We're introducing two significant enhancements to the ChatterBox API that strengthen security and expand functionality. These updates focus on improving authentication security and expanding webhook functionality.

Temporary Tokens: Enhanced Security for Client-Side Applications

One of the requested features has been a more secure way to authenticate client-side applications. Today, we're introducing temporary tokens that provide a secure alternative to using permanent API tokens in client-side code.

Key Benefits of Temporary Tokens

• Enhanced Security: Generate short-lived tokens that expire after a specified duration
• Client-Side Safety: Use tokens in frontend applications without exposing your permanent API key
• Flexible Duration: Configure token expiration from 1 minute to 24 hours
• Easy Implementation: Simple API endpoint for token generation

How to Use Temporary Tokens

Generate a temporary token using your permanent API token:

curl -X POST https://bot.chatter-box.io/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your_permanent_token" \
  -d '{"expiresIn": 3600}'

The response will include your temporary token and its expiration time:

{
  "token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...",
  "expiresIn": 3600
}

Enhanced Webhooks: Transcript Events

We've expanded our webhook functionality to include transcript events, giving you more flexibility in how you receive and process meeting data.
