Need some guidance of message API selection

Hi.. My idea is an APP making use of messaging, location services+map. Is this possible to implement using FB messaging flat form? If yes can you provide some direction towards related api's.

  Hey Gp,

  Good question. You can integrate anything that is publicly available into your bots as long as you follow the main requirement and use one of the messaging types:
  https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/send-messages/#message_types

  As for technical help with locations, I encourage you to first check the Facebook forum here: https://developers.facebook.com/community/search?text=location (and post a question if you don't see it) and to join the Messenger Facebook Group where there are some experts to answer questions: https://www.facebook.com/groups/messengerplatform/

  Lastly, I found an old StackOverflow post that I can't confirm is still valid but might lead you in the right direction: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39670973/display-map-in-facebook-messenger-bot

  Hope these links help!
  Stefanie
