You can create your PAT (Personal Access Token) inside Developer Console. Just go to the section Tools > Personal Access Tokens and create a new PAT.

Next, use the key as your password.

GET Conversations from LiveChat

Use the LiveChat Conversations API endpoint. For example,

https://api.livechatinc.com/v3.5/agent/action/list_chats

Go to the 'Authorization' tab, select 'API Key' from the type dropdown. Enter your LiveChat API key.

{
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_LIVECHAT_API_KEY"
}

Go to the Headers section and add the KEY Content-Type and its VALUE application/json. and then structure the GET request

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.livechatinc.com/v3.5/agent/action/list_archives' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic XXXXX' \
--data-raw '{}'

POST responses to Dashbot

When your chat receives a message, post the data to the following endpoint:

https://tracker.dashbot.io/track?platform=universal&v=10.1.1-rest&type=incoming&apiKey=API_KEY_HERE

Make sure to set the ‘Content-Type’ header to ‘application/json’ and to replace API_KEY_HERE with your api key.

The data to POST should pass the following data:

{
  "text": "Hi, bot",
  "userId": "+14155551234",
  "platformJson": {
    "whateverJson": "any JSON specific to your platform can be stored here"
  }
}

Sample cURL

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"
     -d '{"text":"Hi, bot","userId":"+14155551234","platformJson":{"whateverJson":"any JSON specific to your platform can be stored here"}}'
     'https://tracker.dashbot.io/track?platform=sms&v=11.1.0-rest&type=incoming&apiKey=API_KEY'

Notice, you must replace the placeholder API_KEY_HERE above with your api key.
