200-901 Cisco Platforms and Development Practice Question
A developer is building a Cisco Webex bot that needs to automatically respond to messages. Which THREE resources/endpoints are essential for this functionality? (Choose three.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Rooms API
Essential endpoints are Messages (to send/receive), Webhooks (to get notified of events), and Rooms (to interact with rooms). People is useful but not essential for bot functionality.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Rooms API
Why this is correct
The Rooms API lets the bot enumerate and inspect Webex spaces, supplying the roomId that every message response must target. Without it, the bot cannot determine which conversation to post into, so it satisfies the requirement to respond automatically to messages received across multiple rooms.
- ✗
People API
Why it's wrong here
The People API returns directory profile data about users; it does not receive or deliver bot messages. It is tempting because bots often resolve sender identities, but that is supplementary enrichment, whereas the Messages API and webhooks are what actually receive and post message content.
- ✗
Licenses API
Why it's wrong here
The Licenses API reports Webex service entitlements for users and organisations; it plays no part in receiving or responding to messages. It is tempting because bot deployment may require licence checks, but that is administrative provisioning, not the message-handling endpoints the bot's runtime depends on.
- ✓
Webhooks API
Why this is correct
The Webhooks API lets the bot receive real-time message events rather than polling, satisfying the automatic-response requirement. Registering a webhook subscribes the bot to message-created events in a Webex space, so incoming messages trigger immediate callbacks. This push mechanism is essential for timely, event-driven replies.
- ✓
Messages API
Why this is correct
The Messages API is essential because it lets the bot both receive message events and post replies into Webex spaces, satisfying the automatic-response requirement. Without it, the bot cannot read incoming messages or send answers, so no conversational functionality is possible.
