Answer 1

This is the response I received from them the other day:

Hello Chris, the API was not really opened for public consumption. We pushed the docs live in an attempt to get feedback but we had to shut it down since we saw activity. We will write back the people who signed up for the beta list when we are ready.

Please fill out this form to get on the beta list.

I wish they’d note this on the docs.
