Some questions about the API Webhooks

Question

hello guys! Beginner with the qualtrics API here, I have a few questions about the webhooks part and would be really gratefull if a few of them could be answered:The webhooks page and the guide to webhooks has a few differences on the returns, which one is the most up to date from them? Normal Webhook page (https://api.qualtrics.com/instructions/ZG9jOjg3NzY2Ng-webhooks), Guide webhook page (https://api.qualtrics.com/instructions/ZG9jOjg3NzY3MQ-retrieve-survey-responses-in-real-time#fields-returned-by-listener)I didn't really understand the use of the recipientID return from the normal page, unlike the others, it doesn't has any function based around it.Is there anyway I can get a sandbox, or at least an example account where I can get one API key?Thanks!

1) I checked out the page source to try and find a copyright date, but the source is blinded so no luck there. They're both under the new documentation rather than the old, probably updated around the same time. What discrepancies to do you see that are throwing you off?2) I'm guessing the RecipientId is used for other calls. Much like if you want to export a survey's responses, you have to create the export file (one API call), use the exportId to check the percentage of export completion (another call), and finally pass the [surveyId and] exportId to actually view/download the result set. Your get your exportId back from the first call and use it in the next two.3) You'd have to burn a Qualtrics account to get a true sandbox.... You can get an API key easily by logging into an account, top-right corner click your icon and choose Account Settings, 4th tab 'Qualtrics IDs', right-side API section, click 'Generate Token'. Pair this with the account email and you're good to go.Hope I was able to shed some light on these for you!
