Apps

The Apps API has methods for creating, and managing apps. Each app has a type which controls its functionality. In API responses, app types are always identified with their guid, but in requests (for instance when creating apps) you can also specify their type name.

`chat`	`d65dd4bc-418e-403c-9f56-f9cf4da931ed`
`chat_room`	`edb400ac-839b-45a7-b2a8-6a01820d1c44`
