For developers

An AI endpoint over your documents. Built into your product.

Already have a UI? Skip the widget. Whitford gives you a single API that answers questions from the documents you choose, with citations, so you can put grounded AI inside your own product without building retrieval yourself.

One request

POST a question, get a grounded answer.

Authenticate with a secret key (server-to-server, never exposed in a browser). The response includes the answer and the source documents it came from.

Streaming is available at /public/chat/stream (SSE) for token-by-token output.

bash

curl https://api.whitford.app/public/chat \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wf_sk_your_secret_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "What are your refund terms?"}'

{
  "text": "Refunds are available within 30 days of purchase...",
  "sources": [
    { "fileName": "Returns Policy.pdf", "pageStart": 2, "pageEnd": 2 }
  ],
  "sessionId": "b3f1..."
}

Add your documents

Upload the material the API should answer from. Whitford builds and indexes an AI Brain from it.

Create a secret key

Generate a server-side API token in your dashboard. It’s scoped to your firm and rejected from browsers.

Call the endpoint

POST a message to /public/chat from your backend and render the grounded answer + citations in your own UI.

Pricing

Same plan as the chatbot. Use the widget, the API, or both.

The API is included in Customer Chat ($49/mo). It’s the same grounded engine as the website widget, just headless. Usage runs against the same monthly allowance, and you can top up any time if you need more.
