# Podium Security Basics

## Overview
Implementation patterns for Podium security basics using the REST API with OAuth2 authentication.

## Prerequisites
- Completed `podium-install-auth` setup
- Valid OAuth2 access token

## Instructions

### Step 1: API Call Pattern
```typescript
import axios from 'axios';

const podium = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://api.podium.com/v4',
  headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.PODIUM_ACCESS_TOKEN}` },
});

const { data } = await podium.get('/locations');
console.log(`Locations: ${data.data.length}`);
```

## Output
- Podium API integration for security basics
- OAuth2 authenticated requests
- Error handling and retry logic

## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| 401 Unauthorized | Expired token | Refresh OAuth token |
| 429 Rate Limited | Too many requests | Implement backoff |
| 403 Forbidden | Missing scope | Update OAuth app scopes |
