Install the SDK

Add the OpenBat SDK to your project:
npm install openbat
Then set your API key as an environment variable:
OPENBAT_API_KEY=ob_live_your_key_here
The SDK reads OPENBAT_API_KEY from your environment automatically, so you do not need to pass it in code.

Send your first message

Add a recordMessages call after your chatbot generates a response:
import { OpenBat } from 'openbat';

const client = new OpenBat();

await client.recordMessages({
  conversationId: "conv_123",
  messages: [
    { role: "user", content: "How do I reset my password?" },
    { role: "assistant", content: "Go to Settings > Account > Reset password." }
  ]
});
The SDK is fire-and-forget. It never throws errors or blocks your response pipeline.
Pass a message id field on each message to enable automatic deduplication. This lets you safely call recordMessages on every turn without inserting duplicates.
