Environment Setup Tips

• Store your API keys securely — avoid hardcoding keys in your source code. Use environment variables or secure vaults.
• Use HTTPS for all requests to ensure your data and credentials are encrypted.
• Set up a REST client in your IDE if supported, for faster development.
• Enable JSON formatting and syntax highlighting in your tools for better readability.

Additional Recommendations

• If you plan to automate API calls, use SDKs or HTTP libraries available for your programming language.
• Keep an eye on your API usage limits to avoid unexpected rate limiting.
