Last time I asked a niche api question it showed me how to formulate the question so I could post it on this GitHub issues..

That looks like advice on how NOT to ask for technical support on a public forum.

Be generic and vague. Omit as many details as possible, this will only distract from the problem at hand.
remember to include your private API key to share it with the world.

How is that a niche api question? That's a public api that is scraped up.

It's also a terrible way to ask the question. It's how a clueless newb asks questions. Anyone hoping to help needs to at least know: What are you attempting to use the end point for and What results are you receiving vs expecting?

It is a perfect example of why you still need good programmers, that know what/how to ask.

Also also it told him to include the API key and used v3 in the URL.
