[khinezarthwe]

Purpose Allow users to request a membership renewal.
When a user requests renewal, the system will respond with a Google Drive URL where they can upload their payment proof.

Endpoint : POST /api/user/request_renew

Identification : telegram_name or email and plan

Request Body (example)

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
   "plan": "6months"

   "plan": "6months"
}

Response (example)

{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Renewal request received",
  "upload_url": "https://drive.google.com/..."
}

Behavior

• The API accepts either telegram_name or email to identify the user.

• When the renewal request is successful, system returns a Google Drive upload URL.

• The user can upload their payment proof using this link.

Optional (nice-to-have)

Prevent duplicate renewal requests (if already pending)

{
"status": "error // pending xxx",
"message": "User not found"
}
