Mobile platform guide

Mobile routes live under the mobile/ path segment after the site prefix. Example: /fn/mobile/home.

Common querystrings

Most mobile endpoints accept:

Param	Values (typical)	Purpose
`platform`	`ios`, `android`	Native platform
`device`	`phone`, `tablet`	Form factor
`app_v`	semver string	Feature gating / payload shape

Add endpoint-specific params (e.g. fields, filter, tag) per handler docs below.

Fox News (`fn/mobile/...`)

Endpoint	Path	Description
Home	`mobile/home`	Main homepage — CMS/Spark, bigtop, section buckets, trending topics/articles, live updates, ads, webviews, elections, game hub
App config	`mobile`	Global config — Prebid, DFP, feature flags, version gates. `platform`, `device`, `app_v`
Article	`mobile/article`, `mobile/article/{id}`	Article view; Spark by id or URL filter. `fields`, `platform`, `device`, `filter`
Liveblog	`mobile/liveblog/{slug}`	Liveblog by slug. `platform`, `device`
Deeplink	`mobile/deeplink`	Resolves `foxnews.com` URLs → app-style payloads. `target`, `platform`, `device`, `app_v`
For You	`mobile/for-you`	Recommendations when `account_id` set; else login gate
Profile	`mobile/profile`	Saved/profile — shape depends on `profile_v`

Read	`mobile/read`	Read / “Hurricane HQ” — same framework, different layout + `inject.js`

Mobile frameworks (comparison)

Framework	How it works	Used for
`mobile.tab`	`config.properties` + `config.order` — ordered components and feeds	FN Listen, FB For You
`mobile.spark.tab`	Loads Spark layout, regions, mods, optional `inject.js`	FW home/read
`mobile.ott`	Versioned OTT JSON config	FN often custom `index.js`

Testing tips

Always pass platform, device, app_v that match real app versions when reproducing production bugs.
Use ?debugga=mapping,source on JSON-heavy mobile responses to trace Spark vs Moxie shaping.
