Potential Errors

• 400 Bad Request: Triggered by invalid or missing parameters.

• 404 Not Found: Returned if the requested resource cannot be found.

Usage Guidelines

1. Authentication: Always include your API key in the access-token header.
2. Pagination: Use page and page_size to navigate through large datasets.
3. Filtering: Leverage team_id, status, and date filters to narrow down results.
4. Data Enrichment: Use includes to fetch additional details like inspection data or files.
5. Advanced Filtering: Apply data_filter to refine results further (requires includes=data).
6. Error Handling: Handle 400, 401, and 404 errors gracefully in your application.
