Estimate Audience size

If you have the structure of the audience, but have not created it yet, and would like to estimate it's size, you can use this endpoint. It returns the size estimation for an audience (if available and if supported). If the size cannot be estimated, an error is returned. This endpoint is resource-intensive, this is why the bulk workflow is not supported.
