@tasn, do you have a client library? PS. On a side note, it would be very nice to have a standard for webhooks similarly to OAuth. We're designing a solution for accepting various webhooks and the variety of negotiation schemes require

I guess every public internet policy should now include a clause such as "We reserve the right to not do any business with you if we don't like you, regardless of any other provision of the policy". At least, it will be hones
