User Profile
user_profile_get_blinded_msgreqs
Returns true if blinded message requests should be retrieved (from SOGS servers), false if they should be ignored.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
int— Will be -1 if the config does not have the value explicitly set, 0 if the setting is explicitly disabled, and 1 if the setting is explicitly enabled.
user_profile_get_name
Returns a pointer to the currently-set name (null-terminated), or NULL if there is no name at all. Should be copied right away as the pointer may not remain valid beyond other API calls.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
char*— Pointer to the currently-set name as a null-terminated string, or NULL if there is no name
user_profile_get_nts_expiry
Gets the Note-to-self message expiry timer (seconds). Returns 0 if not set.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
int— Returns the expiry timer in seconds. Returns 0 if not set
user_profile_get_nts_priority
Gets the current note-to-self priority level. Will be negative for hidden, 0 for unpinned, and > 0 for pinned (with higher value = higher priority).
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
int— Returns the priority level
user_profile_get_pic
Obtains the current profile pic. The pointers in the returned struct will be NULL if a profile pic is not currently set, and otherwise should be copied right away (they will not be valid beyond other API calls on this config object). The returned value will be the latest profile pic between when the user last set their profile and when it was last re-uploaded.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
user_profile_pic— Pointer to the currently-set profile pic
user_profile_get_pro_access_expiry
Retrieves the Session Pro access expiry unix timestamp if it has been set, this should generally be the expiry value returned from /get_pro_status.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
int64_t- The unix timestamp in seconds that the users pro access will expire, or 0 if unset.
user_profile_get_pro_auto_renewing
Returns whether the account's current Session Pro subscription is auto-renewing. Backend-derived
(the auto_renewing field on /get_pro_status); set alongside the access expiry.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
int— 1 if the subscription is known to be auto-renewing, otherwise 0 (terminal, unknown, or not Pro).
user_profile_get_pro_config
Get the Pro data for the user profile if it exists which includes the users rotating private key and their last authorised proof.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config objectpro— [out] Pointer to the pro object where the retrieved details are written
Returns
bool— True if the user profile had Pro data associated with it. Otherwise false and the pro structure will remain untouched.
user_profile_get_pro_features
Retrieves the bitset indicating which pro features the user currently has enabled.
Declaration
LIBSESSION_EXPORT session_protocol_pro_profile_bitset
user_profile_get_pro_features(const config_object* conf);
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
session_protocol_pro_profile_bitset- bitset indicating which profile features are enabled.
user_profile_get_pro_grace_period
Returns the account's grace period in seconds (get_pro_status.grace_period_duration), or 0 if
none is stored. Backend-derived and synced alongside the access expiry, so any linked device can
compute when coverage actually ends: access_expiry + grace_period. The access expiry is the
payment-due date — the instant the term was paid through — and [E, E + G) is the window
where the payment is overdue but service continues.
There is deliberately no companion presence check: the backend sends 0 whenever the
subscription is not auto-renewing, so "unset" and "zero" describe the same account and both give
expiry + 0 == expiry.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
int64_t— the grace period in seconds, or 0 if unset.
user_profile_get_pro_prepaid
Retrieves the timestamp at which a Session Pro purchase was initiated (the "purchase in flight" marker), synced across the user's devices. A stored value more than a week in the past is ignored (returns 0).
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
int64_t- the unix timestamp (seconds) at which a purchase was initiated, or 0 if none is pending (or the stored value is stale).
user_profile_get_pro_renewal_target
Decide when to (re)request a Session Pro proof (see the C++ pro_renewal_target). Given now,
returns the unix timestamp (seconds) at which a renewal should be attempted — renew now if it
is <= now, otherwise schedule for then — or 0 if no renewal is needed.
Declaration
LIBSESSION_EXPORT int64_t
user_profile_get_pro_renewal_target(const config_object* conf, int64_t now);
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config objectnow— the caller's current unix timestamp (seconds)
Returns
int64_t- the renewal-target unix timestamp, or 0 for "no renewal needed".
user_profile_get_profile_updated
Returns the timestamp that the user last updated their profile information; or 0 if it's
never been updated. This value will return the latest timestamp between when the user last
set their profile and when it was last re-uploaded.
Declaration
Parameters
This endpoint takes no inputs.
Returns
int64_t- timestamp (unix seconds) that the user last updated their public profile information. Will be0if it's never been updated.
user_profile_get_refund_requested
Retrieves the timestamp at which the user requested a refund of their current Session Pro subscription. This state is synced across the user's devices via config (not the Pro backend). A stored value more than a week in the past is ignored (returns 0).
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
int64_t- the unix timestamp (seconds) at which a refund was requested, or 0 if no refund has been requested (or the stored value is stale).
user_profile_init
Constructs a user profile config object and sets a pointer to it in conf.
When done with the object the config_object must be destroyed by passing the pointer to
config_free() (in session/config/base.h).
Declaration
INT user_profile_init(
[out] config_object** conf,
[in] const unsigned char* ed25519_secretkey,
[in] const unsigned char* dump,
[in] size_t dumplen,
[out] char* error
);
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config objected25519_secretkey— [in] must be the 32-byte secret key seed value. (You can also pass the pointer to the beginning of the 64-byte value libsodium calls the "secret key" as the first 32 bytes of that are the seed). This field cannot be null.dump— [in] if non-NULL this restores the state from the dumped byte string produced by a past instantiation's call todump(). To construct a new, empty profile this should be NULL.dumplen— [in] the length ofdumpwhen restoring from a dump, or 0 whendumpis NULL.error— [out] the pointer to a buffer in which we will write an error string if an error occurs; error messages are discarded if this is given as NULL. If non-NULL this must be a buffer of at least 256 bytes.
Returns
int— Returns 0 on success; returns a non-zero error code and write the exception message as a C-string intoerror(if not NULL) on failure.
user_profile_remove_pro_config
Remove the Session Pro components from the user profile.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config object
Returns
bool- A flag indicating whether the config had Session Pro components which were removed.
user_profile_set_animated_avatar
Updates the bitset to specify whether the user has an animated profile picture, should be set when uploading a profile picture. Note: This doesn't prevent a users profile picture from animating, it's just a way to more easily synchronise the state between devices when sending messages so we don't need the device to have successfully download the current display picture in order to be able to determine this.
Declaration
Parameters
conf— [in] Pointer to the config objectenabled— Flag which specifies whether the users display picture is animated or not.
Returns
user_profile_set_blinded_msgreqs
Sets whether blinded message requests should be retrieved from SOGS servers. Set to 1 (or any positive value) to enable; 0 to disable; and -1 to clear the setting.

Declaration
Parameters

Returns
int— Returns 0 on success, non-zero on error
user_profile_set_nts_expiry
Sets the Note-to-self message expiry timer (seconds). Setting 0 (or negative) will clear the current timer.
Declaration
Parameters
