Not able to use Talk API

ā„¹ļø Support šŸ’¬ Talk (spreed)
1

Hi, I am new with nextcloud and I would like to use the Talk API but I am totally messed up with the way it works, tried many things but impossible to find a wayā€¦

For instance to get conversation it is mentionned :

Base endpoint is: /ocs/v2.php/apps/spreed/api/v1
Method: GET
Endpoint: /chat/{token}

If I have my nexcloud on my unraid on http://192.168.1.66:8666, does it mean I should use : http://192.168.1.66:8666/ocs/v2.php/apps/spreed/api/v1/chat/{token}
(https://nextcloud-talk.readthedocs.io/en/turn_doc/chat/#chat-api)
Right ?

Where I can find the token and the chat id ?

Thanks a lot for help.

Each conversation has a token. It is generated/returned when the conversation is created: https://nextcloud-talk.readthedocs.io/en/turn_doc/conversation/#creating-a-new-conversation. You can also see it as part of the URL when you enter a conversation in the browser.

Not sure what you mean by chat id?!

take a look here for some discussions and references:

Thanks for the token. Forget about chat id I mixed up with another API. Thx

Thanks for help. Tried everything prensnted in these post but no lockā€¦
is https mandatory because my currently in am with http as shown in my first post ?
Thanks

Can you post the complete request you are sending? Also it makes sense to look at what the browser sends when using the talk app :slight_smile:

Thanks again for your timeā€¦
Tried many things but this is an example
Tried to insert a picture but it does not work
This is the postman request:

	},
	"item": [

You didnā€™t add any parameters to your request. I think lookIntoFuture is not optional here.

What are you trying to achieve in the end?

9

Add this to body but nothing better, is https mandatory ?

{
ā€œlookIntoFutureā€: 0
}

I would like to use Talk like a clipboard between my iphone, ipad, and pcā€™sā€¦

No, I donā€™t think so.

So I tried your request, added lookIntoFuture=0 (as a query param!), added basic auth with my login and ran the request, worked perfectly.

Postman:

{
	"info": {
		"_postman_id": "c7ca79c1-a0c4-4f75-81f3-3c71f2d23c6e",
		"name": "Talk",
		"schema": "https://schema.getpostman.com/json/collection/v2.1.0/collection.json"
	},
	"item": [
		{
			"name": "Get Chat",
			"request": {
				"auth": {
					"type": "basic",
					"basic": [
						{
							"key": "password",
							"value": "password",
							"type": "string"
						},
						{
							"key": "username",
							"value": "username",
							"type": "string"
						}
					]
				},
				"method": "GET",
				"header": [
					{
						"key": "Accept",
						"value": "application/json",
						"type": "text"
					},
					{
						"key": "Content-Type",
						"value": "application/json",
						"type": "text"
					},
					{
						"key": "OCS-APIRequest",
						"value": "true",
						"type": "text"
					}
				],
				"url": {
					"raw": "http://<yourhost>/ocs/v2.php/apps/spreed/api/v1/chat/<token>?lookIntoFuture=0",
					"protocol": "http",
					"host": [
						"<yourhost>"
					],
					"path": [
						"ocs",
						"v2.php",
						"apps",
						"spreed",
						"api",
						"v1",
						"chat",
						"<token>"
					],
					"query": [
						{
							"key": "lookIntoFuture",
							"value": "0"
						}
					]
				}
			},
			"response": []
		}
	]

You are brilliant and I am dumb! I did not use basic authā€¦, thatā€™s better with user/passwordā€¦

12

Last question, I did not find a download command to download attached documentsā€¦ did I miss something? thx again

13

Well you did not miss it, itā€™s not there ;-). When a file is shared, you get the corresponding parameters (ID, link, etc) in the messageParameters object (see Rich Object String in the Talk docu/ Nextcloud Rich Object Strings Ā· Issue #1706 Ā· nextcloud/server Ā· GitHub). You can use WebDAV then to download the file. Or maybe https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/developer_manual/client_apis/OCS/ocs-api-overview.html#direct-download helps you. But download itself is not part of Talk.

Again I can only recommend you to take a look at the requests a browser does, that helps alot.

Thanks! I will see that.
