Response format

Every response returns JSON. List endpoints return paginated results:
{
  "data": [...],
  "pagination": {
    "page": 1,
    "limit": 50,
    "total": 1648,
    "has_more": true
  }
}
Single-item endpoints and non-paginated lists (categories, trending, history) return the data directly:
{
  "data": { ... }
}
