Topics (group chats/channels/conversations)

Add a label to a topic

Add a label to an existing topic. Labels are defined per organization — use GET /v2/organization/labels to discover the available label IDs.

Authorization: Your API key bot must be a member of the topic (returns 404 if not).

Validation:

  • labelId must be a valid UUID belonging to your organization (returns 400 "Invalid labelId" otherwise)
  • A topic can carry at most 1 label (returns 400 if the cap is exceeded)

Behavior: Idempotent — re-adding a label already on the topic returns the current state.

Request

Path parameters

topicIdstring uuid required

The ID of the topic to add a label to

Headers

X-Signaturestring
Example:a3d5f8e7c2b1d4f6a8e9c7b5d3f1a2e4b6c8d0f2e4a6b8c0d2e4f6a8b0c2d4e6

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:

  1. Get the current Unix timestamp in milliseconds
  2. 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)
  3. Calculate HMAC-SHA256 of the combined payload using your API secret
  4. Hex-encode the output
  5. 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.

X-Timestampinteger
Example:1699564800000

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.
