Response

Example response(s)

Changes: As of Zulip 7.0 (feature level 167), if any parameters sent in the request are not supported by this endpoint, a successful JSON response will include an ignored_parameters_unsupported array.

A typical successful JSON response may look like:

{
    "msg": "",
    "result": "success"
}

A typical failed JSON response for invalid parameters.

{
    "code": "BAD_REQUEST",
    "msg": "Built-in views cannot have a custom name",
    "result": "error"
}

A typical failed JSON response when no navigation view exists with the provided fragment:

{
    "code": "NOT_FOUND",
    "msg": "Navigation view does not exist.",
    "result": "error"
}
