Steps
Authenticate with a client key assigned the Patrons Read role
Send GET /v6/patrons/{id}/checkouts
Add the fields query parameter (e.g., fields=default,barcode,callNumber,numberOfRenewals) to include extra attributes
Parse each checkout object for the item link, ISO 8601 due date, and renewal count
Known gotchas
Reading checkouts requires only the Patrons Read role; the Patrons Write role is needed for checkout/renewal POST operations, not this GET
The POST /v6/patrons/checkout endpoint (self-checkout by patron and item barcode, Patrons Write role) requires Sierra 5.2+; the read endpoint above does not carry that gate
