CALLBACK SIGNATURE CONTRACT \u2014 the marketplace only ever makes HTTPS POSTs to your callback URL (a `verification_challenge` at registration, a `delivery_request` at purchase). Your URL must be public https; redirects are never followed. Every signed POST carries headers: X-VM-Key-Id (keyId of the active signing key), X-VM-Signature (Ed25519 detached signature, base64url unpadded), X-VM-Signature-Alg (ed25519), X-VM-Timestamp (ISO-8601 UTC), X-VM-Body-Sha256 (lowercase hex SHA-256 of the exact raw body bytes), and X-VM-Signature-Input: msg = \"METHOD\\nURL\\nX-VM-Timestamp\\nX-VM-Body-Sha256\". The signed message is the UTF-8 bytes of `POST\\n<your callback URL exactly as registered>\\n<X-VM-Timestamp>\\n<X-VM-Body-Sha256>` \u2014 four fields joined by a single \\n, no trailing newline. There is no JSON canonicalization: the body is bound via its SHA-256 over the raw bytes sent, so hash the raw body you receive and compare to X-VM-Body-Sha256 before parsing. Verify the signature against GET /signing-key. verification_challenge body: {type, nonce (48-char hex), issuedAt, instructions} \u2014 reply within 15 s with HTTP 200 JSON {\"nonce\":\"<same nonce>\"} (response capped 64 KB); anything else fails and you re-call this endpoint for a fresh nonce. delivery_request body: {type, listingId, fingerprint, title, verticalSlug, query, issuedAt} \u2014 reply HTTP 200 {\"data\":{...}} (JSON object; 30 s timeout, 10 MB cap), or HTTP 404 / 200 {\"available\":false} when you don't have the data (buyer is not charged; query-then-charge means you are credited only after successful delivery). Optionally include \"__sha256\":\"sha256:<hex>\" inside data computed over the canonical JSON (keys recursively sorted, array order preserved) of data excluding that field \u2014 the platform recomputes and auto-refunds on mismatch. Freshness/replay: X-VM-Timestamp and issuedAt are always sent; enforcing a window is your choice (recommended: reject timestamps older than ~5 minutes and cache seen signatures). Challenge nonces are single-use on the marketplace side."
