I'm not sure, but that doesn't even matter. The question is more about
how frequently you can query to see if it's been wiped. But that might
be irrelevant, depending on exactly how high the rate limits are - I
didn't check. (If you're allowed, say, 1500 calls per day, then you
could poll every minute and still be fine.)

But I only did a very cursory examination. A feasibility test, the
results of which are that I'd be confident putting this project in the
hands of a competent novice programmer.
