Format the output in markdown, highlighting any new additions or changes made to the original content.

Please run a test to confirm the functionality of the API key for [API NAME]. Provide detailed test results, including the status of the authentication process and any relevant error messages if the authentication fails. Additionally, outline the steps taken during the test and any recommendations for further troubleshooting if the API key does not authenticate successfully. Format the results in a clear and organized manner.

Please execute a request to validate the authentication headers for the API integration. Ensure that the headers are correctly formatted and include all necessary information. After executing the request, display the full response received, including any status codes and error messages if applicable. Additionally, provide a brief analysis of whether the authentication was successful or if further adjustments are needed.

Please access the API endpoints using the corrected URLs provided. Confirm whether each endpoint is reachable and returning valid responses. For each endpoint, provide the response status code, any relevant data returned, and note any errors encountered. Format the results in a clear table with columns for the endpoint URL, status code, and response details.

Please help me reproduce the original scenario that led to the authentication failure in the [APPLICATION NAME] integration. Start by outlining the specific steps taken during the initial attempt, including any relevant configurations or inputs used. After recreating the scenario, confirm whether the issue persists and document the results before and after the attempted resolution. Include any error messages encountered and any changes made to resolve the issue, ensuring a clear comparison of the outcomes.

Please run a comprehensive set of tests to verify that the API integration for [API NAME] is fully operational. Include tests for connectivity, response times, and data accuracy. Provide detailed results for each test, highlighting any failures or issues encountered, along with suggestions for resolving them. Format the results in a clear and organized manner, summarizing the overall status of the integration and any next steps that may be necessary.

Please draft a new rule for the CLAUDE.md file aimed at preventing future API authentication issues. The rule should include a clear explanation of the problem that was fixed, the steps taken to resolve it, and specific guidelines or best practices to follow to avoid similar issues in the future. Ensure that the language is concise and technical, suitable for developers, and provide the exact text that can be directly added to the CLAUDE.md file.

Please create a detailed checklist for verifying API key usage at the start of any session. The checklist should include specific steps such as confirming the API key is correctly placed in the appropriate configuration files, ensuring that the key is stored securely and not hard-coded in the source code, checking for any environment variables that may need to be set, and validating that the API key has the necessary permissions for the intended operations. Additionally, include steps for monitoring API key usage and guidelines for rotating keys regularly to enhance security. Format the checklist in a clear, numbered list for easy reference.

Please provide a detailed comment that specifies the required authentication headers needed for the code to function correctly. Include the exact header names, their expected values, and any relevant notes about their usage or format.
