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 ?

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 😄
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.
Haven’t seen any paid sdk for this use case.. there are few which i know but they are generally used for customer support.
