REST API Integration Guide

IRON LAW: Read the Docs, Then Build, Then Handle Errors

1. Read the API documentation completely (auth, endpoints, rate limits, errors)
2. Get a successful request working in isolation (curl/Postman)
3. Build error handling BEFORE building features

Skipping step 1 wastes hours on trial-and-error. Skipping step 3
creates fragile integrations that break silently in production.
