4. Before you ship

Set a timeout and handle non-200 responses: free APIs can rate-limit or go down.
Cache responses where you can, instead of calling the API on every page view.
Keep the API key in an environment variable, never in source control.
Read the official documentation ↗ for rate limits and terms of use.
