Step 5: Get Your Embed Code​

Generate Your API Key​

  3. Copy the key and keep it safe

Get Your Embed Code​

  1. Go to your avatar profile

<iframe 
  src="https://oktalkto.me/embed.html?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&profileId=YOUR_PROFILE_ID"
  width="100%" 
  height="600px" 
  frameborder="0">
</iframe>
Remember

⚠️ This embed code will only work after you whitelist your website domain in the avatar profile settings!

Step 6: Add to Your Website​

IMPORTANT - Domain Whitelisting Required

🚨 Before your avatar will work on external websites, you MUST whitelist your domain(s):

  1. Go to Avatar Profile Settings (where you got the embed code)
  2. Find "Allowed Domains for Embedding" section
  3. Add your website domain(s):
    • https://yourdomain.com
    • https://www.yourdomain.com
  4. Save the profile

Without domain whitelisting, your avatar will not load due to CORS restrictions!

Simple Website Integration​

  1. Paste the embed code into your website's HTML
  2. Adjust the width and height to fit your page
  3. Test it - Visit your website and try talking to your avatar

Example: Full Page Avatar​

Create a dedicated page for your avatar:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Chat with Our AI Assistant</title>
    <style>
        body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
        iframe { width: 100vw; height: 100vh; border: none; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <iframe src="https://oktalkto.me/embed.html?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&profileId=YOUR_PROFILE_ID"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
