# Chat with the Agent over project, org, or Open Library knowledge

POST https://api.pyramid-ai.com/api/v2/chat
Content-Type: application/json

Multi-turn conversational endpoint. Supports both synchronous JSON
responses and server-sent event (SSE) streaming via `stream: true`.

`search_scope` picks the corpus: `project` (`project_id` required),
`org` (the org's own documents), or `open_library` (the shared Open
Library corpus — requires the `api.open_library` feature and cannot be
combined with `chat_type`). When omitted, the scope is derived from
`project_id` presence. Scope is per-request: multi-turn Open Library
conversations re-send it with each request.

`chat_type` picks the agent: `general`/`project` (org or project
knowledge) or `safety` (the shared safety corpus — requires the
Safety Assistant to be enabled for the organization via Agent
Allocation, otherwise 403 AGENT_NOT_ENABLED). When omitted, the
agent is inferred from the message among the agents enabled for the
organization.

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Pyramid API key (prefix with "Bearer ")

## Servers

- `https://api.pyramid-ai.com` (Production, default)
- `https://api-staging.pyramid-ai.com` (Staging (sandbox) — use pai_test_* keys)

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `messages` (list of ApiV2ChatPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaMessagesItems, required)
- `project_id` (string, optional)
- `chat_id` (string, optional)
- `chat_type` (enum, optional)
  - Allowed values: `general`, `project`, `safety`
- `model` (enum, optional)
  - Allowed values: `chat-model`, `chat-model-reasoning`
- `stream` (boolean, optional, default: false)
- `search_scope` (enum, optional) — Which corpus the query searches. Exclusive — one request searches one corpus. - `project` — the given project's document chunks (`project_id` required). - `org` — the organization's own org-level documents (`project_id` must be omitted). - `open_library` — the shared Open Library corpus of Hong Kong government engineering documents (`project_id` must be omitted). Requires the `api.open_library` feature to be enabled for your organization. When omitted, the scope is derived for backward compatibility: `project` when `project_id` is present, `org` otherwise.
  - Allowed values: `project`, `org`, `open_library`

## Response

### 200

Chat response (JSON when stream=false, SSE when stream=true)

- `request_id` (string, required) — Server-generated per-request UUID. Also sent as `X-Request-Id` response header. Include in support tickets.
- `success` (any, required)
- `data` (ApiV2ChatPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData, optional)
- `pagination` (Pagination, optional) — Present only on list endpoints. Top-level (not nested inside `data`).

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Validation error

- `success` (any, required)
- `error` (ApiErrorError, required)
- `request_id` (string, required)

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized

- `success` (any, required)
- `error` (ApiErrorError, required)
- `request_id` (string, required)

### 403 Forbidden Error

AGENT_NOT_ENABLED — the requested chat_type is a gated agent (e.g. safety) that is not enabled for this organization

- `success` (any, required)
- `error` (ApiErrorError, required)
- `request_id` (string, required)

## Types

### ApiV2ChatPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaMessagesItems

- `role` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `user`, `assistant`, `system`
- `content` (ApiV2ChatPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaMessagesItemsContent, required)

### ApiV2ChatPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaData

- `chat_id` (string, optional)
- `message` (ApiV2ChatPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataMessage, optional)
- `sources` (list of ApiV2ChatPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataSourcesItems, optional)
- `usage` (ApiV2ChatPostResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaDataUsage, optional)

### Pagination

Offset-based pagination for list endpoints. Clients compute `has_more` from `offset + data.length < total`. Cursor pagination may be added per-endpoint later if deep-pagination performance becomes a concern.

- `total` (integer, required) — Total item count matching the filters (ignoring limit/offset).
- `offset` (integer, required)
- `limit` (integer, required, default: 50)

### ApiErrorError

- `code` (enum, required)
  - Allowed values: `VALIDATION_ERROR`, `UNAUTHORIZED`, `FORBIDDEN`, `FEATURE_NOT_ENABLED`, `AGENT_NOT_ENABLED`, `QUOTA_EXCEEDED`, `NOT_FOUND`, `CONFLICT`, `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_REUSED`, `IDEMPOTENCY_IN_PROGRESS`, `UPLOAD_NOT_FOUND`, `UPLOAD_SIZE_MISMATCH`, `RATE_LIMITED`, `INTERNAL_ERROR`
- `message` (string, required) — Human-readable description. May be shown to end users; keep stable across minor changes.
- `docs_url` (string, optional) — Link to the error's documentation section.
- `field` (string, optional) — Only for `VALIDATION_ERROR`. JSONPath-ish reference to the offending field (e.g. `body.project_id`).
- `feature` (string, optional) — Only for `FEATURE_NOT_ENABLED`. The feature key the request required.
