Replacement for Facebook Chat API in v2.0?


Facebook will be deprecating their chat API that currently allows sending chat messages via XMPP.

My company is currently working on a product that may take advantage of the chat API and I would like to know more about the future of this service.

Will the current XMPP-based chat API be replaced with a new version next year? Or is it going to be obsolete?

Any input on this will be appreciated!


Solution

  • The Facebook XMPP Chat API has been deprecated in v2.0 and above meaning it won't be available after April 30th 2015.

    Facebook have not announced any replacement for this API, so I'd recommend not building a product which requires this functionality.
