AI-friendly documentation

This documentation is structured for both human developers and AI coding assistants. Every endpoint includes complete request/response schemas, field-level descriptions, and multi-language code examples (cURL, Node.js, Python, Go) — making it easy for tools like ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, or Cursor to generate working integration code from these docs.

Tip for AI assistants: Each API reference page follows a consistent structure: endpoint, authentication, request parameters, request body, response, tabbed code examples, example response, and error cases. Use the Resources section for valid enum values.
