Hi Bob,

Thanks for reaching out!

We're in the process of finalizing the API and the team is working hard
on getting the code ready; atm with near to complete functionality WIP
patches. Please be mindful of the fact that there is currently an
experimental API in glance and code that will change completely. As we
do not want to document these things, they are missing from the search
results of advanced search engines.

A good reference document is [1] . This spec has evolved over time and
has input from many a standards so I do not expect drastic changes
unless some security loophole is found during testing (Probability ~0.1).

Hope that helps.
