    Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown
    fields are rejected with 400.


    Send Accept: text/markdown to get markdown instead of JSON.


    Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and
    empty nested lists are not sent.


    x-credits is what one call costs. When x-per-items is set, a call costs
    x-credits for every x-per-items items it returns, and at least x-credits.


    When a response has a cursor, send it back with the same input to get the
    next page.
