Free Open Source Chat Messenger API

We welcome all developers to use our API and source code to create FishingCab-like messaging applications on our platform free of charge.

The FishingCab API allow you to build your own customized chat messenger. It is 100% open for all developers who wish to create messenger app.

Even if you're looking for maximum customization, you don't have to create your app from scratch. Try GitHub open source code from third-party developers that makes it easy to build fast, secure and feature-rich messenger apps.

FishingCab takes care of all network implementation details, server updates and data storage, so that you can dedicate more time to design, responsive interfaces and beautiful animations.

FishingCab API supports all FishingCab features and makes developing messenger apps a breeze on any platform. It can be used on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux and virtually any other system. The API is open source and compatible with virtually any programming language.

In order to ensure consistency and security across the FishingCab ecosystem, all third-party client apps must comply with the API Terms of Service.

We provide a free, fast and clean REST API that's easy to use, returns JSON and conforms to the HATEOAS and HAL principles.

For the benefit of developers, the API provides numerous endpoints. Keep in mind that all endpoints return JSON and support both http and https.

The root url for API requests is https://api.fishingcab.com/Api/ and for content download is https://cdn.fishingcab.com/public/uploads/

Once your app has been completed, then please send an email at [email protected] for get your app API ID

If you developed your app for OS like Android, Windows or IOS etc then please be sure your app approved from store like play store, windows store and app store etc before requesting App API ID. In case your app is browser base or not for stores then no need for approval.

Please note that emails are checked by a human, so automatically generated emails will be detected and banned.

Everyone is welcome to use open source code. We have included a sample API id with the code. This API id is limited on the server side and is not suitable for apps released to end-users — using it for anything but testing purposes will result in the error for your users. It is necessary that you obtain your own API id before you publish your app. Below is app sample api id for development and testing purpose only:


                app_public_key = demo_public_key

                app_secret_key = demo_secret_key

FishingCab request response always JSON format. There's no restriction on what programming language you are using to develop your messenger app.

You can consume FishingCab API in your favorite programming language like Javascript, Node.js, Java, PHP, Python, .NET Core, C++, Kotlin and Ruby etc in a style that suits you.
