## Catalog APIs

Catalog APIs are external programmable services that agents or applications can consume. They are different from the [Scrums.com platform API](/docs/api-reference/introduction), which manages Scrums.com resources.

Before deployment, review:

* API contract and versioning policy
* Authentication and credential rotation
* Request and response data handling
* Rate limits, quotas, and retry behavior
* Regional availability and data residency
* Usage units and cost controls
* Provider uptime and support terms

Store credentials outside code and apply the smallest permission scope available.
