Chatfuel
Chatfuel is a no-code AI-powered chatbot and business-automation platform for conversational commerce across Meta-owned messaging channels — WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, TikTok, and an embeddable website chat widget. An official Meta Business Partner, Chatfuel lets teams build automated flows and Fuely AI agents that qualify leads, answer customer questions, take bookings, run re-engagement campaigns, and hand off to live agents. Its developer surface is deliberately small and has been shrinking: the single documented HTTP operation is a Contacts API on panel.chatfuel.com that imports up to 1,000 WhatsApp numbers into an automation with a Bearer account token. The older Broadcasting API (api.chatfuel.com) and Dashboard API (dashboard.chatfuel.com/api) still respond, but Chatfuel retired their documentation along with the whole docs.chatfuel.com help center during 2026, leaving no reference, no deprecation notice and no redirect. A live GraphQL gateway runs at panel.chatfuel.com/graphql with introspection disabled, and a Swagger route on the API host is walled behind Google SSO. Chatfuel publishes no OpenAPI, no AsyncAPI, no first-party SDK and no MCP server.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Chatfuel the way a machine reads it — 7 machine-readable artifacts across 3 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Chatfuel scores 40.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 5/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Chatfuel
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Chatfuel. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 3
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Chatfuel Contacts API
The only documented Chatfuel API operation as of 2026-08-13. POST https://panel.chatfuel.com/api/contacts/{automation_id}/whatsapp/ imports a batch of up to 1,000 WhatsApp phone...
Chatfuel Broadcasting API
HTTP API for sending any block or flow from a bot to a user via a POST request, including targeting users by attribute. Historically rate limited to 25 requests per second per b...
Chatfuel Dashboard API
HTTP API to programmatically create and modify bots and pages — create bots, clone bot content, generate role-based invite links, and bind/unbind bots to Facebook pages. Authent...
Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITSSecurity Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

The organization behind the API

This is an independent, third-party profile of Chatfuel, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
