Introduction

What is the SkyLight Chat API?

The SkyLight Chat REST API gives developers full programmatic access to the SkyLight Chat platform. Using your client API key, you can:

• Manage contacts — create, search, tag, segment, and blacklist
• Send messages across WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram
• Manage bookings — create appointments, check availability, list resources
• Configure webhooks — receive real-time events for contacts, messages, bookings, and tickets
• Manage your team — create team members, set roles, update or remove them
• Read account details — subscription plan, channel connection status, usage limits

All endpoints live under:

https://dashboard.skylightchat.com/api/v1/

API versioning

The current stable version is v1. The version is part of the URL path (/api/v1/). When breaking changes are introduced, a new version will be published alongside the existing one with a deprecation notice.

Response format

All responses are JSON. Successful responses follow this structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { ... },
  "message": "Optional contextual message"
}

Paginated list responses include a meta object:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [ ... ],
  "meta": {
    "current_page": 1,
    "last_page": 4,
    "per_page": 15,
    "total": 58
  }
}

Error responses always include success: false:

{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Human-readable error description",
  "errors": { "field": ["Validation message"] }
}
