# 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**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. Search term can be contained in any
 | 
						|
                  part of the room name. 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.
 | 
						|
* `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:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A standard request with no filtering:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
GET /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The response includes the following fields:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  "state": [
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
    {"type": "m.room.power_levels", "state_key": "", "etc": true},
 | 
						|
    {"type": "m.room.name", "state_key": "", "etc": true}
 | 
						|
  ]
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Delete Room API
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Delete Room admin API allows server admins to remove rooms from 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` it prevents new joins to the old room.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To use it, you will need to authenticate by providing an ``access_token`` for a
 | 
						|
server admin: see [Admin API](../usage/administration/admin_api).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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"
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**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. 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 `{}`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Response**
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following fields are returned in the JSON response body:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Undoing room shutdowns
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*Note*: This guide may be outdated by the time you read it. By nature of room shutdowns being performed at the database level,
 | 
						|
the structure can and does change without notice.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First, it's important to understand that a room shutdown is very destructive. Undoing a shutdown 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
With all that being said, if you still want to try and recover the room:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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 shutdown room API, not the Content Violation room.
 | 
						|
3. Restart Synapse.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You will have to manually handle, if you so choose, the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Aliases that would have been redirected to the Content Violation room.
 | 
						|
* Users that would have been booted from the room (and will have been force-joined to the Content Violation room).
 | 
						|
* Removal of the Content Violation room if desired.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Deprecated endpoint
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The previous deprecated API will be removed in a future release, it was:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
POST /_synapse/admin/v1/rooms/<room_id>/delete
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It behaves the same way than the current endpoint except the path and the method.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# 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.
