Because 2FA is for amateurs

Best Practices (Worst Practices)

🔄 Retry Logic

Never retry. First attempt is final. Deal with it.

⚡ Caching

We cache your requests and return old data randomly

🔒 Security

Store API keys in plain text, preferably in public repos

📊 Monitoring

Don't monitor. Ignorance is bliss.
