Evaluation pathway

  1. Define endpoints, fields, freshness, and expected request volume.
  2. Read the live source and confirm access, terms, limits, and version.
  3. Test representative inputs, errors, latency, pagination, and data quality.
  4. Plan monitoring, retries, caching, version pinning, and a fallback.
