Why Teams Switch from Linq to Blooio
Linq built an iMessage API as a side feature. We built our entire company around providing the best messaging API for businesses.

Comprehensive public documentation, better error messages, webhook replay, detailed logs, and OpenAPI spec. Everything developers need.
Transparent Pricing

Typing indicators, read receipts, iMessage effects, message reactions, RCS support, and more — all included.
Better Support
Near-instant support via messaging. No ticket systems, no waiting days for responses. Real humans, real time.

API Features Linq Doesn't Have
Webhook Replay & Advanced Debugging
Failed webhooks are a pain. Blooio lets you replay any webhook event with one click, view full request/response logs, filter by status code, and debug issues without recreating test scenarios.
Webhook Logs
Real-time webhook delivery monitoring with one-click replay
✓Message Cancellation
Need to cancel a queued message? Blooio makes it simple with a DELETE request. Perfect for scheduling systems or preventing duplicate sends.
✓Contact Capabilities API
Know before you send. Check if a contact supports iMessage, SMS, or RCS before sending your message. Optimize your messaging strategy based on real capabilities.
✓Advanced Typing Indicators
Create natural conversation flows with precise typing indicator control. Start and stop typing indicators programmatically for better user experience.
DELETE /v1/api/typing/{identifier}
✓iMessage Effects & Reactions
Send messages with invisible ink, balloons, confetti, and other iMessage effects. React to messages with tapbacks (love, like, laugh, etc.) just like native iMessage.
