It is a place where you can configure your application, set up its most crucial functions, create all the necessary extensions, and display your app on the Marketplace.</p><h2 class="heading css-1679d3t"><a id="api-usage" href="#api-usage" class="reference css-180507a"><a href="/docs/getting-started#api-usage"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>API Usage</a></h2><p>If you鈥檙e looking for precise details about your API calls and requests, refer to the API Usage reports.</p><p>API Usage is a tool for reporting and managing various development-related activities in your organization. The interface combines all the information about your requests usage, the API you called, and the app that sent the request. It includes a visual representation of your API use and aggregated and raw data reports for your API calls.</p><h2 class="heading css-1679d3t"><a id="text-api" href="#text-api" class="reference css-180507a"><a href="/docs/getting-started#text-api"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Text API</a></h2><p>We want to provide you with a technology that allows you to build applications that meet all the customers' current needs and follow all the trends set by the world. Text API is open to the public and enables the building of powerful products using various text operations. <a href="/docs/text">Learn</a> what the Text Universe can already give you, and <a target="_blank" href="https://text.com/universe">take a look</a> at what we're about to offer soon.</p><h2 class="heading css-1679d3t"><a id="messaging" href="#messaging" class="reference css-180507a"><a href="/docs/getting-started#messaging"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Messaging</a></h2><p>Many LiveChat applications built upon the Platform need to use our API. For that reason, we make it accessible and let developers experiment with it. You can choose between:</p><ul><li><a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/agent-chat-api">Agent Chat API</a></li><li><a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/customer-chat-api">Customer Chat API</a></li></ul><p>Together, the <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/agent-chat-api">Agent Chat API</a> and the <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/customer-chat-api">Customer Chat API</a> create the <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging">Messaging APIs</a>. It is a full set of methods to use either as an agent or as a customer. We divide it, though, to make it more use-case-specific. The distinction is intuitive; when you want to join a chat as an agent, use the Agent Chat API. To interact as a customer, use the Customer Chat API.</p><p>These two sets of APIs are very versatile. The Agent Chat API lets you build your custom Agent App, as well as browser chat archives, or ban customers. With the use of the Customer Chat API, you can build a custom chat widget. Both APIs allow for interactions, such as joining a chat, posting messages, etc.</p><p>If Messaging APIs seem overwhelming, or you don't have time to play with them, <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/chat-sdk">Chat SDK</a> comes to the rescue. It was designed to allow developers to build apps quickly. It comes with a method template for sending plain text messages. Based on that method, you can easily build new methods.</p><p>The Platform also provides two Software Development Kits, <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/go-sdk">LiveChat Go SDK</a>, written in Go, and <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/js-sdk">LiveChat JS SDK</a>, written in Typescript. They are tools for developers to build external backend apps which extend LiveChat features. The SDKs make it easy to use the <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/agent-chat-api">Agent Chat API</a>, the <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/messaging/customer-chat-api">Customer Chat API</a>, and the <a href="/docs/getting-started#management">Configuration API</a>.</p><h2 class="heading css-1679d3t"><a id="management" href="#management" class="reference css-180507a"><a href="/docs/getting-started#management"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Management</a></h2><p>The <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/management">Configuration API</a> is a service for storing license configurations. It can be used to build complex integrations or to configure resources directly via the API.</p><p>The Configuration API allows for:</p><ul><li>Properties setup to store information about chats or events.</li><li>Webhook management to connect LiveChat with different services and react immediately to the things happening in the chat.</li><li>Bot agent configuration to connect LiveChat with AI solutions.</li></ul><h2 class="heading css-1679d3t"><a id="interacting-with-data" href="#interacting-with-data" class="reference css-180507a"><a href="/docs/getting-started#interacting-with-data"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Interacting with data</a></h2><p>One of the most extensively used sections in the Agent App is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.livechat.com/help/reporting-options-available-in-livechat/">Reports</a>. We provide several types of reports which help managers with the analysis. You can measure chat satisfaction and duration, keep track of agents' activity, or compare time periods to observe trends.</p><p>Again, this is just a tiny bit of what's available in terms of reporting. Yet, we're aware that what we offer does not cover every single business case. This is where <a target="_blank" href="https://platform.text.com/docs/data-reporting">Reports API</a> comes into play. It serves as a set of tools to create apps that interact on the server side. With this API, it's possible to design exactly what you need.</p><h2 class="heading css-1679d3t"><a id="chat-widget-solutions" href="#chat-widget-solutions" class="reference css-180507a"><a href="/docs/getting-started#chat-widget-solutions"><span class="icon icon-link"></span></a>Chat Widget solutions</a></h2><p>Suppose you want to integrate your website or application with the Platform, monitor and interact with your users, or build advanced custom solutions.
