Yeah, you don't want to do the work, no problem. There's just a couple of different ways to engage it. From an SDK perspective, this is just basically permissions.

And we have to work on, you know, kind of authorization and payment at the end of that, which is the trickiest part. And so, I'm not going to get into how, but that's the trickiest part. Yeah. And so, completing the task is the trick. Getting almost there... It's not that hard, but completing it.

And so that's where you need the partner to be like, yeah, sure, we want this traffic, and we're going to go create the service and send it through. Great. If you don't, no problem. But the answer on why not do the API is just these relationships are different. Partners want to work in different ways. One of the things we are trying to do, and I'm really reengaging...
