# HueChat API

> Everything your team does in the inbox, available over HTTP.

Conversations, messages, contacts, inboxes, teams, AI agents and their
knowledge, WhatsApp templates and broadcasts, workflows, chat menus and
webhooks. Every route is scoped to your own account.

## What it does

**The same data as the dashboard.** Anything an agent or admin can see or
change in HueChat can be read or changed here, with the same permissions.

**Two credentials.** A personal access token carries your full role. A scoped
API key (`hc_…`) carries only the scopes you grant, with its own rate limit,
IP allowlist and expiry. Use scoped keys for anything that ships.

**Signed webhooks.** Subscribe a URL to events and verify every delivery with
an HMAC-SHA256 signature.

**One base URL.**

## What it does not do

* Sign-up, billing and plan changes stay in the dashboard.
* Cross-account access: a scoped key belongs to one account. Requests to
  another account are denied.
* Operator and platform surfaces are not exposed.
