Usage

Agent RTM API usage example

Basic example on how to login as an agent and change routing status to not_accepting_chats.

First, create your AgentRTM client and log in:

>>> from livechat.agent import AgentRTM
>>> my_agent = AgentRTM.get_client()
>>> my_agent.login(token='Bearer <your bearer token>')
INFO:root:
REQUEST:
{
    "action": "login",
    "payload": {
        "token": "Bearer <your bearer token>
    },
    "request_id": "5571081909"
}
INFO:root:
RESPONSES:
{
    "response": {
        "request_id": "5571081909",
        "action": "login",
        "type": "response",
        "payload": {
            ...
        },
        "success": true
    },
    "pushes": []
}

Now you can change the routing status of the agent:

>>> my_agent.set_routing_status(status='not_accepting_chats')
INFO:root:
REQUEST:
{
    "action": "set_routing_status",
    "payload": {
        "status": "not_accepting_chats"
    },
    "request_id": "8214452850"
}
INFO:root:
RESPONSES:
{
    "response": {
        "request_id": "8214452850",
        "action": "set_routing_status",
        "type": "response",
        "payload": {},
        "success": true
        ...
    }
}

Finally, log out:

>>> my_agent.logout()
INFO:root:
REQUEST:
{
    "action": "logout",
    "payload": {},
    "request_id": "629300202"
}
INFO:root:
RESPONSES:
{
    "response": {
        "request_id": "629300202",
        "action": "logout",
        "type": "response",
        "success": true
    },
    "pushes": []
}
