+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.57.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def on_account_data_updated(
+    user_id: str,
+    room_id: Optional[str],
+    account_data_type: str,
+    content: &quot;synapse.module_api.JsonDict&quot;,
+) -&gt; None:
+</code></pre>
+<p>Called after user's account data has been updated. The module is given the
+Matrix ID of the user whose account data is changing, the room ID the data is associated
+with, the type associated with the change, as well as the new content. If the account
+data is not associated with a specific room, then the room ID is <code>None</code>.</p>
+<p>This callback is triggered when new account data is added or when the data associated with
+a given type (and optionally room) changes. This includes deletion, since in Matrix,
+deleting account data consists of replacing the data associated with a given type
+(and optionally room) with an empty dictionary (<code>{}</code>).</p>
+<p>Note that this doesn't trigger when changing the tags associated with a room, as these are
+processed separately by Synapse.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, Synapse runs them all in order.</p>
+<h2 id="example"><a class="header" href="#example">Example</a></h2>

+<p>Account validity callbacks allow module developers to add extra steps to verify the
+validity on an account, i.e. see if a user can be granted access to their account on the
+Synapse instance. Account validity callbacks can be registered using the module API's
+<code>register_account_validity_callbacks</code> method.</p>
+<p>The available account validity callbacks are:</p>
+<h3 id="is_user_expired"><a class="header" href="#is_user_expired"><code>is_user_expired</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.39.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def is_user_expired(user: str) -&gt; Optional[bool]
+</code></pre>
+<p>Called when processing any authenticated request (except for logout requests). The module
+can return a <code>bool</code> to indicate whether the user has expired and should be locked out of
+their account, or <code>None</code> if the module wasn't able to figure it out. The user is
+represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. <code>@alice:example.com</code>).</p>
+<p>If the module returns <code>True</code>, the current request will be denied with the error code
+<code>ORG_MATRIX_EXPIRED_ACCOUNT</code> and the HTTP status code 403. Note that this doesn't
+invalidate the user's access token.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns <code>None</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
+callback that does not return <code>None</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
+any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.</p>
+<h3 id="on_user_registration"><a class="header" href="#on_user_registration"><code>on_user_registration</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.39.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def on_user_registration(user: str) -&gt; None
+</code></pre>
+<p>Called after successfully registering a user, in case the module needs to perform extra
+operations to keep track of them. (e.g. add them to a database table). The user is
+represented by their Matrix user ID.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, Synapse runs them all in order.</p>

+<p>Background update controller callbacks allow module developers to control (e.g. rate-limit)
+how database background updates are run. A database background update is an operation
+Synapse runs on its database in the background after it starts. It's usually used to run
+database operations that would take too long if they were run at the same time as schema
+updates (which are run on startup) and delay Synapse's startup too much: populating a
+table with a big amount of data, adding an index on a big table, deleting superfluous data,
+etc.</p>
+<p>Background update controller callbacks can be registered using the module API's
+<code>register_background_update_controller_callbacks</code> method. Only the first module (in order
+of appearance in Synapse's configuration file) calling this method can register background
+update controller callbacks, subsequent calls are ignored.</p>
+<p>The available background update controller callbacks are:</p>
+<h3 id="on_update"><a class="header" href="#on_update"><code>on_update</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.49.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">def on_update(update_name: str, database_name: str, one_shot: bool) -&gt; AsyncContextManager[int]
+</code></pre>
+<p>Called when about to do an iteration of a background update. The module is given the name
+of the update, the name of the database, and a flag to indicate whether the background
+update will happen in one go and may take a long time (e.g. creating indices). If this last
+argument is set to <code>False</code>, the update will be run in batches.</p>
+<p>The module must return an async context manager. It will be entered before Synapse runs a 
+background update; this should return the desired duration of the iteration, in
+milliseconds.</p>
+<p>The context manager will be exited when the iteration completes. Note that the duration
+returned by the context manager is a target, and an iteration may take substantially longer
+or shorter. If the <code>one_shot</code> flag is set to <code>True</code>, the duration returned is ignored.</p>
+<p><strong>Note</strong>: Unlike most module callbacks in Synapse, this one is <em>synchronous</em>. This is
+because asynchronous operations are expected to be run by the async context manager.</p>
+<p>This callback is required when registering any other background update controller callback.</p>
+<h3 id="default_batch_size"><a class="header" href="#default_batch_size"><code>default_batch_size</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.49.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def default_batch_size(update_name: str, database_name: str) -&gt; int
+</code></pre>
+<p>Called before the first iteration of a background update, with the name of the update and
+of the database. The module must return the number of elements to process in this first
+iteration.</p>
+<p>If this callback is not defined, Synapse will use a default value of 100.</p>
+<h3 id="min_batch_size"><a class="header" href="#min_batch_size"><code>min_batch_size</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.49.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def min_batch_size(update_name: str, database_name: str) -&gt; int
+</code></pre>
+<p>Called before running a new batch for a background update, with the name of the update and
+of the database. The module must return an integer representing the minimum number of
+elements to process in this iteration. This number must be at least 1, and is used to
+ensure that progress is always made.</p>
+<p>If this callback is not defined, Synapse will use a default value of 100.</p>

+<p>Synapse supports extending its functionality by configuring external modules.</p>
+<p><strong>Note</strong>: When using third-party modules, you effectively allow someone else to run
+custom code on your Synapse homeserver. Server admins are encouraged to verify the
+provenance of the modules they use on their homeserver and make sure the modules aren't
+running malicious code on their instance.</p>
+<h2 id="using-modules"><a class="header" href="#using-modules">Using modules</a></h2>
+<p>To use a module on Synapse, add it to the <code>modules</code> section of the configuration file:</p>
+<pre><code class="language-yaml">modules:
+  - module: my_super_module.MySuperClass
+    config:
+      do_thing: true
+  - module: my_other_super_module.SomeClass
+    config: {}
+</code></pre>
+<p>Each module is defined by a path to a Python class as well as a configuration. This
+information for a given module should be available in the module's own documentation.</p>
+<h2 id="using-multiple-modules"><a class="header" href="#using-multiple-modules">Using multiple modules</a></h2>
+<p>The order in which modules are listed in this section is important. When processing an
+action that can be handled by several modules, Synapse will always prioritise the module
+that appears first (i.e. is the highest in the list). This means:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>If several modules register the same callback, the callback registered by the module
+that appears first is used.</li>
+<li>If several modules try to register a handler for the same HTTP path, only the handler
+registered by the module that appears first is used. Handlers registered by the other
+module(s) are ignored and Synapse will log a warning message about them.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Note that Synapse doesn't allow multiple modules implementing authentication checkers via
+the password auth provider feature for the same login type with different fields. If this
+happens, Synapse will refuse to start.</p>
+<h2 id="current-status"><a class="header" href="#current-status">Current status</a></h2>
+<p>We are currently in the process of migrating module interfaces to this system. While some
+interfaces might be compatible with it, others still require configuring modules in
+another part of Synapse's configuration file.</p>
+<p>Currently, only the following pre-existing interfaces are compatible with this new system:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>spam checker</li>
+<li>third-party rules</li>
+<li>presence router</li>
+<li>password auth providers</li>
+</ul>

+<p>A dict mapping from tuples of a login type identifier (such as <code>m.login.password</code>) and a
+tuple of field names (such as <code>(&quot;password&quot;, &quot;secret_thing&quot;)</code>) to authentication checking
+callbacks, which should be of the following form:</p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_auth(

+    ]

+</code></pre>
+<p>The login type and field names should be provided by the user in the
+request to the <code>/login</code> API. <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#authentication-types">The Matrix specification</a>
+defines some types, however user defined ones are also allowed.</p>
+<p>The callback is passed the <code>user</code> field provided by the client (which might not be in
+<code>@username:server</code> form), the login type, and a dictionary of login secrets passed by
+the client.</p>
+<p>If the authentication is successful, the module must return the user's Matrix ID (e.g. 
+<code>@alice:example.com</code>) and optionally a callback to be called with the response to the
+<code>/login</code> request. If the module doesn't wish to return a callback, it must return <code>None</code>
+instead.</p>
+<p>If the authentication is unsuccessful, the module must return <code>None</code>.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules register an auth checker for the same login type but with different
+fields, Synapse will refuse to start.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules register an auth checker for the same login type with the same fields,
+then the callbacks will be executed in order, until one returns a Matrix User ID (and
+optionally a callback). In that case, the return value of that callback will be accepted
+and subsequent callbacks will not be fired. If every callback returns <code>None</code>, then the
+authentication fails.</p>
+<h3 id="check_3pid_auth"><a class="header" href="#check_3pid_auth"><code>check_3pid_auth</code></a></h3>

+<p>If the authentication is successful, the module must return the user's Matrix ID (e.g.

+<p>If the authentication is unsuccessful, the module must return <code>None</code>.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns <code>None</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
+callback that does not return <code>None</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
+any of the subsequent implementations of this callback. If every callback returns <code>None</code>,

+being registered by returning it as a string, or <code>None</code> if it doesn't wish to force a
+username for this user. If a username is returned, it will be used as the local part of a
+user's full Matrix ID (e.g. it's <code>alice</code> in <code>@alice:example.com</code>).</p>
+<p>This callback is called once <a href="https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-interactive-authentication-api">User-Interactive Authentication</a>
+has been completed by the user. It is not called when registering a user via SSO. It is
+passed two dictionaries, which include the information that the user has provided during

+<p>The first dictionary contains the results of the <a href="https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#user-interactive-authentication-api">User-Interactive Authentication</a>
+flow followed by the user. Its keys are the identifiers of every step involved in the flow,
+associated with either a boolean value indicating whether the step was correctly completed,

+<p>In order to port a module that uses Synapse's old module interface, its author needs to:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>ensure the module's callbacks are all asynchronous.</li>
+<li>register their callbacks using one or more of the <code>register_[...]_callbacks</code> methods
+from the <code>ModuleApi</code> class in the module's <code>__init__</code> method (see <a href="writing_a_module.html#registering-a-callback">this section</a>
+for more info).</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Additionally, if the module is packaged with an additional web resource, the module
+should register this resource in its <code>__init__</code> method using the <code>register_web_resource</code>
+method from the <code>ModuleApi</code> class (see <a href="writing_a_module.html#registering-a-web-resource">this section</a> for
+more info).</p>
+<p>There is no longer a <code>get_db_schema_files</code> callback provided for password auth provider modules. Any
+changes to the database should now be made by the module using the module API class.</p>
+<p>The module's author should also update any example in the module's configuration to only
+use the new <code>modules</code> section in Synapse's configuration file (see <a href="index.html#using-modules">this section</a>
+for more info).</p>

+<p>Presence router callbacks allow module developers to specify additional users (local or remote)
+to receive certain presence updates from local users. Presence router callbacks can be 
+registered using the module API's <code>register_presence_router_callbacks</code> method.</p>
+<h2 id="callbacks"><a class="header" href="#callbacks">Callbacks</a></h2>
+<p>The available presence router callbacks are:</p>
+<h3 id="get_users_for_states"><a class="header" href="#get_users_for_states"><code>get_users_for_states</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.42.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def get_users_for_states(
+    state_updates: Iterable[&quot;synapse.api.UserPresenceState&quot;],
+) -&gt; Dict[str, Set[&quot;synapse.api.UserPresenceState&quot;]]
+</code></pre>
+<p><strong>Requires</strong> <code>get_interested_users</code> to also be registered</p>
+<p>Called when processing updates to the presence state of one or more users. This callback can
+be used to instruct the server to forward that presence state to specific users. The module
+must return a dictionary that maps from Matrix user IDs (which can be local or remote) to the
+<code>UserPresenceState</code> changes that they should be forwarded.</p>
+<p>Synapse will then attempt to send the specified presence updates to each user when possible.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, Synapse merges all the dictionaries returned
+by the callbacks. If multiple callbacks return a dictionary containing the same key,
+Synapse concatenates the sets associated with this key from each dictionary. </p>
+<h3 id="get_interested_users"><a class="header" href="#get_interested_users"><code>get_interested_users</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.42.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def get_interested_users(
+    user_id: str
+) -&gt; Union[Set[str], &quot;synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS&quot;]
+</code></pre>
+<p><strong>Requires</strong> <code>get_users_for_states</code> to also be registered</p>
+<p>Called when determining which users someone should be able to see the presence state of. This
+callback should return complementary results to <code>get_users_for_state</code> or the presence information 
+may not be properly forwarded.</p>
+<p>The callback is given the Matrix user ID for a local user that is requesting presence data and
+should return the Matrix user IDs of the users whose presence state they are allowed to
+query. The returned users can be local or remote. </p>
+<p>Alternatively the callback can return <code>synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS</code>
+to indicate that the user should receive updates from all known users.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. Synapse
+calls each callback one by one, and use a concatenation of all the <code>set</code>s returned by the
+callbacks. If one callback returns <code>synapse.module_api.PRESENCE_ALL_USERS</code>, Synapse uses
+this value instead. If this happens, Synapse does not call any of the subsequent
+implementations of this callback.</p>
+<h2 id="example"><a class="header" href="#example">Example</a></h2>
+<p>The example below is a module that implements both presence router callbacks, and ensures
+that <code>@alice:example.org</code> receives all presence updates from <code>@bob:example.com</code> and
+<code>@charlie:somewhere.org</code>, regardless of whether Alice shares a room with any of them.</p>

+(e.g. <code>alice@example.com</code>). See <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#pid-types">the Matrix specification</a>

+<p>For example, a call to this callback to send an invitation to the email address

+    &quot;!some_room:example.com&quot;,  # The ID of the room to send the invite into
+)
+</code></pre>
+<p><strong>Note</strong>: If the third-party identifier is already associated with a matrix user ID,
+<a href="#user_may_invite"><code>user_may_invite</code></a> will be used instead.</p>

+<p>Third party rules callbacks allow module developers to add extra checks to verify the
+validity of incoming events. Third party event rules callbacks can be registered using
+the module API's <code>register_third_party_rules_callbacks</code> method.</p>
+<h2 id="callbacks"><a class="header" href="#callbacks">Callbacks</a></h2>
+<p>The available third party rules callbacks are:</p>
+<h3 id="check_event_allowed"><a class="header" href="#check_event_allowed"><code>check_event_allowed</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.39.0</em></p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">async def check_event_allowed(
+    event: &quot;synapse.events.EventBase&quot;,
+    state_events: &quot;synapse.types.StateMap&quot;,
+) -&gt; Tuple[bool, Optional[dict]]
+</code></pre>
+<p><strong><span style="color:red">
+This callback is very experimental and can and will break without notice. Module developers
+are encouraged to implement <code>check_event_for_spam</code> from the spam checker category instead.
+</span></strong></p>
+<p>Called when processing any incoming event, with the event and a <code>StateMap</code>
+representing the current state of the room the event is being sent into. A <code>StateMap</code> is
+a dictionary that maps tuples containing an event type and a state key to the
+corresponding state event. For example retrieving the room's <code>m.room.create</code> event from
+the <code>state_events</code> argument would look like this: <code>state_events.get((&quot;m.room.create&quot;, &quot;&quot;))</code>.
+The module must return a boolean indicating whether the event can be allowed.</p>
+<p>Note that this callback function processes incoming events coming via federation
+traffic (on top of client traffic). This means denying an event might cause the local
+copy of the room's history to diverge from that of remote servers. This may cause
+federation issues in the room. It is strongly recommended to only deny events using this
+callback function if the sender is a local user, or in a private federation in which all
+servers are using the same module, with the same configuration.</p>
+<p>If the boolean returned by the module is <code>True</code>, it may also tell Synapse to replace the
+event with new data by returning the new event's data as a dictionary. In order to do
+that, it is recommended the module calls <code>event.get_dict()</code> to get the current event as a
+dictionary, and modify the returned dictionary accordingly.</p>
+<p>If <code>check_event_allowed</code> raises an exception, the module is assumed to have failed.
+The event will not be accepted but is not treated as explicitly rejected, either.
+An HTTP request causing the module check will likely result in a 500 Internal
+Server Error.</p>
+<p>When the boolean returned by the module is <code>False</code>, the event is rejected.
+(Module developers should not use exceptions for rejection.)</p>
+<p>Note that replacing the event only works for events sent by local users, not for events
+received over federation.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns <code>True</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
+callback that does not return <code>True</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
+any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.</p>
+<h3 id="on_create_room"><a class="header" href="#on_create_room"><code>on_create_room</code></a></h3>
+<p><em>First introduced in Synapse v1.39.0</em></p>

+</code></pre>
+<p>Called when processing a room creation request, with the <code>Requester</code> object for the user
+performing the request, a dictionary representing the room creation request's JSON body
+(see <a href="https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#post-matrix-client-r0-createroom">the spec</a>
+for a list of possible parameters), and a boolean indicating whether the user performing
+the request is a server admin.</p>
+<p>Modules can modify the <code>request_content</code> (by e.g. adding events to its <code>initial_state</code>),
+or deny the room's creation by raising a <code>module_api.errors.SynapseError</code>.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns without raising an exception, Synapse falls through to the next one. The
+room creation will be forbidden as soon as one of the callbacks raises an exception. If

+</code></pre>
+<p>Called when changing the visibility of a room in the local public room directory. The
+visibility is a string that's either &quot;public&quot; or &quot;private&quot;. The module must return a
+boolean indicating whether the change can go through.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a

+<p>Called after sending an event into a room. The module is passed the event, as well
+as the state of the room <em>after</em> the event. This means that if the event is a state event,
+it will be included in this state.</p>
+<p>Note that this callback is called when the event has already been processed and stored
+into the room, which means this callback cannot be used to deny persisting the event. To
+deny an incoming event, see <a href="spam_checker_callbacks.html#check_event_for_spam"><code>check_event_for_spam</code></a> instead.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, Synapse runs them all in order.</p>

+<p>Called when an admin user requests the shutdown of a room. The module must return a
+boolean indicating whether the shutdown can go through. If the callback returns <code>False</code>,
+the shutdown will not proceed and the caller will see a <code>M_FORBIDDEN</code> error.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a

+</code></pre>
+<p>Called when the deactivation of a user is requested. User deactivation can be
+performed by an admin or the user themselves, so developers are encouraged to check the
+requester when implementing this callback. The module must return a
+boolean indicating whether the deactivation can go through. If the callback returns <code>False</code>,
+the deactivation will not proceed and the caller will see a <code>M_FORBIDDEN</code> error.</p>
+<p>The module is passed two parameters, <code>user_id</code> which is the ID of the user being deactivated, and <code>by_admin</code> which is <code>True</code> if the request is made by a serve admin, and <code>False</code> otherwise.</p>
+<p>If multiple modules implement this callback, they will be considered in order. If a
+callback returns <code>True</code>, Synapse falls through to the next one. The value of the first
+callback that does not return <code>True</code> will be used. If this happens, Synapse will not call
+any of the subsequent implementations of this callback.</p>

+) -&gt; None:
+</code></pre>
+<p>Called after updating a local user's profile. The update can be triggered either by the
+user themselves or a server admin. The update can also be triggered by a user being
+deactivated (in which case their display name is set to an empty string (<code>&quot;&quot;</code>) and the
+avatar URL is set to <code>None</code>). The module is passed the Matrix ID of the user whose profile
+has been updated, their new profile, as well as a <code>by_admin</code> boolean that is <code>True</code> if the
+update was triggered by a server admin (and <code>False</code> otherwise), and a <code>deactivated</code>
+boolean that is <code>True</code> if the update is a result of the user being deactivated.</p>
+<p>Note that the <code>by_admin</code> boolean is also <code>True</code> if the profile change happens as a result
+of the user logging in through Single Sign-On, or if a server admin updates their own
+profile.</p>
+<p>Per-room profile changes do not trigger this callback to be called. Synapse administrators
+wishing this callback to be called on every profile change are encouraged to disable
+per-room profiles globally using the <code>allow_per_room_profiles</code> configuration setting in
+Synapse's configuration file.
+This callback is not called when registering a user, even when setting it through the
+<a href="https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/modules/password_auth_provider_callbacks.html#get_displayname_for_registration"><code>get_displayname_for_registration</code></a>

+deactivation can be triggered either by the user themselves or a server admin. The module
+is passed the Matrix ID of the user whose status is changed, as well as a <code>deactivated</code>
+boolean that is <code>True</code> if the user is being deactivated and <code>False</code> if they're being
+reactivated, and a <code>by_admin</code> boolean that is <code>True</code> if the deactivation was triggered by
+a server admin (and <code>False</code> otherwise). This latter <code>by_admin</code> boolean is always <code>True</code>
+if the user is being reactivated, as this operation can only be performed through the
+admin API.</p>

+(email address, phone number). The module is given the Matrix ID of the user the
+association is for, as well as the medium (<code>email</code> or <code>msisdn</code>) and address of the
+third-party identifier.</p>

+<p>A module is a Python class that uses Synapse's module API to interact with the
+homeserver. It can register callbacks that Synapse will call on specific operations, as
+well as web resources to attach to Synapse's web server.</p>
+<p>When instantiated, a module is given its parsed configuration as well as an instance of
+the <code>synapse.module_api.ModuleApi</code> class. The configuration is a dictionary, and is
+either the output of the module's <code>parse_config</code> static method (see below), or the
+configuration associated with the module in Synapse's configuration file.</p>
+<p>See the documentation for the <code>ModuleApi</code> class
+<a href="https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/module_api/__init__.py">here</a>.</p>
+<h2 id="when-synapse-runs-with-several-modules-configured"><a class="header" href="#when-synapse-runs-with-several-modules-configured">When Synapse runs with several modules configured</a></h2>
+<p>If Synapse is running with other modules configured, the order each module appears in
+within the <code>modules</code> section of the Synapse configuration file might restrict what it can
+or cannot register. See <a href="index.html#using-multiple-modules">this section</a> for more
+information.</p>
+<p>On top of the rules listed in the link above, if a callback returns a value that should
+cause the current operation to fail (e.g. if a callback checking an event returns with a
+value that should cause the event to be denied), Synapse will fail the operation and
+ignore any subsequent callbacks that should have been run after this one.</p>
+<p>The documentation for each callback mentions how Synapse behaves when
+multiple modules implement it.</p>
+<h2 id="handling-the-modules-configuration"><a class="header" href="#handling-the-modules-configuration">Handling the module's configuration</a></h2>
+<p>A module can implement the following static method:</p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">@staticmethod
+def parse_config(config: dict) -&gt; Any
+</code></pre>
+<p>This method is given a dictionary resulting from parsing the YAML configuration for the
+module. It may modify it (for example by parsing durations expressed as strings (e.g.
+&quot;5d&quot;) into milliseconds, etc.), and return the modified dictionary. It may also verify
+that the configuration is correct, and raise an instance of
+<code>synapse.module_api.errors.ConfigError</code> if not.</p>
+<h2 id="registering-a-web-resource"><a class="header" href="#registering-a-web-resource">Registering a web resource</a></h2>
+<p>Modules can register web resources onto Synapse's web server using the following module
+API method:</p>
+<pre><code class="language-python">def ModuleApi.register_web_resource(path: str, resource: IResource) -&gt; None
+</code></pre>
+<p>The path is the full absolute path to register the resource at. For example, if you
+register a resource for the path <code>/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello</code>, Synapse
+will serve it at <code>http(s)://[HS_URL]/_synapse/client/my_super_module/say_hello</code>. Note
+that Synapse does not allow registering resources for several sub-paths in the <code>/_matrix</code>
+namespace (such as anything under <code>/_matrix/client</code> for example). It is strongly
+recommended that modules register their web resources under the <code>/_synapse/client</code>
+namespace.</p>
+<p>The provided resource is a Python class that implements Twisted's <a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.IResource.html">IResource</a>
+interface (such as <a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.web.resource.Resource.html">Resource</a>).</p>
+<p>Only one resource can be registered for a given path. If several modules attempt to
+register a resource for the same path, the module that appears first in Synapse's
+configuration file takes priority.</p>
+<p>Modules <strong>must</strong> register their web resources in their <code>__init__</code> method.</p>
+<h2 id="registering-a-callback"><a class="header" href="#registering-a-callback">Registering a callback</a></h2>
+<p>Modules can use Synapse's module API to register callbacks. Callbacks are functions that
+Synapse will call when performing specific actions. Callbacks must be asynchronous (unless
+specified otherwise), and are split in categories. A single module may implement callbacks
+from multiple categories, and is under no obligation to implement all callbacks from the
+categories it registers callbacks for.</p>
+<p>Modules can register callbacks using one of the module API's <code>register_[...]_callbacks</code>
+methods. The callback functions are passed to these methods as keyword arguments, with
+the callback name as the argument name and the function as its value. A
+<code>register_[...]_callbacks</code> method exists for each category.</p>
+<p>Callbacks for each category can be found on their respective page of the
+<a href="https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse">Synapse documentation website</a>.</p>
