📚 Lessons Learned

⚠️

API uses 'slug_id' not 'slug'

Despite documentation saying to use 'slug', the actual API requires 'slug_id' for report lookups.

⚠️

Dates are MM/DD/YYYY format

The API returns dates in MM/DD/YYYY format instead of ISO 8601. Parser must handle this.

✅

No authentication required

This is one of the easiest federal APIs to work with - completely open access.
