## 🔍 API Reference

The server provides comprehensive API documentation integration. Use the following tools to explore:

- `search_api_documentation` - Search for specific functionality
- `get_api_endpoint_details` - Get detailed endpoint information
- Access the built-in resource: `customgpt://api-documentation`

## Security Considerations

### API Key Management
- API keys are masked in all logs (only last 4 characters shown)
- Keys are never stored persistently on the server
- Each request validates the API key independently
- Failed authentication attempts are logged for monitoring

### Network Security
- CORS configuration for production environments
- HTTPS enforcement in production
- Request rate limiting (when deployed with proper infrastructure)
- Input validation for all parameters

### Best Practices
1. Use environment variables for configuration
2. Deploy with HTTPS enabled
3. Configure CORS appropriately for your use case
4. Monitor logs for unusual activity
5. Regularly rotate API keys

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### "Invalid API key format"
- Ensure your API key is correctly formatted
- Check that there are no extra spaces or characters
- Verify the key is from CustomGPT.ai dashboard

#### "Authentication failed"
- API key may be invalid or expired
- Check API key permissions in CustomGPT.ai dashboard
- Try regenerating your API key

#### "Connection timeout"
- Check internet connectivity
- Verify CustomGPT.ai service status
- Ensure firewall isn't blocking requests

#### "API documentation not available"
- Ensure `docs/openapi.json` exists in the project
- Check file permissions
- Verify the JSON file is valid

### Debug Mode
Enable debug logging by setting `DEBUG=true` in your environment:

```bash
DEBUG=true python server.py
```

### Health Checks
The server provides health check endpoints:
- `/health` - Basic server health
- `/api/v1/health` - API health with version info
