Kakao
Kakao's developer platform bundles Kakao Login (an OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect social-login service) with KakaoTalk Sharing, Kakao Sync, and Social Plugins that let apps authenticate South Korean users and post messages into their KakaoTalk chats. Requests to kapi.kakao.com require a bearer access token from the OAuth flow, and while login and basic sharing are free, higher-volume messaging features are metered under Kakao's paid API plans.
