+<li><code>name</code> - The name of the room.</li>
+<li><code>canonical_alias</code> - The canonical (main) alias address of the room.</li>
+<li><code>joined_members</code> - How many users are currently in the room.</li>
+<li><code>joined_local_members</code> - How many local users are currently in the room.</li>
+<li><code>version</code> - The version of the room as a string.</li>
+<li><code>creator</code> - The <code>user_id</code> of the room creator.</li>
+<li><code>encryption</code> - Algorithm of end-to-end encryption of messages. Is <code>null</code> if encryption is not active.</li>
+<li><code>federatable</code> - Whether users on other servers can join this room.</li>
+<li><code>public</code> - Whether the room is visible in room directory.</li>
+<li><code>join_rules</code> - The type of rules used for users wishing to join this room. One of: [&quot;public&quot;, &quot;knock&quot;, &quot;invite&quot;, &quot;private&quot;].</li>
+<li><code>guest_access</code> - Whether guests can join the room. One of: [&quot;can_join&quot;, &quot;forbidden&quot;].</li>
+<li><code>history_visibility</code> - Who can see the room history. One of: [&quot;invited&quot;, &quot;joined&quot;, &quot;shared&quot;, &quot;world_readable&quot;].</li>
+<li><code>state_events</code> - Total number of state_events of a room. Complexity of the room.</li>
+<li><code>room_type</code> - The type of the room taken from the room's creation event; for example &quot;m.space&quot; if the room is a space. If the room does not define a type, the value will be <code>null</code>.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li><code>offset</code> - The current pagination offset in rooms. This parameter should be
+used instead of <code>next_token</code> for room offset as <code>next_token</code> is
+not intended to be parsed.</li>
+<li><code>total_rooms</code> - The total number of rooms this query can return. Using this
+and <code>offset</code>, you have enough information to know the current
+progression through the list.</li>
+<li><code>next_batch</code> - 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 <code>next_batch</code> to get the &quot;next page&quot; of results. To do
+so, simply repeat your request, setting the <code>from</code> parameter to
+the value of <code>next_batch</code>.</li>
+<li><code>prev_batch</code> - If this field is present, it is possible to paginate backwards.
+Use <code>prev_batch</code> for the <code>from</code> value in the next request to

+<p><strong>Parameters</strong></p>
+<p>The following path parameters are required:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>room_id</code> - The ID of the room you wish you fetch messages from.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The following query parameters are available:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>from</code> (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.</li>
+<li><code>to</code> - The token to spot returning events at.</li>
+<li><code>limit</code> - The maximum number of events to return. Defaults to <code>10</code>.</li>
+<li><code>filter</code> - A JSON RoomEventFilter to filter returned events with.</li>
+<li><code>dir</code> - The direction to return events from. Either <code>f</code> for forwards or <code>b</code> for backwards. Setting
+this value to <code>b</code> will reverse the above sort order. Defaults to <code>f</code>.</li>
+</ul>
+<p><strong>Response</strong></p>
+<p>The following fields are possible in the JSON response body:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><code>chunk</code> - 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.</li>
+<li><code>end</code> - 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.</li>
+<li><code>start</code> - A token corresponding to the start of chunk.</li>

+<p>The Delete Room admin API allows server admins to remove rooms from the server
+and block these rooms.</p>
+<p>Shuts down a room. Moves all local users and room aliases automatically to a
+new room if <code>new_room_user_id</code> is set. Otherwise local users only
+leave the room without any information.</p>
+<p>The new room will be created with the user specified by the <code>new_room_user_id</code> parameter
+as room administrator and will contain a message explaining what happened. Users invited
+to the new room will have power level <code>-10</code> by default, and thus be unable to speak.</p>
+<p>If <code>block</code> is <code>true</code>, users will be prevented from joining the old room.
+This option can in <a href="#version-1-old-version">Version 1</a> 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 <code>block</code> is <code>false</code>, attempting to
+delete an unknown room is invalid and will be rejected as a bad request.</p>
+<p>This API will remove all trace of the old room from your database after removing
+all local users. If <code>purge</code> is <code>true</code> (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 <code>purge</code> to <code>false</code>.
+Depending on the amount of history being purged, a call to the API may take
+several minutes or longer.</p>
+<p>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.</p>
+<h2 id="version-1-old-version"><a class="header" href="#version-1-old-version">Version 1 (old version)</a></h2>
+<p>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.

+original room was shut down. Defaults to <code>Sharing illegal content on this server is not permitted and rooms in violation will be blocked.</code></li>
+<li><code>block</code> - Optional. If set to <code>true</code>, 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
+<a href="#version-1-old-version">Version 1</a> of the API). Defaults to <code>false</code>.</li>

+Defaults to <code>true</code>.</li>
+<li><code>force_purge</code> - Optional, and ignored unless <code>purge</code> is <code>true</code>. If set to <code>true</code>, it
+will force a purge to go ahead even if there are local users still in the room. Do not

+<h2 id="undoing-room-deletions"><a class="header" href="#undoing-room-deletions">Undoing room deletions</a></h2>
+<p><em>Note</em>: 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.</p>
+<p>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:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>If the room was invite-only, your users will need to be re-invited.</li>
+<li>If the room no longer has any members at all, it'll be impossible to rejoin.</li>
+<li>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).</li>
+</ul>
+<p>With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>
+<p>If the room was <code>block</code>ed, you must unblock it on your server. This can be
+accomplished as follows:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>For safety reasons, shut down Synapse.</li>
+<li>In the database, run <code>DELETE FROM blocked_rooms WHERE room_id = '!example:example.org';</code>
+<ul>
+<li>For caution: it's recommended to run this in a transaction: <code>BEGIN; DELETE ...;</code>, verify you got 1 result, then <code>COMMIT;</code>.</li>
+<li>The room ID is the same one supplied to the delete room API, not the Content Violation room.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Restart Synapse.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>This step is unnecessary if <code>block</code> was not set.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>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.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>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 <a href="room_membership.html">Edit Room Membership API</a>) or let
+them handle rejoining themselves.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>If <code>new_room_user_id</code> was given, a 'Content Violation' will have been
+created. Consider whether you want to delete that roomm.</p>
