Ask the bot instance a question

Deprecated since Strategy ONE (September 2025)

caution

The API has been deprecated and will be completely unavailable in the near future.

This deprecation is due to the introduction of our new Auto Agent technology, which replaces the legacy Auto Bot system. Legacy Auto Bot support will be gradually discontinued after Strategy One (September 2025).

This workflow sample demonstrates how to ask the bot instance a question.

info

Obtain the authorization token needed to execute the request using POST /api/auth/login.
