API reference - Bot Connector

APPLIES TO: SDK v3

Note

The REST API is not 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.

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/apis",
    "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/apis; this 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/apis/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. Any time that you receive an error response, you should capture the value of this header. If you are 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.

HTTP status code Meaning
200 The request succeeded.
201 The request succeeded.
202 The request has been accepted for processing.
204 The request succeeded but no content was returned.
400 The request was malformed or otherwise incorrect.
401 The bot is not authorized to make the request.
403 The bot is not allowed to perform the requested operation.
404 The requested resource was not found.
405 The channel does not support the requested operation.
500 An internal server error occurred.
503 The service is 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.

State operations (deprecated)

The Microsoft Bot Framework State service is retired as of March 30, 2018. Previously, bots built on the Azure Bot Service or the Bot Builder SDK had a default connection to this service hosted by Microsoft to store bot state data. Bots will need to be updated to use their own state storage.
