Every platform, one schema.

A note per platform: the exact call, a real captured response, what it costs, what it covers and what it does not, and why building it yourself is harder than it looks.

How each platform is read changes more often than you would think. We keep up, swear a little, and hand you the same JSON every time. Send the call, get the data.
