REST API vs SDK: What to use for your website

RumbleTalk has two different interfaces for developers. You can use our SDK or REST API to build integrations into RumbleTalk. This post will break down which one is best for your project and why.

REST API vs SDK

This can be a confusing topic, so we’ll try to break it down in an easy way.

First of all, what is an API? An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of rules and standards that describe how to interact with another program or service. It’s like how you use different apps on your phone. You don’t have to know all the details about how each app works but instead just know what buttons do and how they work together. You’d probably never use WhatsApp for talking on the phone; instead you’d go directly into Google Hangouts or Skype for chatting with friends (or family).

An SDK is similar but focuses on developing applications rather than integrating them into existing ones—like building an app from scratch versus adding features onto one already built by someone else!

The REST API/SDK interface makes RumbleTalk more accessible

While there are many different ways to integrate RumbleTalk, the REST API/SDK interface is the gateway to our platform. It’s a set of rules that define how you can access your data and allows developers to build integrations on top of RumbleTalk.

The SDK provides access to all features within RumbleTalk through APIs, which allow for easy integration into any application or platform. With this method, it’s important that developers know what they’re getting into before starting work with any software company. This is especially important because there are many different types of projects out there.

For developers, the REST API/SDK allows you to build integrations on top of RumbleTalk

The SDK gives you access to all of our features by adding them directly into your app. With the RumbleTalk REST API, however, it gives third-party integrations a chance at working with those same core features—conversations, messages, and channels—as well as additional ones like group chats and audio calls.

The SDK is a code library that gives you access to RumbleTalk features by adding it to your app

SDKs are used by developers to add features to their apps, allowing them to use the platform’s services and communicate with other users in real-time. For example, if you’re building an application for sports teams or fitness centers, it might make sense for them not only want access but also control over their own user accounts. Therefore, they can manage users’ profiles, log out users who have been inactive for too long, and more.

The REST API allows for third-party integrations into RumbleTalk’s core features like conversations, messages, and channels. It also gives you access to the API so that you can build an app on top of it. This is in contrast with SDKs, which are code libraries that give you access to these features by adding it to your app.

Using the right tool for the job will make your integration simpler and more successful

So, which is better for your integration? It depends on what you’re trying to do. For example: If you want to embed RumbleTalk in your own app, then the SDK or REST API would be a good option. But if you want to build an external service that pushes content from another source into RumbleTalk conversations or channels (as new messages), then SDK would be the better option.

Mastering the Art of Hosting a Successful Online Q&A Session in 3 Easy Steps

If you’re looking to host an online Q&A session, it can be tempting to dive right into the details of your project. Before you get too far down the road, be sure that everything is ready and set up in advance. So, when it’s time to get started, everything goes smoothly. Here are three easy steps for hosting a successful Q&A session during your online event.

Online chat and Q&A session: tools that can greatly enhance the online event experience

By incorporating RumbleTalk Chat and Q&A into virtual event, organizers can boost audience engagement and gather valuable feedback in real-time.

With RumbleTalk, attendees can connect with one another through instant messaging and group discussions, fostering a sense of community and facilitating networking opportunities. Additionally, the chat feature can be customized to match the event’s branding and can be moderated to ensure a positive and productive environment.

The Q&A feature takes engagement to the next level by allowing attendees to ask questions directly to the speaker or panelists. This interactive element not only encourages participation but also allows for meaningful discussions and insights. Organizers can prioritize questions and moderate the discussion to ensure a seamless experience.

One host.

One questioner. One topic, and one speaker to answer it all.

That’s the ideal scenario, but sometimes things don’t go according to plan. Maybe your guest speaker isn’t as experienced as you’d like them to be. Or, maybe they’re nervous about being on stage in front of an audience full of people who want answers from them–and not just any questions about their favorite TV show or whatever else you might expect from a Q&A session.

Whatever the reason may be for why your guest speaker isn’t performing up to par at their scheduled time slot (or even worse, getting called offstage early), there’s still plenty that can be done so that no one feels left out.

One moderator.

q&a session

The first step in hosting a Q&A session is to ensure that there is a moderator in the chat room. It’s easy to get confused when there’s no moderator. In addition, this can lead to confusion among participants and make it difficult for them to follow along with the conversation. If possible, consider using a guest moderator instead of having someone from your company do all of the work himself/herself.

With RumbleTalk, you can manually add a chat moderator. To do this, go to the admin panel. Click Settings > Users. Add a new user and type in a username. Choose to give the moderator access to all chat rooms or just the one you’re using for the Q&A session.

One topic.

There are many ways to structure a Q&A session. But, one of the simplest is to have only one topic for your audience. The best way to ensure that this happens is by keeping it focused on one specific issue or question and then answering that question in full. For example, if there’s a common theme among all of your questions about technology or business, you can organize them into something like: “What are some tips for hiring?” Or even better yet: “How do I get started with my new product?

If you’re discussing multiple topics at the same time, you can disperse your audience into multiple chat rooms. Each chat room should have a moderator to oversee the conversations. To do this, add chat rooms in your admin panel and assign moderators specifically to these chat rooms only.

Make it easy and simple to get started with a Q&A session!

When hosting one, it’s essential that you have the right tools and resources at hand so participants can easily participate. This will help them stay focused on the content of your presentation while also giving them an opportunity to ask questions during their free time. You want them to feel comfortable enough that they can ask any question without hesitation or fear of embarrassment.

It would help if you also had something for people who may not be able to attend in person but still want answers from the expert panelists (a phone or computer).

So, make sure that whatever method you choose for recording sessions meets all of these requirements:

  • A clear goal for how this session will benefit participants (e.g., “We’ll learn how social media affects business growth”)
  • A clear topic sentence (e.g., “How do companies use social media?”)
  • An interesting and clear chat host

Manage productive Q&A sessions with the help of RumbleTalk

At the end of the day, a Q&A session is just like any other event. It takes time to plan and organize, but once it’s done you’ll have a great time! We hope this article has given you some ideas and inspiration on making your next one even better than last time. This can help everyone get what they want out of it.
