TENANT = "zetaalpha"
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"X-Auth": os.getenv("ZETA_ALPHA_API_KEY"),
}

requests.put(
f"https://api.zeta-alpha.com/v0/service/chat/message-feedback?tenant={TENANT}",
headers=headers,
json={
"message_id": "the-message-id-from-response",
"judgement": "relevant",
"agent_identifier": "chat_with_dynamic_retrieval",
"comment": "Accurate and well-sourced answer",
},
)

Getting the message_id

The message_id is returned in the agent's ChatMessage:

  • Non-streaming: response.json()["conversation"][-1]["message_id"]
  • Streaming: In the final SSE event's data, message["message_id"]

Judgement Values

ValueMeaningTypical UI
relevantThe answer was helpful and accurate👍 Thumbs up
somewhat_relevantPartially useful but not fully satisfyingNeutral / partial
not_relevantThe answer was unhelpful or incorrect👎 Thumbs down

Using the comment Field

The comment field accepts free-text. Common patterns:

  • User-typed feedback: "The answer was missing information about X"
  • Structured reasons: "factual_error,missing_citation"
  • Empty acknowledgment: "User clicked thumbs up"

Use whatever format suits your application — the field is stored as-is for later analysis.
