## Notes for agents

- Auth is the query parameter `api`, not an Authorization header.
- See [/statuses.md](/statuses.md) for numeric trade status plus `escrow_status` / `release_date`.
- Prefer GET /v2/search-items-by-name over v1.
- Do not use GET /v1/ready-to-transfer-p2p; use the [trade websocket](/websocket.md).
