Chat Thing

💡

The API Channel allows you to create custom integrations using your bot & allows you to integrate it into what ever you like. The possibilities are endless! We can’t wait to see what you build with this.

Creating the API channel

🚨

Before you start

The API integration is only available on Standard, Pro and Enterprise plans.

From the your bot dashboard, go to the Channels tab and enable the API channel by clicking its toggle switch.
In the setting window that appears, you’ll find your integrations secret key which you’ll need later. This should be kept private as it allows access to your bot via API.

API Documentation

Start a conversation

This endpoint is used to start a conversation and allows you to obtain a conversationId. Generally, you should start with this request, then you can use the conversationId in its response to continue the conversation if desired. This step is essential if you are planning on streaming responses through our API.

Request

POST /api/public/channels/{channelId}/1.0/conversation

Include the following headers in your request:

Content-Type: application/json
X-API-Secret-Key: {secretKey}

There is no request body for this request.

Example request:

curl --request POST \
--url https://chatthing.ai/api/public/channels/{channelId}/1.0/conversation \
--header 'X-API-Secret-Key: {secretKey}'

Response

The API response will include the following information:

success (boolean): Indicates whether the request was successful or not.
conversationId (string): The conversation identifier. This is used to continue the conversation in subsequent requests.
response (string): The response from the bot.

Example response:

{
  "success": true,
  "conversationId": "7bb301ad-e691-4341-8afb-b4407c4ffdf2",
  "response": "Hello, how can I help you?"
}

Status codes

200 OK: The request was successful
403 Forbidden: The provided api secret key does not match your channel or the wrong channel id was provided in the endpoint URL
404 Not Found: The channel id is incorrect or the channel is not enabled
500 Internal Server Error: An error occurred on the server

Send a one off message

This end point allows you to send a one off message to your bot, if you haven’t started a conversation, one will be created & the conversationId will be returned to you, just in case you wish to continue the conversation.

Request

POST /api/public/channels/{channelId}/1.0/message

Include the following headers in your request:

Content-Type: application/json
X-API-Secret-Key: {secretKey}

In the request body, provide the following parameters:

response (string): The message to the bot.

Example request:

curl --request POST \
--url https://chatthing.ai/api/public/channels/{channelId}/1.0/message \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-API-Secret-Key: {secretKey}' \
--data '{
  "message": "What is the distance to the moon?"
}'

Response

The API response will include the following information:

success (boolean): Indicates whether the request was successful or not.
conversationId (string): The conversation identifier. This is used to continue the conversation in subsequent requests.
response (string): The response from the bot.

Example response:

{
  "success": true,
  "conversationId": "ea74ba3d-6645-4a88-92d1-7f78b1f83688",
  "response": "The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers)."
}

Status codes

200 OK: The request was successful
400 Bad Request: The request was malformed or missing required fields

429 Too Many Requests: You may of run out of message credits or the ChatGPT API may be overloaded
500 Internal Server Error: An error occurred on the server

Continue a conversation

The same /message end point also allows you to continue an existing conversation. Providing a conversationId gives your bot access to earlier messages in a given conversation helping it to better serve your users.

Request

POST /api/public/channels/{channelId}/1.0/message

Include the following headers in your request:

Content-Type: application/json
X-API-Secret-Key: {secretKey}

In the request body, provide the following parameters:

conversationId (string): The conversation identifier. This is used to continue the conversation in subsequent requests.
message (string): The message to the bot.

Example request:

curl --request POST \
--url https://chatthing.ai/api/public/channels/{channelId}/1.0/message \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-API-Secret-Key: {secretKey}' \
--data '{
    "conversationId": "ea74ba3d-6645-4a88-92d1-7f78b1f83688",
    "message": "How close does it get to Earth?"
}'

Response

The API response will include the following information:

success (boolean): Indicates whether the request was successful or not.
conversationId (string): The conversation identifier. This is used to continue the conversation in subsequent requests.
response (string): The response from the bot.

{
  "success": true,
  "conversationId": "ea74ba3d-6645-4a88-92d1-7f78b1f83688",
  "response": "The distance between the Earth and the Moon varies throughout the month and year due to the Moon's elliptical orbit. The closest the Moon gets to Earth is about 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers) and the farthest it gets is about 251,000 miles (405,500 kilometers). This difference in distance is known as the lunar perigee and apogee, respectively."
}

Status codes

200 OK: The request was successful
400 Bad Request: The request was malformed or missing required fields
403 Forbidden: The provided api secret key does not match your channel or the wrong channel id was provided in the endpoint URL
404 Not Found: The channel id is incorrect or the channel is not enabled
429 Too Many Requests: You may of run out of message credits or the ChatGPT API may be overloaded
500 Internal Server Error: An error occurred on the server

Streaming message responses

The same /message endpoint also allows you to retrieve the bot's response as a stream. If anyone has used ChatGPT or one of our bots, you’ll notice the response is returned in chunks. This improves the initial response time since we don’t need to wait for the entire response before showing something to the user. Again, providing a conversationId gives your bot access to earlier messages in a given conversation, helping it to better serve your users.

This stream flag will cause our API to return partial message deltas.

Request

POST /api/public/channels/{channelId}/1.0/message

Include the following headers in your request:

Content-Type: application/json
X-API-Secret-Key: {secretKey}

In the request body, provide the following parameters:

conversationId (string, optional): The conversation identifier. This is used to continue an existing conversation.
message (string): The message to the bot.
stream (boolean, optional): A flag to indicate you are expecting the response to be returned via a stream.

Example request:

curl --request POST \
--url https://chatthing.ai/api/public/channels/{channelId}/1.0/message \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-API-Secret-Key: {secretKey}' \
--data '{
    "message": "What is the distance to the moon?",
    "stream": true
}'

Stream handling logic

The following example should hopefully get you up and running, or at least provide the basis for how you might approach processing the message stream response from our API.

fetch(`/api/public/channels/channelId/1.0/message`, {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-API-Secret-Key": 'secretKey',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    message,
    stream: true,
  }),
}).then(async (response) => {
  if (response.ok && response?.body) {
    const reader = response.body.getReader();
    const decoder = new TextDecoder("utf-8");

    while (true) {
      const { done, value } = await reader.read();
      if (done) {
        break;
      }
      // massage and parse the chunk of data
      const chunk = decoder.decode(value);
      const lines = chunk.split("\n");
      const parsedLines = lines
        .map((line) => line.replace(/^data: /, "").trim()) // Remove the "data: " prefix
        .filter((line) => line !== "" && line !== "[DONE]") // Remove empty lines and "[DONE]"
        .map((line) => JSON.parse(line)); // Parse the JSON string

      for (const parsedLine of parsedLines) {
        const { choices } = parsedLine;
        const { delta } = choices[0];
        const { content } = delta;
        if (content) {
          console.log(content);
        }
      }
    }
  }
});
