## Before you call it

1. Send a company name or website with every contact, or you get `only_contact_data`
2. Send only documented fields. New accounts get a 400 for unknown ones
3. Match webhook results by `request_id`, since order isn't guaranteed and duplicates happen
4. Poll no faster than every 30 seconds, as the not-ready response asks
5. Post an empty contact to read the credit balance at no cost
