API Documentation of Tabnine Chat?

I want to write a plugin to use the Tabnine Chat more efficiently. I'm looking for a API and Endpoint Documentation.

Is that available?

Hi, you can develop such a plugin yourself. Here is the guide: https://github.com/codota/TabNine/blob/master/HowToWriteAClient.md

@TzufTabnine Thanks for this information. I checked out already and the current code of this repository https://github.com/codota/tabnine-intellij to figure out how the chat works and how I can build my own TabNine Chat App.

It's with the provided Information very hard to do.

The Chat is a different App at all. It's a Website which gets downloaded when TabNine binary is started, as I discovered. The source code of the Chat Website is minified, so no longer readable for humans. With the JCEF / Browser Debug Window in the IntelliJ Plugin, I'm able to see the requests which are being made by the chat website when I submit a question. That is a little help.

One of these requests which are made look interesting for my purposes, that is a POST to http://127.0.0.1:49825/generate but the Payload is a stream or something like it, not readable for humans. So I don't know how to create this request myself.

• Can you please ask the developers for an API Specification on what kind of data they expect from me to send via POST to the generate endpoint?

• or / and can you ask for the non minified source code of the Chat Website App?

I'm a paying user of TabNine since a year or longer.
