# Messaging API reference

# Common specifications

Common specifications for Messaging API, such as response and rate limit when a request succeeds or fails.

# Rate limits

The Messaging API applies the following rate limits for each endpoint. Rate limits depend on your plan and endpoint.

Note

If you continue to send requests exceeding the rate limit for an extended period of time, we may block incoming requests.

Endpoint	Rate limit
Send a narrowcast message Send a broadcast message Get number of sent messages Get number of friends Get friend demographics Get user interaction statistics	60 requests per hour
Create audience for uploading user IDs (by JSON) Create audience for uploading user IDs (by file) Add user IDs or Identifiers for Advertisers (IFAs) to an audience for uploading user IDs (by JSON) Add user IDs or Identifiers for Advertisers (IFAs) to an audience for uploading user IDs (by file) Create audience for click-based retargeting Create audience for impression-based retargeting Rename an audience Delete audience Get audience data Get data for multiple audiences Get the authority level of the audience Change the authority level of the audience	60 requests per minute
Other API endpoints	100,000 requests per minute 1,700 requests per second*

*The rate limit in seconds is a guideline for mass transmission.

# Status codes

The following status codes are returned by the Messaging API.

Status code	Description
200 OK	Request successful
400 Bad Request	Problem with the request
401 Unauthorized	Valid channel access token is not specified
403 Forbidden	Not authorized to access the resource. Confirm that your account or plan is authorized to access the resource.
429 Too Many Requests	Exceeded the rate limit for requests. Exceeded your monthly message limit. You can check the limit for your account in the LINE Official Account Manager.
500 Internal Server Error	Error on the internal server

# Response headers

The following HTTP headers are included in Messaging API responses.

Response headers	Description
X-Line-Request-Id	Request ID. A unique ID is generated for each request
X-Line-Accepted-Request-Id	If the request has already been accepted using the same retry key, the `x-line-request-id` of the accepted request is shown.

# Error responses

The following JSON data is returned in the response body when an error occurs.

message

String

Message containing information about the error. For more details, see Error messages.

details[].message

String

Details of the error. Not returned in certain situations.

details[].property

String

Location of where the error occurred. Not returned in certain situations.

Example error response

# Error messages

The main error messages that are found in the message property of the JSON error responses are shown below.

Message	Description
The request body has X error(s)	An error was found in the JSON data of the request body. The number of errors is displayed for "X". Further details are shown in the `details[].message` and `details[].property` properties.
Invalid reply token	An invalid reply token was used in the reply message
The property, XXX, in the request body is invalid (line: XXX, column: XXX)	An invalid property was specified in the request body. The specific property is displayed for "XXX".
The request body could not be parsed as JSON (line: XXX, column: XXX)	The JSON in the request body could not be parsed. The specific line and column are displayed.

Access to this API is not available for your account	Appears when calling an API that you do not have permission to use.
Failed to send messages	Appears when the message fails to be sent. One reason this may appear is if the user ID specified does not exist.
You have reached your monthly limit.	You have exceeded the target limit for additional messages.

# Webhooks

When an event occurs, such as when a user adds your LINE Official Account as a friend or sends a message, the LINE Platform sends an HTTPS POST request to the webhook URL (bot server).

The webhook URL is configured for each channel in the LINE Developers Console.

# Webhook Event Objects

These are JSON objects containing events generated by the LINE platform.

Some properties of these event objects might not have any value. Generated event objects don't contain properties without any value.

The structure of these event objects might be changed when the Messaging API feature is updated. Such changes can include adding properties, changing the order of properties, adding or deleting spaces and newlines between data elements, and so on. Implement your server so as not to fail in receiving event objects whose structure has changed in the future.

Example webhook event object

# Common properties

The following properties are found in webhook event objects.

type

String

Identifier for the type of event

mode

String

Channel state.

active: The channel is active. You can send a reply message or push message from the bot server that received this webhook event.
standby (under development): The channel is waiting. The bot server that received this webhook event shouldn't send any messages.

timestamp

Number

Time of the event in milliseconds

source

Object

Source user, group, or room object with information about the source of the event.

What causes the mode property to change

The mode property's value can change to standby if the channel administrator starts using channel multiplexing (under development). The value of mode never automatically changes to standby.

There is currently no way to multiplex incoming channels.

Even actions that do not generate data, such as SLEEP, return an execution result of type void.
The number of items in an action array may be 0.

Therefore, things.result.actionResults has the following properties:

The number of items in the array matches the number of actions defined in the scenario.
The order of execution results matches the order in which actions are performed. That is, in a scenario set with multiple GATT_READ actions, the results are returned in the order in which each individual GATT_READ action was performed.
If 0 actions are defined in the scenario, the number of items in things.result.actionResults will be 0.

# Message

You can send a message and obtain information about the sent message.

# Send reply message

Sends a reply message in response to an event from a user, group, or room.

To send reply messages, you must have a reply token which is included in a webhook event object.

Webhooks are used to notify you when an event occurs. For events that you can respond to, a reply token is issued for replying to messages.

Because the reply token becomes invalid after a certain period of time, responses should be sent as soon as a message is received. Reply tokens can only be used once.

# Send narrowcast message

Some audiences for impression-based retargeting have been disabled

Audiences created for impression-based retargeting using messages delivered between March 30, 2020 00:00 and April 22, 2020 21:30 have been disabled. For details, see Notice about service outage in the aggregation of some APIs for 'Audience' and 'Insight'.

Sends a push message to multiple users. You can specify recipients using attributes (such as age, gender, OS, and region) or by retargeting (audiences). Messages cannot be sent to groups or rooms.

Usage restrictions of narrowcast messages

To prevent someone from guessing the recipients' attributes, narrowcast messages can't be sent when the number of recipients is below the required minimum amount.

Please take note of the following:

To use attribute data, your "Target reach" number must be 100 or more.
Combine audience and attribute data so that the number of recipients is 50 or more. If this criterion isn't met, you can't send narrowcast messages. However, you can send to less than 50 people if:
- You use an audience for uploading the user ID without using attribute data
- You use the chat tag audience
When sending narrowcast messages, you can specify up to 10 audiences (recipient objects).

Message delivery caps

When you send a narrowcast message, the number of individual messages scheduled for delivery is temporarily calculated as if every single friend will receive them regardless of the values you have set for the recipient and filter.demographic properties. If the number of messages scheduled for delivery exceeds your soft limit for the month, you won't be able to send the narrowcast message.

However, if the maximum number of outgoing messages set in limit.max is under your soft limit for the month, you will be able to send the narrowcast message.

Also, by setting the limit.upToRemainingQuota property to true, even if the number of messages scheduled for delivery exceeds the maximum number of deliverable messages, an error will not occur. It will be delivered within the maximum limit.

You can see the current month’s target limit for additional messages by using the Get the target limit for additional messages endpoint.

For more information on how to set the approximate target limit, see Messaging API pricing.

Image width: 240px, 300px, 460px, 700px, 1040px
Max file size: 10 MB

Make it possible to access images of 5 different sizes using the baseUrl/{image width} URL format. LINE will then download an image at the appropriate resolution based on the device.

For example, if we had a base URL of https://example.com/images/cats, the URL for the image with a width of 700px would be https://example.com/images/cats/700. To confirm all images display properly, access the image URLs.

Image width	Example URL
240px	https://example.com/bot/images/rm001/240
300px	https://example.com/bot/images/rm001/300
460px	https://example.com/bot/images/rm001/460
700px	https://example.com/bot/images/rm001/700
1040px	https://example.com/bot/images/rm001/1040

Exclude image extension from URL

Don't include the extension in the image filename. The image will not display in the imagemap message if the URL contains the image file extension (e.g. https://example.com/bot/images/rm001/700.png).
