_x000D_ _x000D_ Finally Facebook launched API for their messenger API for their messenger. This will allow us to create chat bots. In getting started guide, I need to setup webhook. This requires webserver which resides in specific domain and must use SSL connection. I have VPS which has static IP. I made self signed certificate and created simple Node JS web server which uses this certificate. First of all I need to verify token for webhook: app.get('/webhook/', function (req, res) { if (req.query['hub.verify_token'] === '') { res.send(req.query['hub.challenge']); } res.send('Error, wrong validation token'); }) Then I launched this server application and In my facebook app dashboard I click to Verify and Save button. It throws me this error message: This means that Facebook does not want to accept my self signed certificate. This brings a several questions: Do I need to use SSL certificates only provided by Certificate Authorities in order to work with facebook messenger? Working with Facebook messenger is far more difficult than Telegram.

_x000D_ You can use cloudflare to get https instead of self-sign. Or you can use https://letsencrypt.org
