Usage of AlchemyAPI setCustomParameters

Question

I am trying Alchemy API for testing sentiment analysis.

I am able to run basic examples, however I did not get where exactly setCustomParameters method is used. The full package name of this method is

com.alchemyapi.api.AlchemyAPI_Params.setCustomParameters`

and it is used to set parameters. For example:

AlchemyAPI_TextParams conceptParams = new AlchemyAPI_TextParams();
conceptParams.setCustomParameters(?????) 

I could not get any documentation for this API.

Please help me if somebody used this API already.

I work at AlchemyAPI.

The setCustomParameters method is used to adjust undocumented or customer-specific parameters in AlchemyAPI.

You don't need to invoke this method in normal use of the SDK.

All the important functionality is exposed explicitly in the SDK (setOutputMode, setSourceText, etc.), and documented at http://www.alchemyapi.com/api/.
