Overview

API call implementations for toggling a chatflow's public access and loading chatflow configuration from the unauthenticated public endpoint.

Code Reference

Source Location

File: packages/ui/src/api/chatflows.js, lines 9 and 13
UI Components:
- packages/ui/src/views/chatflows/ShareChatbot.jsx (594 lines) -- sharing UI with toggle and appearance settings
- packages/ui/src/views/chatbot/index.jsx (118 lines) -- public chatbot page renderer

Signature

Update chatflow public status:

const updateChatflow = (id, body) => client.put(`/chatflows/${id}`, body)

Fetch chatflow from public endpoint (no auth required):

const getSpecificChatflowFromPublicEndpoint = (id) => client.get(`/public-chatflows/${id}`)

Import

import chatflowsApi from '@/api/chatflows'

The API client is configured at packages/ui/src/api/client.js with base URL ${baseURL}/api/v1.

I/O Contract

Inputs (updateChatflow for public toggle)

Parameter	Type	Description
`id`	`string`	The chatflow ID to update
`body`	`object`	Object containing `isPublic: boolean`

{
  isPublic: boolean  // true to make public, false to make private
}

Inputs (getSpecificChatflowFromPublicEndpoint)

Parameter	Type	Description
`id`	`string`	The chatflow ID to retrieve

Outputs

Field	Type	Description
`data`	`Chatflow`	The chatflow object with updated `isPublic` flag

Returns Promise<{data: Chatflow}> with the full chatflow record.

Public URL Format

`${window.location.protocol}//${window.location.host}/chatbot/${chatflowId}`

Usage Examples

Making a Chatflow Public

import chatflowsApi from '@/api/chatflows'

// Enable public access
const response = await chatflowsApi.updateChatflow(chatflowId, {
  isPublic: true
})

// The chatbot is now accessible at:
// https://your-flowise-host.com/chatbot/{chatflowId}
console.log('Public URL:', `${baseURL}/chatbot/${chatflowId}`)

Revoking Public Access

import chatflowsApi from '@/api/chatflows'

// Disable public access
const response = await chatflowsApi.updateChatflow(chatflowId, {
  isPublic: false
})

Loading Chatflow Config on Public Page

import chatflowsApi from '@/api/chatflows'

// This call does not require authentication
const response = await chatflowsApi.getSpecificChatflowFromPublicEndpoint(chatflowId)

// response.data contains the chatflow configuration
// including chatbotConfig for appearance settings
const chatbotConfig = response.data.chatbotConfig
  ? JSON.parse(response.data.chatbotConfig)
  : {}

ShareChatbot.jsx Toggle Pattern

// From ShareChatbot.jsx -- the actual toggle implementation
const onSwitchChange = async (checked) => {
  try {
    const saveResp = await chatflowsApi.updateChatflow(chatflowid, {
      isPublic: checked
    })
    if (saveResp.data) {
      dispatch({ type: SET_CHATFLOW, chatflow: saveResp.data })
    }
  } catch (error) {
    // Error handling with snackbar notification
  }
}
