How to make chat web app use facebook Chat API like Skype?


My customer asked me to develop a web app which include function chat with facebook but as I know, the Facebook Chat API and XMPP things has been deprecated since 04/30/2015.

But the function chat with facebook on Skype still working. Are there have any other approaches beside Facebook Chat API? I would like to hear an clear answer to explain for my customer.


Solution

  • No, there is no alternative to the Chat API. It has been removed and there is no way to implement chat in your App anymore. Skype may have a special deal with Facebook, or they are not upgraded to v2.0 yet - it´s a process that is still going on afaik.
