Account validity API
====================

This API allows a server administrator to manage the validity of an account. To
use it, you must enable the account validity feature (under
``account_validity``) in Synapse's configuration.

Renew account
-------------

This API extends the validity of an account by as much time as configured in the
``period`` parameter from the ``account_validity`` configuration.

The API is::

    POST /_matrix/client/unstable/admin/account_validity/validity

with the following body:

.. code:: json

    {
        "user_id": "<user ID for the account to renew>",
        "expiration_ts": 0,
        "enable_renewal_emails": true
    }


``expiration_ts`` is an optional parameter and overrides the expiration date,
which otherwise defaults to now + validity period.

``enable_renewal_emails`` is also an optional parameter and enables/disables
sending renewal emails to the user. Defaults to true.

The API returns with the new expiration date for this account, as a timestamp in
milliseconds since epoch:

.. code:: json

    {
        "expiration_ts": 0
    }
