QuickBlox Developers
Welcome to QuickBlox Developers section. Here you will find everything you need to power up your apps with functionality, reliability and scalability of a cloud backend.
API documentation covers all of our Modules’ API calls available as REST or JSON. SDK are libraries for particular platforms such as iOS, Android or Web that take care of client-server connection and wrap our API calls into native code classes.
Sample codes – we have plenty of them for each platform – there are Simple Samples (usually 2-3 lines of code showing how easy it is to integrate a particular functionality such as push notifications or geo location) and Super Samples (those are ready apps showing all QuickBlox modules combined). There are also Mashapps showing a combination of 2-3 QB modules and integration with a 3rd party API sometimes. Such examples are our Location based Chat (Location + Chat + Google/Bing map) and Augmented Reality Chat (sometimes integrated with Facebook too for users’ profiles).
Browse documentation using the categories on the left, also find below the essential quick start collections broken down by platforms.
