HTTP API Endpoint

The endpoint of Aimybox HTTP API is https://api.aimybox.com. Every request to the API should be sent to the one of supported resources.

Every request should contain Content-Type: application/json header in the case of POST request method.

Every response has a JSON format of the body.

/request

This resource processes the user's text or voice query through the particular project and returns the response from one of enabled voice skills of this project.

This resource accepts POST requests with the following body template

{ 
  "query": "Hello world", 
  "key": "vCfJsokYnKSkZJn4ymvWZwlZs93Wb", 
  "unit": "1568651666267",
  "data": {} 
}
