Paginate and export large result sets from the WellDatabase API

Steps
List endpoints default to 20 results per page; pass ?pageOffset=N (0-based) to page through results.
Some endpoints accept ?pageSize up to 100, but not all endpoints honor pageSize - check the specific method's page at app.welldatabase.com/apihelp.
For a well's production/decline-curve series, call GET /wells/{wellId}/production with pageOffset and pageSize query params.
For pulling large datasets, use the dedicated Exports endpoints instead of paginating search results one page at a time.
Respect the documented abuse limit of 1 request/second in addition to the hourly RateLimit-Limit, or you'll get a 429 with a distinct rate-limit-hit message.
Known gotchas
pageOffset is 0-based, not 1-based - off-by-one paging errors are common.
Exceeding the per-second concurrency limit produces a different 429 response body ("Request Rate Limit Hit...") than exceeding the hourly quota ("No Requests Available...") - branch retry logic on the message field, not just the status code.
