Enterprise actively sends offline message API

API Declaration

The "token" param must be contained in the header of the https request when calling the API.

Token is the only global API call credential for the Sobot API open platform. It is used when developers call the business APIs and thus should be properly kept. At least 32 chars should be reserved to store token. The validity period of token is currently 24 hours. It needs to be refreshed regularly or reacquired according to the token failure prompt returned by the API. When requesting the token API, regardless of the existence of token, a new token will be returned and its expiry time will be reset (currently 24 hours).

Token usage description:

1. Developers need to obtain and manage the token uniformly. When calling the Sobot open APIs of various business, they should use the same token, instead of refreshing and obtaining new tokens for each business. Otherwise, it will easily lead to token invalidation and affect the normal API call.
2. The current validity period of the token is transmitted by the returned expire_in, which is currently a value within 86,400 s. Developers need to refresh the new token in advance based on this valid time.
3. Developers should reacquire the token according to the token invalidation prompt returned by the API.
