Response

Return values

• count: integer

  The number of drafts the user currently has. Also the number of drafts returned under "drafts".

• drafts: (object)[]

  Returns all of the current user's drafts, in order of last edit time (with the most recently edited draft appearing first).

  • id: integer

    The unique ID of the draft. It will only used whenever the drafts are fetched. This field should not be specified when the draft is being created or edited.

  • type: string

    The type of the draft. Either unaddressed (empty string), "stream", or "private" (for one-on-one and group direct messages).

  • to: (integer)[]

    An array of the tentative target audience IDs. For channel messages, this should contain exactly 1 ID, the ID of the target channel. For direct messages, this should be an array of target user IDs. For unaddressed drafts, this is ignored, and clients should send an empty array.

  • topic: string

    For channel message drafts, the tentative topic name. For direct or unaddressed messages, this will be ignored and should ideally be the empty string. Should not contain null bytes.

  • content: string

    The body of the draft. Should not contain null bytes.

  • timestamp: integer

    A Unix timestamp (seconds only) representing when the draft was last edited. When creating a draft, this key need not be present and it will be filled in automatically by the server.
