Live API

In this area you can configure the Live API service. This service is an add-on feature of our platform. Before you can subscribe this add-on you will need to be enrolled in a paid plan.

This add-on will allow you to receive all the signals your mobile and web apps generate and handle them in your own servers. This is a crucial tool for integrations between Notificare and your own infrastructure or 3rd party software.

Under the Settings menu, you should start by clicking in Services:
