Thanks for putting this forward Mark.
Could you please split this into two separate feature request threads? I appreciate they are both related to the API, but feature requests work best when they are for one specific thing.
Also, if you vote for them, that will help us to prioritise them better.
For more on how we manage request requests at Breww, please see 💡 Posting ideas & feature requests for Breww 💙
Cheers
