+# Spam checker callbacks
+
+Spam checker callbacks allow module developers to implement spam mitigation actions for
+Synapse instances. Spam checker callbacks can be registered using the module API's
+`register_spam_checker_callbacks` method.
+
+## Callbacks
+
+The available spam checker callbacks are:
+
+### `check_event_for_spam`
+
+```python
+async def check_event_for_spam(event: "synapse.events.EventBase") -> Union[bool, str]
+```
+
+Called when receiving an event from a client or via federation. The module can return
+either a `bool` to indicate whether the event must be rejected because of spam, or a `str`
+to indicate the event must be rejected because of spam and to give a rejection reason to
+forward to clients.
+
+### `user_may_join_room`
+
+```python
+async def user_may_join_room(user: str, room: str, is_invited: bool) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when a user is trying to join a room. The module must return a `bool` to indicate
+whether the user can join the room. The user is represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g.
+`@alice:example.com`) and the room is represented by its Matrix ID (e.g.
+`!room:example.com`). The module is also given a boolean to indicate whether the user
+currently has a pending invite in the room.
+
+This callback isn't called if the join is performed by a server administrator, or in the
+context of a room creation.
+
+### `user_may_invite`
+
+```python
+async def user_may_invite(inviter: str, invitee: str, room_id: str) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when processing an invitation. The module must return a `bool` indicating whether
+the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room. Both inviter and invitee are
+represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. `@alice:example.com`).
+
+### `user_may_send_3pid_invite`
+
+```python
+async def user_may_send_3pid_invite(
+    inviter: str,
+    medium: str,
+    address: str,
+    room_id: str,
+) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when processing an invitation using a third-party identifier (also called a 3PID,
+e.g. an email address or a phone number). The module must return a `bool` indicating
+whether the inviter can invite the invitee to the given room.
+
+The inviter is represented by their Matrix user ID (e.g. `@alice:example.com`), and the
+invitee is represented by its medium (e.g. "email") and its address
+(e.g. `alice@example.com`). See [the Matrix specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#pid-types)
+for more information regarding third-party identifiers.
+
+For example, a call to this callback to send an invitation to the email address
+`alice@example.com` would look like this:
+
+```python
+await user_may_send_3pid_invite(
+    "@bob:example.com",  # The inviter's user ID
+    "email",  # The medium of the 3PID to invite
+    "[email protected]",  # The address of the 3PID to invite
+    "!some_room:example.com",  # The ID of the room to send the invite into
+)
+```
+
+**Note**: If the third-party identifier is already associated with a matrix user ID,
+[`user_may_invite`](#user_may_invite) will be used instead.
+
+### `user_may_create_room`
+
+```python
+async def user_may_create_room(user: str) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when processing a room creation request. The module must return a `bool` indicating
+whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed to create a room.
+
+### `user_may_create_room_with_invites`
+
+```python
+async def user_may_create_room_with_invites(
+    user: str,
+    invites: List[str],
+    threepid_invites: List[Dict[str, str]],
+) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when processing a room creation request (right after `user_may_create_room`).
+The module is given the Matrix user ID of the user trying to create a room, as well as a
+list of Matrix users to invite and a list of third-party identifiers (3PID, e.g. email
+addresses) to invite.
+
+An invited Matrix user to invite is represented by their Matrix user IDs, and an invited
+3PIDs is represented by a dict that includes the 3PID medium (e.g. "email") through its
+`medium` key and its address (e.g. "[email protected]") through its `address` key.
+
+See [the Matrix specification](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/appendices#pid-types) for more
+information regarding third-party identifiers.
+
+If no invite and/or 3PID invite were specified in the room creation request, the
+corresponding list(s) will be empty.
+
+**Note**: This callback is not called when a room is cloned (e.g. during a room upgrade)
+since no invites are sent when cloning a room. To cover this case, modules also need to
+implement `user_may_create_room`.
+
+### `user_may_create_room_alias`
+
+```python
+async def user_may_create_room_alias(user: str, room_alias: "synapse.types.RoomAlias") -> bool
+```
+
+Called when trying to associate an alias with an existing room. The module must return a
+`bool` indicating whether the given user (represented by their Matrix user ID) is allowed
+to set the given alias.
+
+### `user_may_publish_room`
+
+```python
+async def user_may_publish_room(user: str, room_id: str) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when trying to publish a room to the homeserver's public rooms directory. The
+module must return a `bool` indicating whether the given user (represented by their
+Matrix user ID) is allowed to publish the given room.
+
+### `check_username_for_spam`
+
+```python
+async def check_username_for_spam(user_profile: Dict[str, str]) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when computing search results in the user directory. The module must return a
+`bool` indicating whether the given user profile can appear in search results. The profile
+is represented as a dictionary with the following keys:
+
+* `user_id`: The Matrix ID for this user.
+* `display_name`: The user's display name.
+* `avatar_url`: The `mxc://` URL to the user's avatar.
+
+The module is given a copy of the original dictionary, so modifying it from within the
+module cannot modify a user's profile when included in user directory search results.
+
+### `check_registration_for_spam`
+
+```python
+async def check_registration_for_spam(
+    email_threepid: Optional[dict],
+    username: Optional[str],
+    request_info: Collection[Tuple[str, str]],
+    auth_provider_id: Optional[str] = None,
+) -> "synapse.spam_checker_api.RegistrationBehaviour"
+```
+
+Called when registering a new user. The module must return a `RegistrationBehaviour`
+indicating whether the registration can go through or must be denied, or whether the user
+may be allowed to register but will be shadow banned.
+
+The arguments passed to this callback are:
+
+* `email_threepid`: The email address used for registering, if any.
+* `username`: The username the user would like to register. Can be `None`, meaning that
+  Synapse will generate one later.
+* `request_info`: A collection of tuples, which first item is a user agent, and which
+  second item is an IP address. These user agents and IP addresses are the ones that were
+  used during the registration process.
+* `auth_provider_id`: The identifier of the SSO authentication provider, if any.
+
+### `check_media_file_for_spam`
+
+```python
+async def check_media_file_for_spam(
+    file_wrapper: "synapse.rest.media.v1.media_storage.ReadableFileWrapper",
+    file_info: "synapse.rest.media.v1._base.FileInfo",
+) -> bool
+```
+
+Called when storing a local or remote file. The module must return a boolean indicating
+whether the given file can be stored in the homeserver's media store.
+
+## Example
+
+The example below is a module that implements the spam checker callback
+`check_event_for_spam` to deny any message sent by users whose Matrix user IDs are
+mentioned in a configured list, and registers a web resource to the path
+`/_synapse/client/list_spam_checker/is_evil` that returns a JSON object indicating
+whether the provided user appears in that list.
+
+```python
+import json
+from typing import Union
+
+from twisted.web.resource import Resource
+from twisted.web.server import Request
+
+from synapse.module_api import ModuleApi
+
+
+class IsUserEvilResource(Resource):
+    def __init__(self, config):
+        super(IsUserEvilResource, self).__init__()
+        self.evil_users = config.get("evil_users") or []
+
+    def render_GET(self, request: Request):
+        user = request.args.get(b"user")[0].decode()
+        request.setHeader(b"Content-Type", b"application/json")
+        return json.dumps({"evil": user in self.evil_users}).encode()
+
+
+class ListSpamChecker:
+    def __init__(self, config: dict, api: ModuleApi):
+        self.api = api
+        self.evil_users = config.get("evil_users") or []
+
+        self.api.register_spam_checker_callbacks(
+            check_event_for_spam=self.check_event_for_spam,
+        )
+
+        self.api.register_web_resource(
+            path="/_synapse/client/list_spam_checker/is_evil",
+            resource=IsUserEvilResource(config),
+        )
+
+    async def check_event_for_spam(self, event: "synapse.events.EventBase") -> Union[bool, str]:
+        return event.sender not in self.evil_users
+```
