Here’s a simple JavaScript example of how to use the API to send a message to a chat room:

const sendMessage = async (roomId, message) => {
    try {
        const response = await axios.post(`https://api.gitter.im/v1/rooms/${roomId}/chatMessages`, {
            text: message
        }, {
            headers: {
                'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
            }
        });
        console.log('Message sent:', response.data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error sending message:', error);
    }
};

// Example usage:
const roomId = 'YOUR_ROOM_ID';
const message = 'Hello, Gitter!';
sendMessage(roomId, message);
