**APIs profiled:** 3

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.
