Server-side scripting
Apideo is mainly used to communicate between browsers. An advanced security mode using tokens can be used to be sure that only authorized users send a certain kind or event, or claim a certain role.
However, for advanced applications, you might need to add some behaviour directly on the Apideo servers.
This feature is in private beta. If you want to access it, you will need a pro-account. Send us a mail to contact@apideo.com and we will open the access to server-side scripting.
Server-side scripting is performed in Javascript. There is one Javascript context per room.

The script is executed for every room of your Apideo key, so you will have to decide in the script what to run for the current room.
