info:
  title: Backendless REST Cache Users API
  description: REST API for the Backendless backend-as-a-service platform. Every request is addressed to a specific application using its application id and REST API key, both carried as path segments immediately after the host. Authenticated operations additionally require the user-token returned by the login endpoint, sent in the user-token request header. This specification covers the core documented services - Data, Users, Files, Messaging and Push, Geo, Cache, Atomic Counters, and Cloud Code custom service invocation.
