  title: GC AI External Chat Projects API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: 'The GC AI External API allows programmatic access to GC AI''s chat capabilities. It''s designed for integration with workflow automation tools like Zapier, Make, n8n, or custom applications.


    ## Authentication


    All API requests must include an API key in the `Authorization` header:


    ```

    Authorization: gcai_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    ```


    API keys can be created in the GC AI app under **Settings → API**.


    ## Multi-turn Conversations


    Conversations can span multiple turns: pass the `chat_id` returned by a completion back on your next request to continue the same chat. See [Multi-turn Conversations](/api-reference/concepts/multi-turn).


    ## Current Limitations


    The following is not yet available via API:


    - **Interactive clarification**: the model cannot pause to ask the caller a follow-up question; the `askUserQuestions` tool is disabled on the API surface in beta


    ## Usage


    Usage is tracked and viewable in the GC AI app under **Settings → API → View Usage**.


    ## Support


    For API support, contact [support@gc.ai](mailto:support@gc.ai) or reach out to your account representative.'
