A first-class, vendor-neutral message-platform adapter (http_bot) for
server-to-server integrations (LangBot Space ticketing et al). Drives a
pipeline over plain HTTP with no long-lived connection:
- Inbound: signed POST to the existing unified webhook route /bots/<uuid>,
carrying a caller-defined session_id mapped to the LangBot launcher id via
get_launcher_id -> per-session isolation. Preserves pipeline-native N->1
aggregation for free.
- Outbound: each reply_message / reply_message_chunk becomes one signed
callback POST to the config-only callback_url, delivered in per-session
sequence order with retry/backoff -> 1->M multi-reply.
- Sub-paths: /reset (drop a session) and /sync (block for the collapsed reply).
- Auth: symmetric HMAC-SHA256 both directions (timestamp + replay window),
no JWT/Turnstile, no socket.
Decisions: callback URL is config-only (SSRF closed); reset + sync shipped;
Python + TS reference clients shipped (signing verified byte-identical 3-way).
No core changes: the unified webhook router, aggregator, query pool and
pipeline are untouched. Adapter is auto-discovered from platform/sources/.

HTTP Bot Adapter — Reference Clients
Minimal, dependency-light clients for the LangBot HTTP Bot platform adapter. They show the whole loop: signing a request, pushing a message, and receiving multi-part replies on a callback endpoint.
Full guide: docs/platforms/http-bot.md.
Machine-readable contract: docs/http-bot-openapi.json.
Files
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
client.py |
Python client + Flask callback receiver (pip install flask requests). |
client.ts |
TypeScript/Node 18+ client + callback receiver, zero deps (npx tsx client.ts). |
Both implement the identical HMAC-SHA256 scheme
(sha256=hex(HMAC(secret, "{timestamp}." + body))) — verified byte-for-byte
against the adapter.
Quickstart
# Python — Terminal 1: callback receiver (your callback_url target)
python client.py serve --port 8900 --secret SHARED_SECRET
# Python — Terminal 2: push a message
python client.py push --url https://your-langbot/bots/<BOT_UUID> \
--secret SHARED_SECRET --session ticket-1 --text "hello"
# blocking sync mode
python client.py sync --url https://your-langbot/bots/<BOT_UUID> \
--secret SHARED_SECRET --session ticket-1 --text "hello"
# reset a session
python client.py reset --url https://your-langbot/bots/<BOT_UUID> \
--secret SHARED_SECRET --session ticket-1
# TypeScript (Node 18+)
npx tsx client.ts serve 8900 SHARED_SECRET
npx tsx client.ts push https://your-langbot/bots/<BOT_UUID> SHARED_SECRET ticket-1 "hello"
When the bot replies, the receiver prints each part with its sequence and an
[FINAL] marker on the last one — that's the 1→M multi-reply model in action.
The bot's
callback_urlmust be reachable from LangBot. For local testing, expose your receiver with a tunnel (cloudflared / ngrok) and set that URL in the bot config.
