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.
