Full reference for the Dbrij public API: authentication, meetings, chat, messages and webhooks.
The Dbrij Developer API lets you embed real time Meetings (audio/video on LiveKit) and Chat into your own product. You operate on behalf of your own end users, Dbrij provisions a managed identity for each, so meetings, chat authorship and participant lists all map back to your user ids.
https://api.dbrij.com/apiJSON in, JSON outAuthorization: Bearer <key>Every endpoint is relative to that base. All requests and responses are JSON. Authenticate with an API key (see Authentication).

The official client is a single, zero dependency file (Node 18+ and browsers). Download dbrij-sdk.js and drop it into your project.
import { DbrijClient } from './dbrij-sdk.js';
const dbrij = new DbrijClient({
apiKey: process.env.DBRIJ_API_KEY, // a key from your Developer API dashboard

});const meeting = await dbrij.createMeeting({
title: 'Onboarding call',
mode: 'video',
host: { externalUserId: 'user_42', displayName: 'Jane' },
});
const { url, token } = await dbrij.mintToken(meeting.id, {
externalUserId: 'user_99', displayName: 'Sam',
}); // → hand url + token to the LiveKit client SDKconst convo = await dbrij.createConversation({

});
await dbrij.sendMessage(convo.id, {

Tracking a website with Glass is one script tag. For a React Native app, use the @dbrij/glass-native package instead: sessions, screen views, taps and custom events land in the same Glass dashboard, with device shown as iOS or Android. Session replay stays web only; native sessions appear without a recording.
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';
import { AppState, Platform } from 'react-native';
import { createGlass } from '@dbrij/glass-native';
export const glass = createGlass({
siteKey: 'gk_your_site_key', // Glass -> Sites
platform: { os: Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 'ios' : 'android', appVersion: '1.4.2' },
storage: AsyncStorage,
});
AppState.addEventListener('change', (s) => {
if (s === 'active') glass.onForeground();
else if (s === 'background') glass.onBackground();
});
// then, anywhere:
glass.screen('Checkout');
glass.track('signup', { plan: 'pro' });
glass.identify('user_1234');The SDK batches events, persists an offline queue, honors the site's quota kill switch, and never throws into your app. Nothing is collected beyond what you call.
Pure native apps get the same tracking through a single drop-in file per platform, zero dependencies each: glass-tracker.swift, GlassTracker.kt or glass_tracker.dart. Same API everywhere: screen, track, identify, tap. All of them batch, keep a bounded offline queue, honor the quota kill switch, and never throw into your app.
let glass = GlassTracker(siteKey: "gk_your_site_key", appVersion: "1.4.2")
// lifecycle is observed automatically on iOS
glass.screen("Checkout")
glass.track("signup", props: ["plan": "pro"])
glass.identify("user_1234")
glass.tap(xPct: 48, yPct: 88, label: "buy-button")val glass = GlassTracker(application, GlassTracker.Config(
siteKey = "gk_your_site_key", appVersion = "1.4.2",
))
// lifecycle is observed automatically via ActivityLifecycleCallbacks
glass.screen("Checkout")
glass.track("signup", mapOf("plan" to "pro"))
glass.identify("user_1234")
glass.tap(48.0, 88.0, "buy-button")final glass = GlassTracker(GlassConfig(
siteKey: 'gk_your_site_key',
platformOs: Platform.isIOS ? 'ios' : 'android',
appVersion: '1.4.2',
));
// wire a WidgetsBindingObserver: resumed -> glass.onForeground(),
// paused -> glass.onBackground(); a NavigatorObserver calls glass.screen(name)
glass.track('signup', {'plan': 'pro'});Sessions from native apps show up in the Glass dashboard with device iOS or Android. Session replay is web only; native sessions appear without a recording.
Authenticate every request with an API key from your Developer API dashboard (sign in with your normal Dbrij account), sent as a Bearer token.
Authorization: Bearer dbrij_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTest keys (dbrij_test_…) are never billed. Chat messages and meetings are real so you can watch them work, and capped so a test key cannot run production: 500 chat messages and 25 meetings a day, and a test meeting holds 2 people for 10 minutes.
Use test keys while building and live keys in production. Keys carry scopes; a request missing a required scope returns 403. Keys for email, SMS, search and support are made in Send, Ping, Search and Resolve, each with its own docs.
Every success response is wrapped in an envelope: { "success": true, "data": … }. Read your payload from data, never from the top level, the Response examples throughout these docs show the envelope. Errors are wrapped the same way with success: false (see Errors and usage).
| meetings:read | scope | List/read meetings, participants, summaries. |
| meetings:write | scope | Create/end/cancel meetings, mute/remove participants. |
| meetings:tokens | scope | Mint LiveKit join tokens. |
| chat:read | scope | List/read conversations and messages. |
| chat:write | scope | Create conversations, send messages, manage members, react. |
You never create Dbrij user accounts. Instead, every call carries an externalUserId, your own identifier for one of your end users. Dbrij transparently provisions and reuses a managed identity behind it.
Most endpoints take an actor reference wherever a person is needed (a host, message author, member or reactor):
| externalUserId* | string | Your stable id for the end user. |
| displayName | string | The user's name (kept fresh on each call). |
| avatarUrl | string | URL to the user's avatar. |
{ "externalUserId": "user_42", "displayName": "Jane Doe", "avatarUrl": "https://…/jane.png" }Standalone audio/video meetings, created with an arbitrary host + participants, instant or scheduled, not tied to a conversation. (For a call inside a chat, see Calls.) Tokens are minted per end user for the LiveKit client SDK.
An actor reference: { "externalUserId": string, "displayName"?: string, "avatarUrl"?: string }.
/meetingsmeetings:writeCreate a meeting
Create an instant meeting (starts live) or schedule one for later. The host and any participants are your own end users.
PATH / BODY PARAMETERS
| title | string | Display title. Defaults to a generated name. |
| mode | 'video' | 'voice' | Camera call or audio only. Default 'video'. |
| scheduledFor | string (ISO-8601) | If set in the future, the meeting is scheduled rather than started now. |
| durationMinutes | number | Planned length cap (5 to 1440). |
| host | ActorRef | The hosting end user. Defaults to your app actor. |
| participants | ActorRef[] | End users invited up front (optional, you can mint tokens for anyone later). |

}A call is a real time audio/video session that lives inside a conversation: ring a 1:1 chat, or start a group call. Unlike a standalone meeting, a call is bound to the chat: its audience is the conversation's members, and a "call started" card appears in the thread.
Typical flow: open a conversation → start a call in it → mint a join token for each member.
/conversations/:id/callsmeetings:writeStart a call in a conversation
Rings the conversation members and returns a Meeting object. The initiator must be a member of the conversation.
PATH / BODY PARAMETERS
| id* | string (path) | The conversation id. |
| initiator* | ActorRef | The end user starting the call (a member of the conversation). |
| mode | 'video' | 'voice' | Camera call or audio only. Default 'video'. |
| title | string | Optional title (defaults to the chat name). |

}Let people sign into your product with their Dbrij account: standard OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow, the same shape as any standard social sign in. Turn it on per app from the dashboard's Sign in tab: register your redirect URIs and you get a client_id plus a client_secret (shown once). Your app's name is what the consent screen shows.
The flow. 1 · Send the person to the authorize URL. 2 · They approve on the Dbrij consent screen and come back to your redirect_uri with a one time code (and your state). 3 · Exchange the code server side for tokens. 4 · Read the profile from userinfo. PKCE (S256) is supported and recommended.

Access tokens live one hour. Refresh with grant_type=refresh_token at the same token endpoint; each refresh token works once and the response carries its replacement. A rotated out refresh token presented again is treated as a leak: every token for that account and app is revoked on the spot. Revoke a token yourself with POST /oauth/revoke (body field token).
| redirect_uri | exact match | Must equal a registered URI character for character, at authorize AND at exchange. https only (localhost may use http). |
| code | one minute, one use | Exchange it immediately, server side. A second exchange fails and always verify state. |
| client_secret | server only | Never ship it in a browser or app binary. For public clients add PKCE: send code_challenge (S256) on authorize and code_verifier on exchange. |
| errors | RFC 6749 | The token endpoint answers the spec shapes: { "error": "invalid_grant", "error_description": "…" } with 400/401, not the platform envelope. |
People manage what they have connected under Settings, then Security, then Connected apps. Disconnecting there revokes every token your app holds for them, so treat a 401 from userinfo as "signed out".
Attach images, video, audio and files to any message. You have two options:
1 · Bring your own URL. If you already host the file, just include it in attachments when sending a message, no upload step needed.
2 · Upload to Dbrij storage. Request a signed direct upload, send the file straight to storage (the bytes never touch your server), then attach the returned URL.

Returns a one time signed payload to upload a single file directly to Dbrij storage.
PATH / BODY PARAMETERS
| kind* | 'image' | 'video' | 'audio' | 'file' | The media kind. |
curl -X POST https://api.dbrij.com/api/uploads/sign \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $DBRIJ_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "kind": "image" }'{ "kind": "image" }{
"success": true,
"data": {
"cloudName": "dbrij",
"apiKey": "8123…",
"timestamp": 1751200000,
"signature": "a1b2…",
"folder": "dbrij/apps/<app>/attachments",
"resourceType": "image",
"uploadUrl": "https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/dbrij/image/upload"
}
}With the SDK it's one call:
// 'file' is a browser File (e.g. from an <input type="file">)
const attachment = await dbrij.uploadMedia('image', file);
await dbrij.sendMessage(convo.id, {
author: { externalUserId: 'user_42' },
body: 'Check this out',
attachments: [attachment],
});Or upload yourself, then attach the URL:
# 1) POST the file to uploadUrl with the signed fields:
curl -X POST "$UPLOAD_URL" \
-F "file=@./photo.jpg" \
-F "api_key=$API_KEY" -F "timestamp=$TIMESTAMP" \
-F "signature=$SIGNATURE" -F "folder=$FOLDER"
# → response has "secure_url", "width", "height", "bytes"
# 2) Send a message referencing it:
curl -X POST https://api.dbrij.com/api/conversations/$CONVO_ID/messages \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $DBRIJ_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "author": { "externalUserId": "user_42" }, "body": "",
"attachments": [{ "name": "photo.jpg", "kind": "image", "url": "<secure_url>" }] }'ATTACHMENT FIELDS

Deliver messages, typing, read receipts and presence to your end users' devices live, without building your own fan out. Mint a short lived token for a user, connect to Dbrij over Socket.IO, and join their conversation rooms.
/realtime/tokenchat:readMint a realtime token
Returns a 1 hour token for one of your end users to connect to realtime.
curl -X POST https://api.dbrij.com/api/realtime/token \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $DBRIJ_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "externalUserId": "user_99" }'{ "externalUserId": "user_99" }{
"success": true,
"data": {
"token": "eyJhbGciOi…",
"expiresIn": 3600,
"events": ["message", "message:update", "typing", "conversation:read", "presence"]
}
}Connect from your client
import { io } from 'socket.io-client';
const { token } = await dbrij.realtimeToken({ externalUserId: 'user_99' });
// Connect to the Dbrij API host (same host as your REST base).
const socket = io('https://api.dbrij.com', { auth: { token } });
socket.on('connect', () => {
socket.emit('join', { channel: 'conversation', id: CONVERSATION_ID });
});
socket.on('message', (m) => console.log('new message', m));
socket.on('typing', (t) => console.log('typing', t));
socket.on('conversation:read', (r) => console.log('read', r));
socket.on('presence', (p) => console.log('presence', p));
// Tell others this user is typing:
socket.emit('typing', { conversationId: CONVERSATION_ID, typing: true });EVENTS YOU RECEIVE
| message | Message | A new message in a joined conversation. |
| message:update | Message | A message was edited or its reactions changed. |
| typing | { conversationId, userId, typing } | Someone is typing. |
| conversation:read | { conversationId, userId, at } | A read receipt. |
| presence | { conversationId, userId, online } | A member came online / went offline. |
The token authenticates exactly one of your end users and expires in 1 hour, so mint a fresh one per session. Joining a conversation requires that user to be a member.
Set a webhook URL on your app in the dashboard. Dbrij POSTs a signed JSON envelope for each event. Because your end users don't connect to Dbrij directly, message.created is how you deliver chat to their clients.
