Yes help is needed 😅

Is this part of edge APIs? I was looking for this in the regular APIs and could not find it.

[matthewelwell]

@existentialcoder well, it's both in fact, but since the Edge API is currently closed source, you'll only be able to work on the core API for now. The endpoint is defined here.
