# Getting Started

Welcome to the API Documentation. This guide will help you get started with the basics.

## Installation

To install this project, use pip:

```bash
pip install your-package-name
```

## Basic Usage

Here's a simple example to get started:

```python
import your_package

# Initialize the client
client = your_package.Client()

# Make your first request
response = client.get('/api/endpoint')
print(response.data)
```

> **Note**: Make sure you have Python 3.7 or higher installed.

## Configuration

You can configure the client with various options:

```python
config = {
    'api_key': 'your-api-key',
    'timeout': 30,
    'retry': True
}

client = your_package.Client(**config)
```

## Common Patterns

### Error Handling

Always handle errors in your code:

```python
try:
    response = client.get('/api/data')
except your_package.APIError as e:
    print(f"API Error: {e}")
except your_package.NetworkError as e:
    print(f"Network Error: {e}")
```

### Authentication

Authenticate with your API key:

```python
client.set_auth('your-api-key')
```
