Quickstart - Conversations & Messages

1) Create a conversation for a user

curl -X POST https://api.mielto.com/api/v1/conversations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "user_id": "your-user-id",
    "title": "Onboarding conversation"
  }'

The response includes id (e.g., conv_01234567890abcdef). Use this as conversation_id for messages.

2) Upload existing messages

You can post messages to https://api.mielto.com/api/v1/messages.

Include either Authorization: Bearer {apikey} or x-api-key: {apikey} and a body with messages in the content field:

[
  {
    "role": "user",
    "created_at": "2025-06-10T10:28:06.658Z",
    "sender_id": "326166736",
    "content": "message"
  },
  {
    "role": "assistant",
    "created_at": "2025-06-10T10:28:11.64Z",
    "sender_id": "326166736",
    "content": "message body"
  }
]

How conversation_id works:

1. Required in practice: although optional in some schemas, provide conversation_id when creating messages.
2. Flow:
   • API receives conversation_id in the create payload
   • The handler assigns this conversation_id to each created message

Example API requests:

curl -X POST https://api.mielto.com/api/v1/messages \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "conversation_id": "conv_01234567890abcdef",
    "content": {
      "content": "Hello, how are you?",
      "role": "user",
      "message_type": "text"
    },
    "enable_memories": false
  }'

Or with multiple messages:

curl -X POST https://api.mielto.com/api/v1/messages \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "conversation_id": "conv_01234567890abcdef",
    "content": [
      {
        "content": "Hello, how are you?",
        "role": "user",
        "message_type": "text",
        "sender_id": "your_applications_id_of_user_who_sent_message"
      },
      {
        "content": "I\'m doing well, thank you!",
        "role": "assistant",
        "message_type": "text",
        "sender_id": "user_or_agent_id"
      }
    ],
    "enable_memories": true
  }'

conversation_id groups messages, supports deduplication, enforces sender consistency within a conversation, and is used when embedding conversation content into collections.

3) Call the completions endpoint with a user_id

You can use the OpenAI SDKs by setting the base URL to https://api.mielto.com/api/v1, passing your API key from the Mielto dashboard, and including the x-user-id header with your internal user ID.

curl -X POST https://api.mielto.com/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-user-id: your-user-id" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this conversation."}
    ]
  }'

# Python (openai>=1.0.0)
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://api.mielto.com/api/v1",
    default_headers={
        "x-user-id": "your-user-id",
    },
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize this conversation."}],
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

// TypeScript/JavaScript (openai@^4)
import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.MIELTO_API_KEY!,
  baseURL: 'https://api.mielto.com/api/v1',
  defaultHeaders: {
    'x-user-id': 'your-user-id',
  },
});

const resp = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Summarize this conversation.' }],
});
console.log(resp.choices[0].message?.content);
