App Cloud API Reference

FeedHenry provides a cloud side API to access cloud hosted functionality such as data storage, caching, security, authentication, and more.

If you are not familiar with our client-server architecture, please refer to our Introductory material.

Using the API

The FeedHenry JavaScript API is provided in the fh namespace and uses a common convention for most functions, which takes the format:

fh.something(options, callback(err, res));

where options is an ordinary JavaScript object. The callback parameters are error & response. For a successful callback response, return null or undefined for the err param.

The full list of available functions is as follows:
