We added two new commands that allow you to control the typing notifications sent by your bot to other residents:
- typing_start (uuid, [keep-typing-delay])
- typing_stop (uuid)
The same for Bot Playground:

Typing Notification: new HTTP API and Playground command
New Simple Groups API
We added new API calls to allow managing groups without a personal bot.
SmartBots allows managing groups by “system” bots. Such groups run on a bot provided by SmartBots (the advantages are a cheaper price and easier management).
As a beginning, two API calls have been added:
- send_group_im – the command to send a message to the group chat,
- set_http_callback – the command to set HTTP callbacks and get them when something happens in a group.
The currently available API calls are listed here.
New HTTP APIs for developers
Hello everyone!
During the last few months we were working on SpeedLight (the first and only Second Life web and mobile viewer). This does not mean we’ve forgot about SmartBots! Nope. SpeedLight runs on SmartBots engine and we added a lot of new features to the engine.
Now it is time to bring these new features to SmartBots users!
We are starting with a new HTTP API command and an updated HTTP callback feature:
- parcel_eject – the command to eject (and probably ban) another avatar from bot’s parcel
- the bunch of HTTP callback events – including “nearby avatars, teleport/friendship/inventory offers and more
What’s next?
We will be adding more features to API soon. Also, the Bots Playgroups (the JavaScript bots programming tool) will get updates. Finally, we did a new security-related add-on for your bots. Testing it now, to be released this month!
Thank you for staying with us, and stay tuned! :)
‘offer_teleport’ HTTP API Command!
The HTTP API library has been expanded with a new command!:
offer_teleport – Commands bot to send a teleport request to an avatar with a custom message (optional).
