What is a Messaging API | What are its Benefits?

Definition

A messaging API is a robust tool used by developers to enable two-way communication between the app and its users. Additionally, an API helps them to create interactive user experiences by integrating multiple messaging functionalities into a single interface.

And by using a secure messaging API, developers can relieve themselves from the burden of developing a secure backend system for chat apps, as our APIs and SDKs come packed with E2E and AES encryption mechanisms.
