Guides
======

Use this section for task-focused walkthroughes once your environment is set up.
These guides show practical patterns for authenticating, querying RSA ID Plus
data, and handling failures in production-oriented workflows.

If you are new to these workflows, follow this order:

1. Read :doc:`authentication` to configure client credentials safely.
2. Finish with :doc:`error-handling` for retries, diagnostics, and exception strategy.
3. Review :doc:`testing` for local test execution and integration-test opt-in.

This section is designed to help you:

- Choose a secure authentication pattern for scripts and applications.
- Query records efficiently, including pagination and search use cases.
- Build resilient integrations with explicit error handling and retries.

For first-time package setup, start with the :doc:`../getting-started/index` section.
For API and exception details, see the :doc:`../reference/index` section.
For release history, see the :doc:`../CHANGELOG`.
