To fix the issue where your custom API chatbot created using Node.js and Dify version 0.6.16 does not remember the previous conversation when asking follow-up questions, you need to ensure that you are correctly managing the conversation_id in your API requests. Here is how you can do it:

Retrieve the conversation_id after the initial chat request.
Use the same conversation_id for subsequent requests to maintain the context of the conversation.

Here is an example of how you can achieve this:

const axios = require('axios');

const API_URL = 'https://api.dify.ai/v1/chat-messages';
const API_KEY = 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY';
let conversationId = '';

async function sendMessage(query) {
    try {
        const response = await axios.post(API_URL, {
            inputs: {},
            query: query,
            response_mode: 'streaming',
            conversation_id: conversationId,
            user: 'abc-123'
        }, {
            headers: {
                'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            }
        });

        // Update conversationId with the one from the response
        if (response.data.conversation_id) {
            conversationId = response.data.conversation_id;
        }

        console.log(response.data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error sending message:', error);
    }
}

// Example usage
sendMessage('Hello, how are you?').then(() => {
    sendMessage('Can you tell me more about that?');
});

In this example:

The conversationId is initially empty.
After the first message is sent, the conversationId is updated with the value from the response.
Subsequent messages use the updated conversationId to maintain the conversation context.

Make sure to replace YOUR_SECRET_KEY with your actual API secret key. This approach ensures that the chatbot remembers the previous conversation when handling follow-up questions.

Additionally, as per Dify's best practices, API keys should be called through the backend, rather than being directly exposed in plaintext within frontend code or requests. This helps prevent your application from being abused or attacked ^[1]^[2].

can we submit history without conversion_id? We need custom some content of history.
