const client = new PriceChartingClient({ requestDelay: 500 });

// Search for products
const results = await client.search('charizard', { category: 'pokemon-cards' });

// Get full product pricing data
const product = await client.getProductPrice('pokemon-scarlet-&-violet-151', 'charizard-ex-199');

// Get product metadata
const meta = await client.getProductMeta('pokemon-scarlet-&-violet-151', 'charizard-ex-199');

// Get available categories
const categories = await client.getCategories();

// Get groups/sets within a category
const groups = await client.getGroupList('pokemon-cards');
