Add a reaction to a message
Add an emoji reaction to a message. The bot must be a member of the channel.
This endpoint is idempotent per {messageId, bot, reaction}:
- Returns 201 when a new reaction is created
- Returns 200 when the same reaction already exists for this bot

Headers
HMAC signature of the request for authentication and replay protection.
Required only when authenticating with a static API key. If you are using an OAuth access token (issued by POST /oauth/token), omit this header — the JWT carries all the authentication and integrity guarantees.
Replay Protection: The signature includes a timestamp to prevent replay attacks. Requests with timestamps older than 5 minutes are rejected.
The signature payload differs by HTTP method:
- POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: HMAC-SHA256 of {timestamp}.{body}
- GET: HMAC-SHA256 of {timestamp}.{uri}
The signature is calculated as:
- Get the current Unix timestamp in milliseconds
- Determine the payload:
- For POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: Use {timestamp}.{body} where body is the request body
- For GET: Use {timestamp}.{uri} where uri is the full request URI (e.g., /v2/members?limit=10)
- Calculate HMAC-SHA256 of the combined payload using your API secret
- Hex-encode the output
- Include the timestamp in the X-Timestamp header
Example for GET request to /v2/members?limit=10:
timestamp = 1699564800000
payload = "1699564800000./v2/members?limit=10"
signature = HMAC-SHA256(secret, payload)
X-Signature: hex(signature)
X-Timestamp: 1699564800000
Example for POST request with body {"topicId":"123","text":"Hello"}:
timestamp = 1699564800000
payload = '1699564800000.{"topicId":"123","text":"Hello"}'
signature = HMAC-SHA256(secret, payload)
X-Signature: hex(signature)
X-Timestamp: 1699564800000
For multipart/form-data requests, sign the exact raw request body bytes (including boundaries and file bytes) as transmitted.
Unix timestamp in milliseconds when the request was created. Used for replay protection — requests older than 5 minutes are rejected.
Required only when authenticating with a static API key. Omit when using an OAuth access token.
