All you need to know about it today
In the past few years, it has been obvious that many developers are actively looking for messengers APIs. The API is needed by many: both those who are engaged in the creation of chatbots and companies that want to integrate their ERP / CRM, and simply automate business processes using the most popular messenger. Unfortunately, messengers has no official API for developers, because they want to keep the platform from a lot of spam. The company introduced messengers Business API, as well as a corporate version for large companies with the ability to send transaction-related messages (for example, air tickets, orders and confirmations, etc.). It’s very difficult for an ordinary person to access this business api. And it should be noted that the capabilities of the system are very limited and not at all in favor of the business.
There are many Github repositories with libraries all over the Internet, but none of them provide any stable and long-term solutions. Moreover, most repositories have not been updated for a very long time, which means these libraries are no longer relevant.
Our development team tried to find a solution to this problem. The main condition was to achieve stability and convenience for ordinary programmers. After a long work (which does not end until now!), We have achieved some results. Our API works on the basis of the messengers WEB protocol and eliminates the ban as when using libraries from mgp25 and the like. At the same time, we constantly update our systems, adapt the API for changes. Using this API, you can create chatbot in just a couple of hours or do any integration in PHP, JavaScript, 1C, Python, Java, C #, or even VBA.
Please note that our API is independent and unofficial and we have no official connection to messengers / Facebook. We are trying to solve a painful problem for developers with the full consent of messengers users who are interested in using their messengers as robots. We do not approve of spam. We do not advise making mass mailings. Your account may be banned by the anti-spam system if several users complain about you or you have a large number of unanswered outgoing messages. Send only messages that recipients expect!
