Guidelines

1. Two API versions: Use v1 for subscriber lookups (more comprehensive), v2 for managing products/offerings/entitlements configuration
2. Authentication: Both versions use Bearer token. Always use --header "Authorization: Bearer $REVENUECAT_TOKEN"
3. Secret vs public keys: Use Secret API keys (prefix sk_) for server-side calls. Never expose secret keys in client apps
4. Project ID: API v2 endpoints are scoped to a project. Find your project ID in RevenueCat dashboard settings
5. App User ID: Customer identifiers can contain special characters. URL-encode them when passing in URL paths
6. Rate limits: RevenueCat enforces rate limits. Implement exponential backoff for HTTP 429 responses
7. Subscriber attributes: Use reserved attribute keys prefixed with $ (e.g., $email, $displayName, $phoneNumber) for standard fields
8. Promotional entitlements: Duration-based promotionals automatically expire. Use lifetime for permanent access
