DM and Chat API Question
Dear all, ( I am non tech guy) question out of curiosity.
Does DM functions based on Chat API or DM ka kuch alag structure hota hai ?
For ex >> Twitter or Grapevine, DM chalane k liye are they using Chat API or what ?

websockets if you want it to be instant/bidirectional flow of data

Thanks bhai for answering. Are websockets paid like APIs ? Or we can develop at our own ? Jaise chat APIs can be bought and integrated with app. Similary websockets can we buy ?

You can use socket io to get real time messages(or firestore for POC) and FCM to send notifications on messages.. i will recommend to build the APIs by yourself in node js, socket io implementation is pretty straightforward.. we used similar tech in koo also with a good scale.
Havenβt seen any paid sdk for this use case.. there are few which i know but they are generally used for customer support.

Thanks for such meaningful response. And some more insights ππ»ππ»

Nahi bhai, its not something you can shop around, these are tech concepts that you to implement in a programming language of your choice which implements the chat server π
