Connecting

Your client makes a API key in their Stream Chat settings and pastes it on their link. Operate As tries it with Stream Chat before saving it, and stores it encrypted. See Services connected with an API key.

Check they're connected

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPERATE_AS_API_KEY"

Pass-through

Paths continue from https://chat.stream-io-api.com. Your Operate As key goes in Authorization; the client's access is added for you.

See Pass-through requests for the full request and response format.

}

When access ends

A key works until your client deletes it in Stream Chat. They can paste a new one on the same link at any time, and your workflows carry on without changes.

See Keeping access alive and Removing access.

Calls answer, once the key is deleted

  "status": 401,

    "…": "the service's own error"
  },

}
