Developers
Inline currently exposes two API entry points.
Bot HTTP API
- Best for simpler bot workflows and alerts.
- Request/response over HTTP.
- Good fit for lightweight automations.
Full Realtime API
- Best for full two-way interactions and richer bot behavior.
- WebSocket RPC with live state sync.
- Recommended when your bot behaves like an active participant in chats.
See: Realtime API
