[
{
"id_watched_target":<long>,
"wayback_timestamp":<String>,
"landing_page_url":<String>,
"document_url":<String>,
"filename":<String>
},
<further documents>
]

"id_watched_target":1,
"wayback_timestamp":"20150303002015",
"landing_page_url":"http://www.thinknpc.org/publications/show-and-tell/",
"document_url":"http://www.thinknpc.org/publications/show-and-tell/show-and-tell_charities-polling-evidence-of-doing-good/?post-parent=13114",
"filename":"Show-and-tell_charities-polling-evidence-of-doing-good.pdf"

• There is a limit on the length of the posted JSON content which is currently 1MB.
