Windows 10: Where is documentation of MsnArc API? the one that allows to get the spotlight image

Hello,

I have a Winforms application that get a spotlight image in order to use as the background of the application. To accomplish this task, I have used the code in this page: https://github.com/xyx0826/WinSpotlightDownloader/blob/master/WinSpotlightDownloader/MsnArcApi.cs


It works, but I need more control over what kind of images I will retrieve.


I have searched in Google but I did not find any site that explains the API's arc.msn.com, such as /v3/Delivery/Placement.


Any help will be appreciated


Thanks

Jaime
