    const endpoints = ['/api/collections.list', '/api/collections/list', '/api/collections', '/api/collection/list'];
  
    for (const endpoint of endpoints) {
      try {
        const response = await this.api.post(endpoint, {});
        return response.data.data || response.data;
      } catch (error: any) {
        if (error.response?.status === 404 && endpoint !== endpoints[endpoints.length - 1]) {
          console.error(`Endpoint ${endpoint} not found, trying next...`);
