The JavaScript API can only interact with the GetFeedback web buttons and forms. If you want to use the API in your own application, use data collection with GetFeedback or integrate GetFeedback data with another platform then check out our Public API.
Using API Calls
To use our API calls, insert your command anywhere below the code for the original button widget as follows:
