Steps
Check docs.paperlessparts.com for the current REST API reference; confirm the API base domain (api.paperlessparts.com) and that requests/responses are JSON
Confirm an API token is required, generated and managed from the Settings page of the shop's own Paperless Parts account — this is account-specific, not a shared or public key
If building in Python, check the official SDK at github.com/part-os/core-python before writing a raw REST client, since it supports custom event listeners for object-creation events
Note the published rate limit (100 requests/minute) and design polling/sync jobs to stay under it
Confirm current endpoint coverage against the live docs before committing to a specific integration design, since the API is actively being extended
Known gotchas
The interactive API reference at docs.paperlessparts.com is a JavaScript single-page app — content will not appear via a plain HTTP fetch/curl without rendering; use a browser or the documented endpoints directly, not a scraped static fetch
A beta docs site (beta-docs.paperlessparts.com) also exists — confirm which version's endpoints are stable/production before relying on it for production integrations
