• I’m weighing different ways to get accessible API documentation, considering WebSearch for citations, and possibly using shell curl commands since
  network is enabled, but focusing on how to stay compliant with citation requirements by relying mostly on search results. I’m also thinking about
  searching for specific JSON resources on Apple’s developer site via web.run to get structured data.
