    • Implement client class for facilitating communications with the API that can use GET / POST (Form) | POST (JSON)
    • Separate concerns in reusable classes for each endpoint
    • Minor optimizations for properly fetching the key
    • Add customer attribute to mark customers as legitimate or spam users for easier cleanup
    • Add cron job to automate checking customers. Subject to change if better endpoint is found as it gives a lot of false positives.
