THIN CLIENT

    The thin API client library is advantageous as it has complete API
    coverage and can easily adapt to changes in the API with minimal
    effort. As a thin-client superclass, this module does not map specific
    HTTP requests to specific routines, nor does it provide parameter
    validation, pagination, or other conventions found in typical API
    client implementations; Instead, it simply provides a simple and
    consistent mechanism for dynamically generating HTTP requests.
    Additionally, this module has support for debugging and retrying API
    calls as well as throwing exceptions when 4xx and 5xx server response
    codes are returned.

Building up an HTTP request is extremely easy, simply call the L</resource> to
create a new object instance representing the API endpoint you wish to issue a
request against.
