Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

API key authorization. Pass your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token. Both new (gsk_*) and legacy (gsk-) API keys are accepted, e.g. Authorization: Bearer gsk_... or Authorization: Bearer gsk-....

Body

application/json

Session creation input. testCaseId and isProduction are independent: a session can be production (no testCaseId), test-driven non-production (testCaseId set, isProduction defaults to false), or externally-ingested non-production (no testCaseId, isProduction explicitly false — typical for imported traces). The only forbidden combination is testCaseId set together with isProduction=true. When testCaseId is set, context is rejected because it would be derived from the test case.

​
versionId
string
required

Version ID to create the session for

Example:

"ver_123"

​
customId
string

Optional caller-defined identifier for the session

Example:

"my-session-1"

​
testCaseId
string

Test case to link this session to. Forbidden when isProduction=true. Defaults to omitted, in which case isProduction defaults to true.

Example:

"tc_123"

​
isProduction
boolean

Whether the session represents real production traffic. Defaults to true when testCaseId is omitted and false when testCaseId is set. May be set explicitly to false without a testCaseId for externally-ingested sessions (e.g. trace imports).

​
context

Additional context for the session. Accepts a plain string or a structured JSON object. Forbidden when testCaseId is set (the context is derived from the test case).

​
metadata
object

Arbitrary key-value metadata

Example:
{ "key": "value" }
​
status
enum<string>
default:COMPLETED

Initial session status

Available options:
PENDING,
COMPLETED,
FAILED

Response

Session created successfully

​
id
string
Example:

"session_123"

​
customId
string | null
Example:

"custom_session_123"

​
versionId
string
Example:

"ver_123"

​
userId
string | null
Example:

"user_123"

​
testCaseId
string | null
Example:

"tc_123"

​
context
object | null

Structured context data. For plain text context, format is { value: "..." }

Example:
{ "value": "Session context information" }
​
stoppingReason
string | null
Example:

"GOAL_ACHIEVED"

​
recordingUri
string | null

Canonical storage URI of the full-call recording for a telephony-evaluation session. Null for non-telephony sessions or before the recording is processed. Resolve to a playable URL via GET /storage?uri=.

Example:

"s3://galtea-bucket/audio/org_123/session_abc-recording.mp3"

​
error
string | null
Example:

"External API responded with HTTP 422: Unprocessable Entity — {\"detail\":\"model not found\"}"

​
status
enum<string>
Available options:
PENDING,
COMPLETED,
FAILED
Example:

"PENDING"

​
isProduction
boolean

True when the session represents real production traffic (no associated test case).

Example:

false

​
metadata
object | null
Example:
{ "key": "value" }
​
createdAt
string<date-time>
​
deletedAt
string<date-time> | null
