How to get user's current status?

[ilyamordasov]

The endpoint presence returns the activity of user. But how can I get user's status like away or active using the API?

@ilyamordasov you can get it from https://zulip.com/api/register-queue with user_status among fetch_event_types.

We could add a GET users/me/status endpoint if we had a clear use case for it; what do you have in mind?

@timabbott Thanks for your reply. It needs when we have several moderators of channel and if one of them is away the another one is subscribed automatically. And if the first one is active again we unsubscribe another one

@MSurfer20 do you want to add this, now that #19403 is merged? It seems like it should be pretty quick given what we already have.

I guess one note is that we probably want to write /users/{user_id}/status as the endpoint; it'd be reasonable to have a /users/me/status alias, but the general endpoint makes more sense, since users have read access to others' statuses.
