Inrupt Change Notifications API (ESS Notification Delivery Service)

The ESS Notification Delivery Service lets an authorized agent subscribe to change events on Pod resources and on Access Requests/Grants, and have them delivered as signed webhooks to a remote HTTPS endpoint. Subscriptions are created and managed over a REST API described by a first-party OpenAPI 3.1.0 document the service serves itself at /openapi. Fourteen operations cover protocol negotiation, the JWKS used to verify outbound message signatures, user subscriptions, system subscriptions, delivery-failure listings, and reprocessing of failed deliveries.
