If you have received an authentication token you can open the Yapster App via the following methods.


Using a “Universal Login Link”

A universal login link will either:

  1. Open the native App when opened on a mobile device where it is installed.

  2. Direct the user to a page with links to download the app or open it in a browser.

Unless you need to direct a user to a particular style of interface (for which see the following options) this is the type of URL that should be used to access Yapster.

Environment

URL Template

Production

https://app.yapsterchat.com/m.html?token=<auth token>

Development

https://devapp.yapsterchat.com/m.html?token=<auth token>


Using our Custom URL Protocol to open the Native App

On mobile devices our custom URL protocol can be used to open the native application (when it is installed on a users device), these URLs take the following forms:

Environment

URL Template

Production

comyapsterchatyapsterprod:///<auth token>

Development

comyapsterchatyapsterdev:///<auth token>


Logging in to our Web App

To open the full Yapster Web App simply navigate to a URL of the following format:

Environment

URL Template

Production

https://app.yapsterchat.com/?api-key=<auth token>

Development

https://devapp.yapsterchat.com/?api-key=<auth token>


Embedding our Web App in an IFrame

If, instead of redirecting a user to our full Web App interface you would rather present Yapster embedded within your own application you can simply add an additional URL query parameter of lite=yes.

Our URLs for embedding are therefore:

Production

https://app.yapsterchat.com/?lite=yes&api-key=<auth token>

Development

https://devapp.yapsterchat.com/?lite=yes&api-key=<auth token>
