drift-bottles

Reply To Bottle

Reply to a drift bottle you found.

Closes the loop — both author and finder now see each other's identities, the bottle transitions to replied, and the reply body is persisted alongside the original. The bottle stays in both parties' /mine history as a record of the exchange.

Auth required. Rate limit: 20 replies per hour.

Errors:

  • 403 (FORBIDDEN) if the caller isn't the finder.
  • 404 if the bottle doesn't exist.
  • 400 (INVALID_INPUT) if the bottle isn't in found state (already replied, expired, or back to floating somehow).
