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.

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.

  • Facebook's developer relations folks have been pretty clear that no one gets a special deal. We'll see if that's true - Skype's integration should die in the next few weeks if it is. – ceejayoz May 31 '15 at 01:45
  • @ceejayoz: thanks you all for clear information. The only thing I find strange is Skype did not announce anything about deprecated this function in future. – Thanh Hoang Cao Jun 01 '15 at 02:42

    you would be surprised how many developers did not know about the upgrade that was announced a year ago and wondered why their stuff did not work anymore ;) – andyrandy Jun 01 '15 at 07:09
