# Stream Message

POST https://api.credal.ai/api/v0/copilots/streamMessage
Content-Type: application/json

**Deprecated.** Use the [v1 Agents API](https://docs.credal.ai/api-reference/v-1/api-reference/agents) instead: send a message with `POST /v1/agents/sendMessage`, then poll for the response with `GET /v1/agents/fetchAgentResponse`.

Previously, this endpoint streamed a response back as Server-Sent Events.

Reference: https://docs.credal.ai/api-reference/api-reference/copilots/stream-message

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token.

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `copilotId` (UUID, required) — Credal-generated Agent ID to specify which agent to route the request to.
- `message` (string, required) — The message you want to send to your agent.
- `email` (string, required) — The user profile you want to use when sending the message.
- `conversationId` (UUID, optional) — Credal-generated conversation ID for sending follow up messages. Conversation ID is returned after initial message. Optional, to be left off for first messages on new conversations.
- `inputVariables` (list of InputVariable, optional) — Optional input variables to be used in the message. Map the name of the variable to a list of urls.
