After a review of the higher-spin holographic dualities I will discuss some recent developments in the subject and present the complete holographically reconstructed cubic action of the minimal higher-spin theory in any dimension. The action presented gives the unique solution one would obtain from solving the Noether procedure up to the quartic order. We will conclude discussing flat limit, quantum corrections in higher-spin theories and further future directions.
