Frontend API

The frontend API is used by the widget to fetch the user profile, notifications settings and messages.

You might need to use it if you want to build your own widget, or list the users messages somewhere else out of the widget.

The frontend API endpoint is: https://api.notifuse.com/front/ and the data is sent as JSON.
