` - An optional string. If the room is blocked (`block` is `true`) shows
- the user who has add the room to blocking list. Otherwise it is not displayed.
-
-# Delete Room API
-
-The Delete Room admin API allows server admins to remove rooms from the server
-and block these rooms.
-
-Shuts down a room. Moves all local users and room aliases automatically to a
-new room if `new_room_user_id` is set. Otherwise local users only
-leave the room without any information.
-
-The new room will be created with the user specified by the `new_room_user_id` parameter
-as room administrator and will contain a message explaining what happened. Users invited
-to the new room will have power level `-10` by default, and thus be unable to speak.
-
-If `block` is `true`, users will be prevented from joining the old room.
-This option can in [Version 1](#version-1-old-version) also be used to pre-emptively
-block a room, even if it's unknown to this homeserver. In this case, the room will be
-blocked, and no further action will be taken. If `block` is `false`, attempting to
-delete an unknown room is invalid and will be rejected as a bad request.
-
-This API will remove all trace of the old room from your database after removing
-all local users. If `purge` is `true` (the default), all traces of the old room will
-be removed from your database after removing all local users. If you do not want
-this to happen, set `purge` to `false`.
-Depending on the amount of history being purged, a call to the API may take
-several minutes or longer.
-
-The local server will only have the power to move local user and room aliases to
-the new room. Users on other servers will be unaffected.
-
-## Version 1 (old version)
-
-This version works synchronously. That means you only get the response once the server has
-finished the action, which may take a long time. If you request the same action
-a second time, and the server has not finished the first one, the second request will block.
-This is fixed in version 2 of this API. The parameters are the same in both APIs.
-This API will become deprecated in the future.
-
-The API is:
-
-```
-DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>
-```
-
-with a body of:
-
-```json
-{
- "new_room_user_id": "@someuser:example.com",
- "room_name": "Content Violation Notification",
- "message": "Bad Room has been shutdown due to content violations on this server. Please review our Terms of Service.",
- "block": true,
- "purge": true
-}
-```
-
-A response body like the following is returned:
-
-```json
-{
- "kicked_users": [
- "@foobar:example.com"
- ],
- "failed_to_kick_users": [],
- "local_aliases": [
- "#badroom:example.com",
- "#evilsaloon:example.com"
- ],
- "new_room_id": "!newroomid:example.com"
-}
-```
-
-The parameters and response values have the same format as
-[version 2](#version-2-new-version) of the API.
-
-## Version 2 (new version)
-
-**Note**: This API is new, experimental and "subject to change".
-
-This version works asynchronously, meaning you get the response from server immediately
-while the server works on that task in background. You can then request the status of the action
-to check if it has completed.
-
-The API is:
-
-```
-DELETE /_synapse/admin/v2/rooms/<room_id>
-```
-
-with a body of:
-
-```json
-{
- "new_room_user_id": "@someuser:example.com",

- "message": "Bad Room has been shutdown due to content violations on this server. Please review our Terms of Service.",
- "block": true,
- "purge": true
-}
-```
-
-The API starts the shut down and purge running, and returns immediately with a JSON body with
-a purge id:
-
-```json
-{
- "delete_id": "<opaque id>"
-}
-```
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following parameters should be set in the URL:
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room.
-
-The following JSON body parameters are available:
-
-* `new_room_user_id` - Optional. If set, a new room will be created with this user ID
- as the creator and admin, and all users in the old room will be moved into that
- room. If not set, no new room will be created and the users will just be removed
- from the old room. The user ID must be on the local server, but does not necessarily
- have to belong to a registered user.
-* `room_name` - Optional. A string representing the name of the room that new users will be
- invited to. Defaults to `Content Violation Notification`
-* `message` - Optional. A string containing the first message that will be sent as
- `new_room_user_id` in the new room. Ideally this will clearly convey why the
- original room was shut down. Defaults to `Sharing illegal content on this server
- is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked.`
-* `block` - Optional. If set to `true`, this room will be added to a blocking list,
- preventing future attempts to join the room. Rooms can be blocked
- even if they're not yet known to the homeserver (only with
- [Version 1](#version-1-old-version) of the API). Defaults to `false`.
-* `purge` - Optional. If set to `true`, it will remove all traces of the room from your database.
- Defaults to `true`.
-* `force_purge` - Optional, and ignored unless `purge` is `true`. If set to `true`, it
- will force a purge to go ahead even if there are local users still in the room. Do not
- use this unless a regular `purge` operation fails, as it could leave those users'
- clients in a confused state.
-
-The JSON body must not be empty. The body must be at least `{}`.
-
-## Status of deleting rooms
-
-**Note**: This API is new, experimental and "subject to change".
-
-It is possible to query the status of the background task for deleting rooms.
-The status can be queried up to 24 hours after completion of the task,
-or until Synapse is restarted (whichever happens first).
-
-### Query by `room_id`
-
-With this API you can get the status of all active deletion tasks, and all those completed in the last 24h,
-for the given `room_id`.
-
-The API is:
-
-```
-GET /_synapse/admin/v2/rooms/<room_id>/delete_status
-```
-
-A response body like the following is returned:
-
-```json
-{
- "results": [
- {
- "delete_id": "delete_id1",
- "status": "failed",
- "error": "error message",
- "shutdown_room": {
- "kicked_users": [],
- "failed_to_kick_users": [],
- "local_aliases": [],

-}
-```
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following parameters should be set in the URL:
-
-* `room_id` - The ID of the room.
-
-### Query by `delete_id`
-
-With this API you can get the status of one specific task by `delete_id`.
-
-The API is:
-
-```
-GET /_synapse/admin/v2/rooms/delete_status/<delete_id>
-```
-
-A response body like the following is returned:
-
-```json
-{
- "status": "purging",
- "shutdown_room": {
- "kicked_users": [
- "@foobar:example.com"
- ],
- "failed_to_kick_users": [],
- "local_aliases": [
- "#badroom:example.com",
- "#evilsaloon:example.com"
- ],
- "new_room_id": "!newroomid:example.com"
- }
-}
-```
-
-**Parameters**
-
-The following parameters should be set in the URL:
-
-* `delete_id` - The ID for this delete.
-
-### Response
-
-The following fields are returned in the JSON response body:
-
-- `results` - An array of objects, each containing information about one task.
- This field is omitted from the result when you query by `delete_id`.
- Task objects contain the following fields:
- - `delete_id` - The ID for this purge if you query by `room_id`.
- - `status` - The status will be one of:
- - `shutting_down` - The process is removing users from the room.
- - `purging` - The process is purging the room and event data from database.
- - `complete` - The process has completed successfully.
- - `failed` - The process is aborted, an error has occurred.
- - `error` - A string that shows an error message if `status` is `failed`.
- Otherwise this field is hidden.
- - `shutdown_room` - An object containing information about the result of shutting down the room.
- *Note:* The result is shown after removing the room members.
- The delete process can still be running. Please pay attention to the `status`.
- - `kicked_users` - An array of users (`user_id`) that were kicked.
- - `failed_to_kick_users` - An array of users (`user_id`) that that were not kicked.
- - `local_aliases` - An array of strings representing the local aliases that were
- migrated from the old room to the new.
- - `new_room_id` - A string representing the room ID of the new room, or `null` if
- no such room was created.
-
-## Undoing room deletions
-
-*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room deletions being performed at the database level,
-the structure can and does change without notice.
-
-First, it's important to understand that a room deletion is very destructive. Undoing a deletion is not as simple as pretending it
-never happened - work has to be done to move forward instead of resetting the past. In fact, in some cases it might not be possible
-to recover at all:
-
-* If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.
-* If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.
-* The first user to rejoin will have to do so via an alias on a different
- server (or receive an invite from a user on a different server).
-
-With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
-
-1. If the room was `block`ed, you must unblock it on your server. This can be
- accomplished as follows:
-
- 1. For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.
- 2. In the database, run `DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';`
- * For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: `BEGIN; DELETE ...;`, verify you got 1 result, then `COMMIT;`.
- * The room ID is the same one supplied to the delete room API, not the Content Violation room.
- 3. Restart Synapse.
-
- This step is unnecessary if `block` was not set.
-
-2. Any room aliases on your server that pointed to the deleted room may have
- been deleted, or redirected to the Content Violation room. These will need
- to be restored manually.
-
-3. Users on your server that were in the deleted room will have been kicked
- from the room. Consider whether you want to update their membership
- (possibly via the [Edit Room Membership API](room_membership.md)) or let
- them handle rejoining themselves.
-
-4. If `new_room_user_id` was given, a 'Content Violation' will have been
- created. Consider whether you want to delete that roomm.
-
-# Make Room Admin API
-
-Grants another user the highest power available to a local user who is in the room.
-If the user is not in the room, and it is not publicly joinable, then invite the user.
-
-By default the server admin (the caller) is granted power, but another user can
-optionally be specified, e.g.:
-
-```
-POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/make_room_admin
-{
- "user_id": "@foo:example.com"
-}
-```
-
-# Forward Extremities Admin API
-
-Enables querying and deleting forward extremities from rooms. When a lot of forward
-extremities accumulate in a room, performance can become degraded. For details, see
-[#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760).
-
-## Check for forward extremities
-
-To check the status of forward extremities for a room:
-
-```
-GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/forward_extremities
-```
-
-A response as follows will be returned:
-
-```json
-{
- "count": 1,
- "results": [
- {
- "event_id": "$M5SP266vsnxctfwFgFLNceaCo3ujhRtg_NiiHabcdefgh",
- "state_group": 439,
- "depth": 123,
- "received_ts": 1611263016761
- }
- ]
-}
-```
-
-## Deleting forward extremities
-
-**WARNING**: Please ensure you know what you're doing and have read
-the related issue [#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760).
-Under no situations should this API be executed as an automated maintenance task!
-
-If a room has lots of forward extremities, the extra can be
-deleted as follows:
-
-```
-DELETE /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id_or_alias>/forward_extremities
-```
-
-A response as follows will be returned, indicating the amount of forward extremities
-that were deleted.
-
-```json
-{
- "deleted": 1
-}
-```
-
-# Event Context API
-
-This API lets a client find the context of an event. This is designed primarily to investigate abuse reports.
-
-```
-GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/context/<event_id>
-```
-
-This API mimmicks [GET /_matrix/client/r0/rooms/{roomId}/context/{eventId}](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.6.1#get-matrix-client-r0-rooms-roomid-context-eventid). Please refer to the link for all details on parameters and reseponse.
