How do I get the publication date of a collection using either storefront or admin API? The only thing I found was via the admin rest api here: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-04/resources/collectionlisting Is this the only way? I have tried subscribing to collection_listing/add, collection_listing/update, collection_listing/remove webhooks, but the update and remove webhooks weren’t triggering at all when I change publilcation date on my dev store.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
