A Client ID Metadata Document Service is a web service through which developers can acquire a stable URL to a Client ID Metadata Document. This service MAY expire clients from time to time, and MAY require developers to provide additional information about the client being developed.


The only requirement on Client ID Metadata Document Services is that they MUST
return valid Client ID Metadata Documents for the `client_id`s that they
provision, or return a status code indicating an error response (e.g., 404 Not
Found). How a Client ID Metadata Document Service creates or stores metadata
documents is outside of the scope of this document.
