Is there Kakao Talk Messaging API which is equivalent to LINE's Messaging API?

Question

Is there Kakao Talk Messaging API which is equivalent to LINE's Messaging API?

LINE has "Messaging API" which allows 3rd party application to do following.

1. Auto-reply to message from LINE user
2. Push message to LINE user in an arbitrary timing

etc.

https://developers.line.me/en/services/messaging-api/

I'd like to do same thing with Kakao Talk, but I haven't been able to find 2 API to push message to Kakao Talk user in an arbitrary timing.

I studied Kakao Talk APIs in the Kakao Talk developer site, but I couldn't find the equivalent APIs...

https://developers.kakao.com/features/platform

Also, I found the stackoverflow question KakaoTalk API - Bot, which suggests that I can do this in the Plus Friends account.

So I created an app in the Plus Friend account from the link below. The page is in Korean only, so I tried to understand the contents with Google Translate...

https://center-pf.kakao.com/

I found an Smart Chat API to receive and auto-reply message between Plus Friend account and Kakao Talk user.

However, this API does not support push message feature...

Could someone please advise where I can find the API to push message to Kakao Talk user from 3rd party app?

Answer 1

I found that Kakao Talk does not disclose API for push message to Kakao Talk user to public. It is only available through their channel partner. So, I will close this question.
