# Zulip Events API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/zulip/events-api/  
**Provider:** Zulip — https://apis.io/providers/zulip/  
**Documentation:** https://zulip.com/api/get-events

Zulip Events API is one of 17 APIs that [Zulip](https://apis.io/providers/zulip/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification. Tagged areas include Event, Long Polling, Real-Time, and Team Chat. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an API reference, and an AsyncAPI specification.

The Zulip Events API delivers real-time updates from a Zulip server to a client via an HTTPS long-poll. Clients register an event queue via POST /api/v1/register, then call GET /api/v1/events with the returned queue_id and last_event_id to receive batches of typed events covering messages, reactions, subscriptions, presence, typing, channel/stream changes, user and organization updates, custom emoji, alert words, message-flag changes, drafts, scheduled messages, reminders, user groups, and system heartbeat/restart signals.
