Configuring Chat API

Preview: This a preview feature, and remains a work in progress. The following content may be subject to change before full release. If you have any questions regarding this preview feature, please direct them to our support team.

We now need to configure the ChatAPI settings.

To configure ChatAPI:

1. With the above steps completed, you get a 'ChatAPI' subfolder (typically within C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ChatAPI).

   Note: For a multi API system you get a ChatAPI subfolder at wwwroot/{your_system_name}/ChatApi.
   

2. Run the ChatAPIConfigurator.exe as an administrator, or open it via the Orbit Updater Configurator.

3. Also, open up the OrbitAPIConfigurator.exe and the Orbit Updater Configuration.exe to copy some settings from the OrbitAPI configuration into the ChatAPI configuration.

   Tip: Copying this text is easier with a side-by-side comparison.

4. Copy the Base URL from the API settings in the FastStats Orbit Updater Configuration into the Orbit API URL setting on the Orbit API tab within the ChatAPI Configuration.

5. Copy the JWT issuer options from the OrbitAPI configuration into the JWT issuer options in the ChatAPI configuration.

6. Copy the CORS options settings from the OrbitAPI configuration to the ChatAPI configuration.

7. If the Data View needs amending, then select this tab and set the Data View name to match the Data View name in the OrbitAPI configuration.

8. Configure the following connection string and settings:

   • Orbit database

   • FastStats system database

9. Ensure the DataView service has the correct System name.

10. Select Save from the File menu in the ChatAPI configurator.
