Enabling real time communication for your app by connecting you to QuickBlox’s powerful cloud communication services.
A Chat API allows you to build real time chat for your mobile or web application. An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of code that serves as a mediator, sending requests from a chat application to cloud based service. QuickBlox Chat API connects your application to our powerful cloud communication platform, processing communication requests and facilitating instant messaging between two or more parties via mobile and web applications.
QuickBlox Chat API is built on XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol), which is an open source technology that enables the exchange of instant messaging and presence information in real time. Commonly used by major instant messaging apps like WhatsApp and others, XMPP provides a powerful real time chat API to support one‑to‑one and group chat experiences.
QuickBlox SDKs, which are offered in multiple languages, make the use of our Chat API even simpler. When you install our SDK into your application you are already powered for real time communicatiuickBlox SDKs, or you require server‑to‑servon. If your app’s programming language is not supported by Qer connection, you can use our Chat API directly to integrate QuickBlox functionality with your application.
QuickBlox Chat API connects your app to our powerful back‑end platform. QuickBlox’s cloud‑based communication platform is secure and scalable. When you use our robust infrastructure to help power your app’s communication, you can be sure of building a high‑performance and reliable chat service regardless of the size of your application.
