# Api Get Ask Chat

`GET /api/apps/{app_id}/ask-chat`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.getdot.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://app.getdot.ai/api/apps/{app_id}/ask-chat`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-KEY`
  - API key in cookie `Authorization`
  - OAuth 2 (password, token URL `/api/auth/token`)

Find the current user's recent ask-mode chat about this app.

Ask chats are analysis conversations (no app editing) stamped with
`additional_metadata.app_context.dashboard_id`. Resume within 7 days
so a returning user continues their train of thought; older threads
are stale enough that a fresh chat is the better default.
Returns { chat_id } — null when none exists (same no-404 convention
as `/edit-chat`: "no chat yet" is normal, not a console error).

## Path parameters

- `app_id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- object

## Other responses

- `422`: Validation Error
