# Send a typing indicator

`POST /chats/{userUuid}/typing`

Signal that you are typing (or have stopped typing) in a chat with a user. The signal is delivered to the counterpart's realtime connection and is not persisted, so delivery is best-effort. Send an empty body `{}` (or omit `isTyping`) to indicate you are typing.

## Path parameters

- `userUuid` string, uuid, required

## Headers

- `X-Fanvue-API-Version` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `isTyping` boolean — Whether the caller is currently typing (true) or has stopped (false). Defaults to true.

## Response `202`

Typing signal accepted

- object
  - `success` true, required

- `401` — Unauthorized Response
- `403` — Unauthorized Response
- `410` — API version no longer supported (sunset)
- `429` — Too many requests - rate limit exceeded
