API endpoints are organized into modules by feature domain:
- `API::AdServing`: Request ads and submit proof of play
- Future: `API::CreativeCaching`, `API::UnifiedServing` (Sprint 2+)
- `API::CreativeCaching`: Pre-fetch creative assets for bandwidth optimization
- `API::UnifiedServing`: Loop-based content scheduling for playlists

## Features

- **Three Complete APIs**: Ad Serving, Creative Caching, Unified Ad Serving
- **Modular Architecture**: Clean separation between HTTP layer and business logic
- **Comprehensive Error Handling**: Custom exceptions for authentication, API, and connection failures
- **Automatic Retries**: Built-in retry logic for transient failures (429, 5xx errors)
- **Type Safety**: Parameter validation with descriptive error messages
- **Debug Logging**: Optional request/response logging via `VISTAR_DEBUG` environment variable
- **Full Test Coverage**: 98.73% code coverage with 118 test examples
- **Full Test Coverage**: 98.17% code coverage with 164 test examples
- **Complete Documentation**: 100% YARD documentation coverage

## API Methods

### Request Ad
### Ad Serving API

#### Request Ad

Request a programmatic ad from the Vistar Media API.

Expand Down Expand Up @@ -138,6 +144,117 @@ response = client.submit_proof_of_play(

**Raises**: Same as `request_ad`

### Creative Caching API

#### Get Asset

Pre-fetch creative assets for the next 30 hours to optimize bandwidth usage.

```ruby
response = client.get_asset(
device_id: 'device-123', # required: unique device identifier
venue_id: 'venue-456', # required: venue identifier
display_time: Time.now.to_i, # required: epoch seconds (UTC)
display_area: { # required: display configuration
id: 'display-0',
width: 1920,
height: 1080,
supported_media: ['image/jpeg', 'video/mp4'],
allow_audio: false
},

# Optional parameters:
device_attribute: [{ name: 'location', value: 'lobby' }],
latitude: 37.7749,
longitude: -122.4194
)
```

**Returns**: Hash with `asset[]` array containing creative metadata:
- `asset_id`, `creative_id`, `asset_url`
- `width`, `height`, `mime_type`
- `length_in_seconds`, `advertiser`, `creative_name`

**Use Case**: Call once daily or on first sight. Cache assets locally by `asset_url`.

**Raises**:
- `ArgumentError`: Invalid or missing required parameters (device_id, venue_id, display_time, display_area)
- `AuthenticationError`: Invalid API credentials (401)
- `APIError`: Other API errors (4xx/5xx)
- `ConnectionError`: Network failures

### Unified Ad Serving API

#### Get Loop

Get a scheduled loop of content slots for digital signage playlists.

```ruby
response = client.get_loop(
venue_id: 'venue-456', # required: venue identifier

# Optional parameters:
display_time: Time.now.to_i + 86400, # epoch seconds for future scheduling (up to 10 days)
with_metadata: true # include order/advertiser metadata
)
```

**Returns**: Hash containing:
- `slots[]`: Array of content slots with type (advertisement/content/programmatic)
- Each slot includes: `tracking_url`, `asset_url`, `length_in_seconds`, `loop_position`
- Programmatic slots don't have `asset_url` (use `request_ad` instead)
- `assets[]`: Array of unique assets for pre-caching
- `start_time`, `end_time`: Loop validity window (typically 24 hours)

**Loop Types**:
- **advertisement**: Direct scheduled ad → play asset → hit tracking URL
- **content**: Loop-based content → play asset → hit tracking URL
- **programmatic**: Make `request_ad` call → play returned ad → submit proof of play

**Business Rules**:
- Loop repeats until `end_time`
- Request new loops at least every 30 minutes
- Maximum 500 slots per response
- Check `end_time` before each slot, request new loop if expired

**Example Workflow**:
```ruby
loop_data = client.get_loop(venue_id: 'venue-456')

loop_data['slots'].each do |slot|
case slot['type']
when 'advertisement', 'content'
play_asset(slot['asset_url'])
client.submit_loop_tracking(
tracking_url: slot['tracking_url'],
display_time: Time.now.to_i
)
when 'programmatic'
ad = client.request_ad(...)
# handle programmatic ad
end
end
```

**Raises**: Same as `get_asset`

#### Submit Loop Tracking

Convenience method to hit tracking URLs with automatic display_time appending.

```ruby
client.submit_loop_tracking(
tracking_url: slot['tracking_url'], # required: from loop slot
display_time: Time.now.to_i # optional: defaults to current time
)
```

**Note**: Tracking URLs don't expire, supporting offline devices (up to 30 days in past).

**Raises**:
- `ArgumentError`: Missing tracking_url
- `ConnectionError`: Network failures
