Quickstart
This guide will get you all set up and ready to use the MeWe API. We'll cover how to make your first API request. We'll also look at where to go next to find all the information you need to take full advantage of our REST API.
Create developer account
To build applications within the MeWe ecosystem, you’ll first need to join the MeWe Developer Program. Head over to developer settings, sign in with your MeWe account, and apply to become a developer. Once your application has been reviewed and approved, you’ll be able to create, configure, and manage your applications—and ultimately publish them for the entire MeWe community.
Create an application
Before making your first API request, you need to create an application and choose what permissions you need. You can do that under developer settings. Each app will have a unique API key, which you can use to make requests to the API.
Types of applications
We are working on three types of applications developers would be able to create:
Embedded App
An application that can be embedded in MeWe's interface to provide specific functionality or enhance existing features without requiring users to leave the mewe app.
Standalone App
A full-featured application that can be built as a mobile app or web service. These apps can use MeWe's API to access user data and provide a complete user experience.
Agent (coming soon)
Backend application that is a bot which can be added e.g to groups or personal chats to provide specific functionality or automate tasks.
MeWe Store
After your app is ready and published, you can opt-in to promote it in the MeWe Store. Later, Agents will be available in the MeWe Store as well.
