Is sending and receiving messages through facebook messenger still limited to the official app or did they add back an API to replace the old XMPP interface?

Facebook launched an API for this at F8 this year https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform

I think that is different from what he is asking. I believe MaddoScientisto was talking about and API that could be used to create unofficial clients. The API you provided appears to be designed to create bots, and insufficient for custom clients.
