# AstrBot HTTP API
Starting from v4.18.0, AstrBot provides API Key based HTTP APIs for programmatic access.
## Quick Start
1. Create an API key in WebUI - Settings.
2. Include the API key in request headers:
```http
Authorization: Bearer abk_xxx
```
Also supported:
```http
X-API-Key: abk_xxx
```
3. For chat endpoints, `username` is required:
- `POST /api/v1/chat`: request body must include `username`
- `GET /api/v1/chat/sessions`: query params must include `username`
## Common Endpoints
- `POST /api/v1/chat`: send chat message (SSE stream, server generates UUID when `session_id` is omitted)
- `GET /api/v1/chat/sessions`: list sessions for a specific `username` with pagination
- `GET /api/v1/configs`: list available config files
- `POST /api/v1/file`: upload attachment
- `POST /api/v1/im/message`: proactive message via UMO
- `GET /api/v1/im/bots`: list bot/platform IDs
## Example
```bash
curl -N 'http://localhost:7860/api/v1/chat' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer abk_xxx' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"message":"Hello","username":"alice"}'
```
