The ApproveAssignment operation approves the results of a completed assignment.
Approving an assignment initiates two payments from the Requester's Amazon.com account: the Worker that submitted the results is paid the reward specified in the HIT, and Mechanical Turk fees are debited. If the Requester's account does not have adequate funds for these payments, the call to ApproveAssignment will return an exception, and the approval will not be processed.
