PlayFab Server API

The PlayFab Server API is the server-trusted REST surface for custom game servers and trusted backends. It mirrors much of the Client API but operates with the title's developer secret key and can act on any player, grant items, adjust currencies, modify read-only data, and issue server-authoritative writes.
