Using Reference Documentation

Best Practices

1. Use Search: Use Ctrl+F to find specific information quickly
2. Check Version: Ensure documentation matches your FinWiz version
3. Follow Types: Pay attention to type annotations and constraints
4. Try Examples: Test code examples in your environment
5. Report Issues: Submit corrections via GitHub Issues

When to Use Reference

Use reference documentation when you:

• ✅ Need exact parameter specifications
• ✅ Want to understand return values
• ✅ Need to look up error codes
• ✅ Want to verify configuration options
• ✅ Need API signatures

Don't use reference for:

• ❌ Learning FinWiz (use Tutorials)
• ❌ Solving specific problems (use How-To Guides)
• ❌ Understanding concepts (use Explanations)

Contributing to Reference

Reference documentation should be:

• Accurate: Verified against code
• Complete: No missing information
• Concise: Clear and to the point
• Current: Updated with each release

See Contributing Guidelines for details.
