Hi botpress Cloud community!

I have successfully integrated my bot (created with botpress cloud) on my website and on Messenger.

But now, I want to use my own app, and I want to know how to send a message to my bot and get a response using rest API call:

Something like:

POST /v1/chat/webhook HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer bp_fffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Host: webhook.botpress.cloud
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 167

{
    "messages": [{"type": "text", "text": "How much is 2*6 ?"}]
}

I have all informations like, webhookUrl, x-bot-id, x-workspace-id, Bearer key, etc…
Thanks

Hi @ryan ,

Our APIs are currently in Beta, and we are enhancing the documentation and working on videos for it.
I am sure it will be easier for you to build it if you can wait two weeks.

What do you think?

We would appreciate even for some simple HTTP requests examples.

hey @robothr ,

First post :tada:

Can you tell me more about what you mean by simple HTTP examples?
Are you referring to Botpress API requests?

Yes, like this but for cloud:

curl 'http://localhost:3001/api/v1/bots/weather/mod/channel-web/messages?__ts=1625757442879' 
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*' 
-H 'Authorization: Bearer {{BEARER_TOKEN}}'

Which host, where is bot_id...

Hello @bassam.tantawi, do you have any updates regarding this request?

I have developed a customized chatbot and now I would like to send an API Rest request in order to utilize it within my own application. Is it possible to create a Postman request for interacting with my chatbot? Could you please guide me on how to proceed? I have been unable to locate any relevant information regarding this matter.
