JavaScript API
The Live ConnectJavaScript API, together with the REST API, enables apps to read, update, and share user data by using the JavaScript programming language. The JavaScript API provides methods for signing users in and out, getting user status, subscribing to events, creating UI controls, and calling the Representational State Transfer (REST) API.
The WL object is a global object that encapsulates all functions of the JavaScript API. Your app uses the WL object to call all of the JavaScript API functions.
