API reference for the Bot Framework Connector service
Note
The REST API isn't equivalent to the SDK. The REST API is provided to allow standard REST communication, however the preferred method of interacting with the Bot Framework is the SDK.
Within the Bot Framework, the Bot Connector service enables your bot to exchange messages with users on channels that are configured in the Bot Framework Portal. The service uses industry-standard REST and JSON over HTTPS.
Base URI
When a user sends a message to your bot, the incoming request contains an Activity object with a serviceUrl
property that specifies the endpoint to which your bot should send its response. To access the Bot Connector service, use the serviceUrl
value as the base URI for API requests.
When you don't already have a service URL for the channel, use https://smba.trafficmanager.net/teams/
as the service URL. For more information, see how to create a conversation and a proactive message in Teams.
For example, assume that your bot receives the following activity when the user sends a message to the bot.
{
"type": "message",
"id": "bf3cc9a2f5de...",
"timestamp": "2016-10-19T20:17:52.2891902Z",
"serviceUrl": "https://smba.trafficmanager.net/teams/",
"channelId": "channel's name/id",
"from": {
"id": "1234abcd",
"name": "user's name"
},
"conversation": {
"id": "abcd1234",
"name": "conversation's name"
},
"recipient": {
"id": "12345678",
"name": "bot's name"
},
"text": "Haircut on Saturday"
}
The serviceUrl
property within the user's message indicates that the bot should send its response to the endpoint https://smba.trafficmanager.net/teams/
. The service URL will be the base URI for any subsequent requests that the bot issues in the context of this conversation. If your bot will need to send a proactive message to the user, be sure to save the value of serviceUrl
.
The following example shows the request that the bot issues to respond to the user's message.
POST https://smba.trafficmanager.net/teams/v3/conversations/abcd1234/activities/bf3cc9a2f5de...
Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1Ni...
Content-Type: application/json
{
"type": "message",
"from": {
"id": "12345678",
"name": "bot's name"
},
"conversation": {
"id": "abcd1234",
"name": "conversation's name"
},
"recipient": {
"id": "1234abcd",
"name": "user's name"
},
"text": "I have several times available on Saturday!",
"replyToId": "bf3cc9a2f5de..."
}
Headers
Request headers
In addition to the standard HTTP request headers, every API request that you issue must include an Authorization
header that specifies an access token to authenticate your bot. Specify the Authorization
header using this format:
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN
For details about how to obtain an access token for your bot, see Authenticate requests from your bot to the Bot Connector service.
Response headers
In addition to the standard HTTP response headers, every response will contain an X-Correlating-OperationId
header. The value of this header is an ID that corresponds to the Bot Framework log entry, which contains details about the request. When you receive an error response, you should capture the value of this header. If you're not able to independently resolve the issue, include this value in the information that you provide to the Support team when you report the issue.
HTTP status codes
The HTTP status code that is returned with each response indicates the outcome of the corresponding request.
Note
The following table describes the most common HTTP status codes. Some errors are generated by the channel. For more information, you may need to read the channel's developer documentation.
HTTP status code | Meaning |
---|---|
200 | The request succeeded. |
201 | The request succeeded. |
202 | The request was accepted for processing. |
204 | The request succeeded but no content was returned. |
400 | The request was malformed or otherwise incorrect. |
401 | The bot isn't yet authenticated. |
403 | The bot isn't authorized to perform the requested operation. |
404 | The requested resource wasn't found. |
405 | The channel doesn't support the requested operation. |
500 | An internal server error occurred. |
503 | The service is temporarily unavailable. |
Errors
Any response that specifies an HTTP status code in the 4xx range or 5xx range will include an ErrorResponse object in the body of the response that provides information about the error. If you receive an error response in the 4xx range, inspect the ErrorResponse object to identify the cause of the error and resolve your issue prior to resubmitting the request.
Conversation operations
Use these operations to create conversations, send messages (activities), and manage the contents of conversations.
Important
Not all channels support all endpoints. However, all channels should support the reply to activity endpoint.
For example, only Direct Line and Web Chat support the get conversations endpoint.
