What API? There is no API, there is only signed events in relays. For example can publish a message to a chachi chat with nak:

nak -k 9 -c message -t h=groupid relay.url

cool, that you can do that with Nak. but that is CLI

let's say we don't want to build another chat UI inside of an existing nostr client that does other stuff. i just want to auto auth, client to client. how do you suggest we do that? Right now every client requires a user to go through a NIP-07 auth process.

Lots of repeat logins when switching from web app to web app really sucks ass.

If a client is willing to provide NIP98, then let one client programmatically sign into another, is that what the spec is for? or did i read it totally wrong?

If you want to make a chat client you use NIP-29. There are other clients that do it, like https://chat29.pages.dev/groups.0xchat.com'zcfCdcfn7b27TYtw/ and https://groups.nip29.com and 0xchat etc -- am I misunderstanding you?

If you want to embed an HTML client somewhere else then there is not a NIP for it because it's not advisable at all, but you would have to use an
